RelMaS is a national program financed by the Swedish Research Council to strengthen the research capacity of teacher educators.
RelMaS has received funding for two cohorts of students. The first cohort, RelMaS 1, runs from 2020-2024, and the second cohort, RelMaS 2, runs from 2022-2026.
The purpose of RelMaS is to strengthen research in mathematics and science education, by engaging teacher educators in practice-oriented research aiming to analyze and develop didactic models for making relevant mathematics and science education.
RelMaS addresses the challenges of educating younger generations for navigating and transforming a complex world of climate change, where mathematical and scientific knowledge intertwine in dealing with wicked problems now and in the future. This involves negotiating common views of the content, pedagogies and research foundations of school mathematics and science, to make them significant for active citizenship and to provide equitable access to the content to a diverse student population.
