About our Visiting Researcher
Stefan Johansson is an associate professor of Education at the Department of Education and Special Education at the University of Gothenburg. His work primarily utilizes international large-scale datasets and register data to investigate a broad range of issues in education. One strand focuses on how formal teacher competence can be measured and how it affects student achievement. He also examines validity issues in educational assessments. In a recent project he has investigated the extent to which PISA test scores in Sweden align with national test results and grades, considering the moderating role of student motivation. As part of his academic responsibilities, he also coordinates two research schools focusing on quantitative methods in educational research.
