00:00.720 --> 00:03.240
— If I were to summarise
the research that I—

00:03.240 --> 00:06.240
—have been engaged in
for over 20 years.

00:06.400 --> 00:11.020
I would say that
reflection, education, and ethics—

00:11.400 --> 00:15.500
—capture most of what
I have been working with.

00:15.720 --> 00:18.276
My name is Sara Irisdotter Aldenmyr.

00:18.300 --> 00:20.716
I work as a professor of didactics—

00:20.740 --> 00:24.348
—with a focus on
collaborative school research.

00:24.520 --> 00:27.756
There are different types of researchers
but there are definitely—

00:27.780 --> 00:31.276
—common traits,
and that is curiosity.

00:31.300 --> 00:35.016
And an ability to become passionate.

00:35.040 --> 00:37.996
To go a bit further with
your questions and reflections—

00:38.020 --> 00:39.700
—than you might in everyday life.

00:40.200 --> 00:43.840
That is what unites those of us
who end up in the research world.

00:44.000 --> 00:48.236
What sparked my interest in
pursuing research in the first place.

00:48.260 --> 00:51.276
It was a passion for analysis.

00:51.300 --> 00:55.080
To understand—or try to get
behind—what we take for granted.

00:55.240 --> 00:57.156
That has been a driving force.

00:57.180 --> 01:00.916
When I find
that analytical approach.

01:00.940 --> 01:04.236
How can I understand this
in an alternative way—

01:04.260 --> 01:05.820
—or in a deeper way?

01:05.960 --> 01:07.480
That is when I feel energised.

01:07.480 --> 01:12.076
My future ambitions for
school and society are broad.

01:12.100 --> 01:15.556
There, I want to be
part of positive development.

01:15.580 --> 01:20.500
More concretely, I also dream
of bringing more creativity—

01:20.800 --> 01:23.356
—creative joy and
creative power into schools—

01:23.380 --> 01:25.056
—and the teaching profession.

01:25.080 --> 01:28.556
So that is my dream, that
schools and the teaching profession—

01:28.580 --> 01:31.016
—can embrace this more.

01:31.040 --> 01:33.996
I stand up and walk out of frame.
I won’t hit my head on it.

01:34.020 --> 01:36.836
Feel free to do that.
We don’t have one of those yet.

01:36.860 --> 01:38.660
No.
That works fine.
