Short description

I am a PhD research fellow at the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, in the Section for Sport and Physical Education. My PhD research focuses on the use of Model-based Practice (MbP) as a pedagogical approach to enhance inclusion in Physical Education (PE) within the Norwegian school context.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sport Science with a specialisation in school sport and leisure activities from Universitas Negeri Jakarta, a master’s degree in Sport Management from Seoul National University, as well as a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE-equivalent, PPU) in PE from the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN).

Since 2013, I have worked as a PE teacher in Indonesia, served as a project manager in a sport-based voluntary organisation, and worked as a school assistant at a primary school in Norway.

My research interests include inclusive pedagogy, multicultural pedagogy, diversity, and equitable learning environments in PE.
