Bo Dahlin

Bo Dahlin (born 1948) is a Swedish educationalist. He is Professor of Education at Karlstad University and Professor II at Rudolf Steiner University College in Oslo. Dahlin's research is focused on didactics, especially philosophical and phenomenographic studies of learning in different contexts, e.g. how people in different cultures perceive learning, knowledge and understanding.[1] He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the international academic journal Research on Steiner Education.

Dahlin has a doctoral degree in education (kulturpedagogik) from Gothenburg University in 1989. He was a Docent (Reader) in Education at Gothenburg University from 1998 to 2004. In 2004, he was appointed as Professor of Education at Karlstad University.

Dahlin has carried out comparative research on Waldorf education and public schools. His research found Waldorf pupils to be less racist, more tolerant, characterized by greater social and moral responsibility, more concerned that choices should be based on their own thinking, have less tolerance for bullying, be more concerned about environmental issues and to a greater extent pursue higher education than pupils in public schools in Sweden.[2][3]
