- Congratulations Diana von B枚rtzell-Szuch, you have been awarded Mensa Fund Grants 2023. Tell us a bit more about what it is and what you will be doing.
Thank you! I am so happy that my Ph.D. project has been funded.The various Mensa associations in Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden together distribute funds each year through the Nordic Mensa Foundation for research into various aspects on different aspects of intelligence. The research can be approached from various perspectives, such as psychology, medicine, or education. I applied for funding for my doctoral project Strength-Based Support in Reading Literacy Instruction for Students' Success. In the study, some middle school teachers will test an instructional model called the Schoolwide Enrichment Model - Reading (Reis et al., 2004). The model is designed to promote reading development and interest in reading for all students. Special emphasis will be placed on promoting the development of more advanced reading skills. With the funds awarded, I will now be able to purchase books in various genres for the participating classes to use in reading instruction. I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank the Nordic Mensa Foundation for the for the opportunities that the funds provide for my Ph.D. project!
