Elisabet Mellroth is a doctor in educational work. In her doctoral work she focused on the teacher role and how the teacher can support the mathematically gifted pupils within the inclusive diverse classroom. In her research the experienced teacher is an important aspect.

Elisabet defended her thesis "Harnessing teachers' perspectives" the 10th of December 2018.

Her research is connected to a school development program of mathematical giftedness, some information of this project can be found on her blog pedagogvarmland.se/mellroth 

In her licentiate study in mathematics education at ¹û¶³´«Ã½ she compared achievement in mathematics through using different tests, the national test in mathematics and the mathematical Kangaroo a mathematic competition. Of special interest were those students that were high-achievers on one test but low achiever on the other. Her licentiate thesis High achiever! Always a high achiever? was published in December 2014. 

Elisabet is a general committee member of European Council for High Ability (ECHA). 

She is also an international committee in the international group for Mathematical Creativity and Giftedness (igmcg.org)

She gives seminars and professional development programs on high ability and gifted education all over Sweden and also in the international context. Both in teacher education and for in-service teachers as well as school-leaders and politicians.
