About
Gunhild Marie Roald has a ph.d. within counselling science, with a focus on coaching leadership. She has through many years of teaching, research and supervision been interested in how to create good relationships between counselors and clients, leaders and employees, teachers and students – and among colleagues and team members.
As a researcher at SFU Engage her focus is on how teachers within different disciplines can contribute to students’ development of entrepreneurial competence in interaction with others, for fruitful use in various working contexts. This implies developing the capacity for cooperation, creativity, problem-solving, reflection and critical thinking.
Research
My current research focuses on how students across different disciplines can be educated to develop entrepreneurial competence. This, in turn, concerns creating the conditions that enable future professionals to see themselves and their disciplinary expertise in relation to how they can address the “wicked” problems of our time and contribute to a better world. How can social workers, medical doctors, early childhood teachers, and engineers become skilled at identifying solutions to the challenges they encounter throughout their working lives — and have the courage and agency to act on them, together with others and within the context of an existing workplace culture?

Teaching
In my position as a researcher, my teaching role mainly consists of running and developing courses related to entrepeneurial teaching in different disciplines. This involves a basic 20-hour course in entrepreneurship education (both in Norwegian and English) for educators across disciplines (online and physical), as well as an advanced follow-up course (online). These courses are among the elective modules at the Uniped program at NTNU, but can also be attended by any educator anywhere in the world.
During my ten years as an Associate Professor and PhD candidate at the Department of Education and Lifelong Learning (NTNU), I have taught courses related to the humanistic-existentialistic theory and basic perspectives on counselling science, group supervision, and career guidance at both the bachelor’s and master’s levels, and I have held responsibility for both courses and study programs. In addition, I have taught phenomenology and philosophy of science, and I have led a preparatory master’s course.
Supervision
During my years as an associate professor at the Department of Education and Life-Long Learning at NTNU, I supervised 25 master students within RAD3902, Master Thesis in Counselling, with topics such as feedback, leadership, school counselling, motivation, coaching, career guidance, career guidance policy, and the counselling relationship.
I also supervised 5 master students in the further education program RAD6901, Organization and Leadership, Master Thesis, with topics such as relational leadership, feedback and learning within leadership.
On the PhD level, I co-supervised Mariel Hjelle at the Department of Industrial Economy and Technology Management, who successfully defended her doctoral thesis about stress management and metacognition among entrepreneurs and student entrepreneurs on June 13th, 2025.
