Education, teaching and interventions

Research on education, teaching and interventions focuses on the research-based development of teaching, education and training practices and the identification and development of teaching and guidance interaction practices that support inclusion, learning and growth.

The research focuses on interaction in different learning situations and groups, as well as in subject-specific teaching. The area also includes research on curricula and documentation of teaching and learning activities and how they reflect and guide teaching and learning.

Intervention research focuses specifically on the means of supporting learning and behaviour, with the aim of developing effective and evidence-based teaching practices and support structures. In addition to research on the effectiveness of learning in different work and school settings, our researchers conduct experimental research on teaching and learning.
