Research groups

Research on Diversity in Education and Society (ReDES)

ReDES research group consists of researchers, teachers and PhD-students, preferably from the Institution School Development and Leadership but also from other institutions at the Faculty Learning and Society. A central theme in the group's research is diversity, which is studied in relation to teaching, learning, language/multilingualism, communication, profession, ethics, health and cooperation. The results of the conducted research in the group can be especially beneficial for future and active special pedagogy teachers, student health teams and teachers at different levels in the education system.

Everyone with an interest in diversity, pedagogy/special pedagogy and public health from a societal perspective are welcome to take part in the groups activities. The research platform's and the research group's common work is mainly represented by seminars with the purpose of reading and acting as critical friends to each other’s scientific texts, write research grant applications and prepare conference participation.

Phenomenography, Variation Theory and Learning Study (PeVALS)

The common theoretical base is research on phenomenography, variation theory as theoretical perspectives on learning, but also action research and improvement science. Based on these approaches, the group studies intentional learning at pre-school or school together with teachers, with a focus on the learner’s perspectives. By studying the relationship between instruction and learning processes, results are used to develop learning and design new teaching approaches based on scientific knowledge.
