People's learning, homes and leisure time
Our activities are focused on people in an everyday context – learning, leisure time and the home. Our researchers work with issues that are closely related to our courses. The issues include, for example, learning and teaching among children, young people and adults, the impact of digital technology on our learning processes and how well grades can actually predict future success with studying. But the researchers also work with issues such as sustainable development and schools’ organisation and educational planning.
Future teachers and teachers who are already working take many of their courses with us. There are also future restaurant managers, food economists, trainers, educational leaders and health promotion workers among our 4,000 students.
