Our research

At the department, there is a lively research environment with many projects addressing a range of topics: preschool, school, school-age educare (leisure-time centre) and other institutional activities including adult education and lifelong learning. There is also research that concerns the broader conditions of life and wellbeing of children and young people in contemporary society in different parts of the world. Another prominent interest is digitalization and learning in societies undergoing rapid change.

Research themes

The research is multidisciplinary and organized in six different research themes. Each of these themes consists of research groups with different specializations. The research groups conduct projects, write applications for research funding, and this is the context where the doctoral students receive significant parts of their scholarly training.
