The research group will establish itself as an innovative and engaging research community that contributes with interdisciplinary perspectives on children's learning and the transition from kindergarten to school. In particular, the research group directs attention to how children participate and get involved in learning-promoting situations that are based on play and problem solving. National and international collaboration has been established and is an important part of the research group's activity.
Nature and movement in kindergarten and primary school
The research group, NB3, is concerned with how children aged 0-12 explore interdisciplinary topics such as science, language and movement through the joy of movement, problem solving and science representations.

What we research
We research issues linked to the change children experience in the transition from a play-based everyday life to a school everyday with an increasing focus on theory. We work across teacher training courses in science and physical education, with links to Norwegian and second language didactics. The possibilities that lie in other learning arenas and their affordances are researched in connection with children's use of semiotic resources.
More about the research group
The research group contributes knowledge about how children learn through interactions in interdisciplinary and play-based situations. Children's work with language and representations is an important research area for the group.
In collaboration with schools and kindergartens, issues relevant to practice are investigated. Teacher training and collaboration between teacher educators and teachers, both nationally and internationally, are also among the areas that the research group works on.
