Upbringing and education

In existing and new 5-year subject teacher training in music, as well as within primary school and kindergarten teacher training, awareness of and quality of artistic development work (ADW) in general and ADW linked to aesthetic learning processes are important to meet the requirements for research-based teaching. The group represents the branch of ADW that combines ADW with scientific research.  

What we research

Among other things, the group will focus on projects that artistically and scientifically discuss proximity and distance in education and in art. Perspectives from embodied art, being in the body and aesthetic learning processes in and through art will be central to the group's work. The group publishes its work nationally and internationally, and through differentiated use of presentation forms.

More about the research group

The group also contributes to supporting the already established doctoral program in profession-oriented teacher education subjects (PROFF), primarily by creating a tradition for ADW of high quality aimed at aesthetic practices in and relevant to teacher education, and awareness among students of how aesthetic practices can be included as a research object for doctoral students in traditional research within PROFF.

The work in the research group will contribute to the faculty's and INN University's internationalization work and will strengthen existing networks and build stronger and closer relationships with both national and international networks, adapted to the various members' subject areas, professional identities and projects.
