Pedagogical practices are encounters between subjects. Our research springs from an interest in how such meetings constitute, and contribute to creating, frameworks for individual and collective growth and thus to build community and society.
We investigate practices of different kinds and at different levels. Our aim is to contribute to knowledge about how institutions and activities can accommodate the whole person and the diverse community.
We meet regularly both digitally and on campus in Lillehammer. If you find any of our themes or projects interesting, feel free to contact us!
What we research
Our research projects ask questions such as: What contribution can schools make to children and young people's health and life skills? What constitutes good and comprehensive sexuality education? How can schools help prevent young people's alienation? What are the opportunities and barriers when it comes to achieving good cooperation across different professions and sectors? How can teaching facilitate students' development of academic skills? How can higher education facilitate transformative learning experiences? What characterizes microcultures where staff in higher education collaborate to develop teaching quality?
More about the research group
The members of the research group come from the former research group 'Children, young people and public health' and the participants in a project collaboration between teachers on the first-year study in pedagogy. The group has two main thematic tracks.
1. Children and young people, their relationships with peers, their development and quality of life.
2. Quality work and transformative teaching practices in higher education.
For both tracks it is assumed that the research is concerned with the whole person. Development, health and learning are linked, and this challenges fields of practice that work with children and young people, as well as higher education and research, to develop interdisciplinary understandings and practices. Our research is therefore rooted in a scientific view that highlights the importance of transdisciplinarity in work with knowledge production.
