What we research
In TLPE, we are concerned with issues related to teaching and learning in physical education, physical education teaching, and bodily learning. The aim of our research is to contribute to knowledge development that can enhance practice, for the benefit of both school students and students in education.
More about the research group
In addition to publishing in scholarly channels, we also aim for our research results to reach the general public outside of academia. Therefore, we regularly communicate our research on the blog kroppsøvingsforskning.no. Our posts are often published on forskning.no as well.
Conferences and events
The research group has also organized an annual method conference focusing on qualitative physical education research. In 2018, the theme was action research. In 2019, the focus was on observation as a method, and in 2021, we emphasized the analysis of qualitative data. The theme for 2022 was "From idea to international publication in physical education. The conference is currently on hold.
