Practice-oriented education research receives funding
The Swedish Institute for Educational Research has granted funding to three projects at Karlstad University focusing on practice-oriented education research. The university also has a co-applicant involved in another project. The objective of the projects is improved teaching within the Swedish school system.
The researchers at Karlstad University who have been granted funding all have a particular interest in subject-specific education. The research focus is on what happens in the classroom and the interaction between teachers and pupils in the learning process. The researchers want to know more about how pupils can learn about different subjects in a more effective way, and to find answers, they work closely with both teachers and pupils.
