About us
Objectives EDWE is a recently assembled research group, consisting of the former Educational Sciences Department and the Adult Education research group. Together they have defined three topics for research: - Educational change and innovation - Community building - Cultural education Within the first, change and innovation are studied on micro-level (learning and instruction), organizational level and national policy level. The second, community building, aims at investigating conditions for positive community building from a humanistic perspective. The third, cultural education, is aimed at the improvement of instructional strategies and settings for culture education in different age groups.
