Research subject Teaching and Learning in Social Sciences

This research project aims to develop civics education on climate change with a focus on solutions. The goal is to give young people a sense of hope and belief that they can make a difference.

Visual models such as diagrams and flowcharts are popular tools in social studies education. But how well do students understand these models? And how can teaching be designed to make these models more effective in student learning? These are the questions we explore in this project.

Enacting Sex Education: a practice based study concerning an interdisciplinary knowledge content in Swedish secondary school.

Religious studies and psychology are school subjects connected to identity and worldview issues, which can be experienced as "close to life". We investigate how teaching can be designed so that teachers can offer students increased opportunities in learning the subject with integrity.

This is a two-part workshop where we explore care, maintenance and repair in the context of space science education. We are developing innovative pedagogical methods to create a greater inclusion of these themes in space science discourses.

This project explores the understanding of trust for upper secondary school students in the classroom of social science education.

Sustainability issues are complex. To simplify the complexity of sustainability issues, models are used in teaching. One challenge, however, is that we often don't really know what learning different models enable, or even hinder. The project "Sustainable models" takes on this particular challenge.

The research project is a national collaboration with history and social study subject teachers throughout Sweden. The starting point is teachers' own teaching and assessment of their students' learning. The focus is on the use of narratives and role-play in teaching.
