Research subject Research in Higher Education
Research within higher education has the ambition to understand and analyse learning processes and their result on both students, university teachers, and groups or higher education organisations.
Higher education has a strong influence over future professionals. Understanding the terms, content and form of higher education are central in order for it to reach its full potential in both contributing to the future of society and as a study and workplace.
Our researchers are involved in both the development of theoretical explanatory models and in the designing of practical operational models in order to create the grounds for developing different dimensions of higher education. For example, studies look into the development of critical thinking, the impact of emotions on student learning, questions surrounding examination and course design, as well as the conditions provided by the higher education institution in order to support good academic teaching.
