Practice-oriented education research receives funding
The Swedish Institute for Educational Research has granted funding to three projects at ¹û¶³´«Ã½ 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 ¹û¶³´«Ã½ 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.

Perspectives on subject didactics in national contexts
On 9-12 September, the conference BERA/WERA was held in Manchester. One of the participants was Christina Olin-Scheller, professor of literary studies education and educational work at ¹û¶³´«Ã½. She took part in the symposium Transnational and Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Subject Didactics together with participants from other countries.
– The symposium consisted of collaborations that have developed within the KOSS network and the conference we co-organised in Trier in May. The presentations focused on subject didactic issues in relation to different national contexts. My presentation offered a Swedish perspective and highlighted challenges for literary studies education based on powerful knowledge and powerful professional knowledge.
