Research group Working in Education
The Research Group on Working in Education contributes to strengthening the profession of professionals who work in education on a broad scale. We examine how (future) educational professionals can continue their professional development within school organizations that function as both learning environments and workplaces that function as workplaces that potentially facilitate learning, for the realization of an attractive profession and good education.
Our research is practice-oriented and, where possible, conducted in collaboration with educational professionals. We examine educational professionals’ learning and acting at various levels within the school organization, paying attention to the interconnections between these levels.
