Symposium: The Rationale of and Subject-specific Research from the Danish Centre for Primary and Lower-secondary Education Research

Beskrivning

This symposium presents and discusses the rationale of and ongoing research from the Danish Centre for Primary and Lower-secondary Education Research. The centre is a strategic collaboration between University of Southern Denmark, Danish University Colleges, and other national and international research environments. The center’s vision is to conduct practice-oriented research in, with and for the primary and secondary school sector (cf. www.sdu.dk/en/cfgrund). The center is mission-driven, both idealistically and at the same time pragmatically striving to rethink and experiment with schooling focusing on how a good life for children relate to teaching excellence and school development in a world we would like to imagine as sustainable but is currently quite the opposite. The six symposium presentations explore how such a research programme could be theoretically framed and empirically operationalised through subject-specific research. Research questions are: How could school-subject research tap into the center vision and mission, and what does it require in terms of disciplinary and interdisciplinary research?
