Foundations of Education
The Foundations of Education department focuses on education and training. How can education and training contribute to people reaching their full potential and flourishing? And how can education and training contribute to promoting a humane society?
The group consists of theoretical pedagogues and philosophers as well as empirical researchers, who base their research on educational, pedagogical and social questions. Central themes are the relationship between philosophical, moral and civic education in education, and the way in which these contribute to the flourishing of pupils and students themselves. Researchers also work together with professionals, pupils and parents to improve educational practices.
