Research

The USE Center will strengthen Denmark’s ability to perform translational and discipline-based education research that is prompted and informed by teachers and teach-ing practice and improves teaching and learning.

This would strengthen the foundation and infra-structure for Danish science education to be firmly based on state-of-the-art knowledge about designing and carrying out teaching and about methodologies and curriculum design that are appropriate to contemporary educational objectives and for the students.

How is the research translational?

Design-based research projects and research & development projects ensure that the research questions will be both generated from and directly inform teaching practice. This integration fosters a dynamic feedback loop where findings from the research are translated into actionable strategies. Furthermore, teachers will be involved in the research processes and educational innovations will be grounded in the realities of classroom teaching.
