Division of Education, Teaching and Learning (PEDI)

The focus of our research and education is teachers’ work and students’ learning. To increase knowledge about school, education and learning we study different questions of educational, didactical and social character. Our knowledge is put to use in teacher education programs. We collaborate with municipalities, schools and school areas, carry out commissions for different authorities and take part in projects focusing internationalization of research and higher education.

Duty and gratitude behind academic diligence

A sense of gratitude towards parents for their sacrifices, and a desire to succeed and give something back. These are powerful drivers in studies of high-achieving young people with a migration background, according to a study from LiU.
