At Linköping University (LiU), there are currently six research training programs with a focus on subject didactics. The graduate school will bring these together and create a sustainable and innovative research framework for teacher education programs where research training environments collaborate on subject didactics from various subject areas.
The graduate school contributes to the expansion of research and research training in connection with teacher education. Linköping University has the country's broadest range of teacher education programs. A variety of subjects contribute efforts to make this possible, but it also presents a challenge in achieving a research connection for all these subjects – especially when it comes to subject didactics research. Subject didactics research contributes to professional education being based on systematic, reflected, and current knowledge about teaching and learning in subjects.
The subject didactics research already conducted at LiU, and the expertise possessed by qualified subject didactics personnel, can be described as broad.
