The research focus of our team is on educational management and educational research in the area of further education. This includes professional development and learning processes both in institutionalised (e.g., training courses) and non-institutionalised (e.g., workplaces) learning environments.

Previous and on-going research projects:

  • Epistemic beliefs and their effect on the learning processes in the workplace
  • Learning from mistakes/errors
  • Intuition as a component of expertise
  • Agency at work / Agentic development
  • Efficacy of further education courses (trainings)
  • Workplace curricula in health domains
  • Individual and social influences on professional learning
  • Digitalisation of work
  • Commitment to change
  • Learning and workplace cultures
