We all have an opinion on parenting and education. Everyone knows something about it and has had to deal with it. Pedagogues and educationalists study people's behaviour and the processes that take place between them in upbringing, education, training and counselling.
Pedagogical and Educational Sciences
Department
Education
Research
From scientific research, pedagogy contributes to the improvement, change and prevention of problems in children, adolescents and young adults. Educational sciences does so in education at all levels: from primary education to learning in work organisations.
Our research takes place within the research institutes Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) and Donders Institute.
RU COOL
Our students are at the centre of society. During their education, we encourage them to seek knowledge not only within the walls of the university, but also in practice. In this way, they develop into versatile scientist-practitioners.
Internship school for PWPO students
Do you want to contribute to the development of future colleagues in primary education? Do you think it is important that they teach based on scientific insights? Then the interns of the programme Pedagogical Sciences of Primary Education might be who you’re looking for.
Our students learn to connect theory and practice. Besides a good university education, an informative internship is crucial to this. At the internship schools, teachers of primary schools and universities work together closely and learn both with and from each other.
