The research group focuses on interventions in educational psychology at individual, group and system levels.
The research group has a special focus on evidence-based interventions that strengthen development and learning for children, adolescents and adults, who need facilitation to stimulate development and learning outcomes. This includes early identification of learning-related difficulties as well as implementation of measures through the development, implementation and evaluation of interventions. Furthermore, the research group focuses on professions and organizations where the introduction of technology and new working methods provides opportunities for knowledge development and learning.
The research group is interdisciplinary, and consists of professionals with a background in special needs education, pedagogy, psychology and neurobiology. The researchers have sharpened expertise in innovation work and evaluation research. As a research method, we use both quantitative and qualitative methods. Intervention research uses randomized controlled trials to investigate the effects of measures. Qualitative method is used to gain in-depth knowledge of various conditions when implementing measures.
The aims of the research group are to develop an internationally recognized research environment, and publish research at an internationally high level with a focus on child development, interventions in educational psychology and professional development.
The research are relevant for professionals in kindergarten, school and education, PP-service, child and adolescent psychiatry as well as specialist health services and professions related to child and adolescent psychosocial development and learning.
The research group's goals for 2020-2023 are:
Speech sound disorders
Reading disorders
Developmental language disorders
