Research and development work in this network is widely established around different topics such as play, learning, wellbeing, psychosocial environment and sustainability in the kindergarten. This also includes pedagogical management of such processes.
The research network seeks to combine a multitude of theoretical perspectives in its work, and it's an overarching goal that all research must be relevant for and benefit the practice field for kindergartens.
Furthermore, the network also operates within different scientific and methodocial perspectives and seeks to maintain diverse methodologies in their projects.
It is the research network's goal to develop and complete relevant resarch projects, develop applications for externally funded projects, cooperate on publishing results and otherwise continue to be a forum for cooperation, discussion and guidance among academic staff at DMMH within pedagogy and sustainability.
