About our research
The aim of the faculty Educational Sciences is to further education. To support it in its much-needed innovation and professionalisation activities. The best way to do that is through collaboration. The faculty Educational Sciences has chosen the approach of the 'ecology of education'.

This means that the faculty is not only active in the field of theoretical scientific research but also collaborates with users in developing and implementing scientifically sound learning environments, forms of education and didactics. The research activities take into account the complexity of education and the use of the rapidly developing technologies play an important part in them. The underlying thought is that the contact between educational science and educational practice is of vital importance for good educational research and therefore for the improvement of educational quality.

Nevertheless the faculty Educational Sciences imposes on itself very stringent scientfic demands: the results of its scientific activities have to be validated, have to be susceptible to generalization and have to find their way into authoritative (national and international) publications.
