NATED thematic tracks

The tracks are based on the following criteria: societal relevance, existing relevant research of a high international standard at the participating institutions, involvement of leading international researchers, a critical mass of doctoral students, a clear synergy between at least two or three of the participating institutions, and relevance for teacher education.

The tracks are interconnected cross-thematically in methodology, both in regard to quantitative and qualitative methods and mixed method approaches.

• Track 1: Language development, text comprehension and literacy
• Track 2: Learning and teaching in and out of schools
• Track 3: Educational leadership, school reform and education governance
• Track 4: Higher education and professional learning
