Research into education at the UvA is important for increasing the quality of education. We support the various forms of research initiated by TLC Central, often in collaboration with other departements within the UvA. Explore the different studies, projects and programmes and get involved!

What type of research is being done?

• Small-scale research conducted by teachers themselves, into questions from their own educational practice (such as within the Education Research Fellows Programme).
• Multi-year policy and practice-oriented research by TLC-Central researchers concerning themes relevant to teacher development and educational innovation.
• Research projects on ongoing themes, such as blended education and online education.

Together, these studies contribute to evidence-informed education wherein teachers base not only their subject content, but also their didactic actions on scientific research. You can read more about the different studies and programmes below.
