Research in Learning and Teaching (RiLT)
RiLT has emerged from a master program for teachers; Master in Learning and teaching at campus Sogndal. Our research is related to both primary, secondary and higher education.
Main topics for the research are learning, assessment, motivation, classroom management, mentoring, inclusive education, pedagogical entrepreneurship, digital learning and pedagogy in higher education.

Systematic observation
Karin S. Street is involved in an international research network in systematic observation which have received funding from UH-nett Vest to pilot and establish a research application for external funding.
The aim of the project is to develop and pilot video-based mentoring of teacher education students during placement practice periods in schools. The mentoring emphasis teacher-pupil interactions promoting pupils` social and educational/ subject specific achievements and is anchored in the theoretical framework Teaching Through Interaction (TTI) and the observation tool Classroom Assessment Scoring System (Pianta et al. 2012). The project will benefit from the competence in systematic video-based observation and mentoring across the involved teacher education institutions, which also will contribute to teacher educators` professional development in systematic observation. The international research network meets once a year (4th time in 2020) and will be used as resource in the development f the intervention and discussion of the results.
