27. Didactics - Learning and Teaching

The Network on Didactics, Learning and Teaching aims to advance research on didactics, learning and teaching in Europe. This  is seen as a necessary pre-condition for improving the quality of teaching, learning and the educational work of teachers at all levels of the educational system and in particular at the school level and in teacher education. In doing so this network aims to strengthen the field of research on didactics, learning and teaching which at this moment in time can be characterised by its fragmentation across Europe.
The very diverse systems of initial teacher education and similarly diverse arrangements for the continuing professional development of teachers reflect this fragmentation.

A particular distinguishing characteristic of this network is the explicit emphasis on the inter-disciplinary and applied nature of research on didactics, learning and teaching.
