Between 2020 and 2024, a team of 10 staff members from LUP, led by CCL, took part in the research project ‘Bridging the gaps in teacher education and schools through interdisciplinary work’ (BRIDGES) in collaboration with colleagues at the University of South-Eastern Norway (USN) and the University of Tromsø (UiT).
BRIDGES aimed to develop new research-based knowledge and practices for teacher education to support the training of teachers, enabling them to better implement the new interdisciplinary themes introduced in Norway’s new curriculum in 2020. Interdisciplinarity in teacher education is the central focus, emphasising the importance of teacher education remaining at the forefront of progressive and hopeful changes in schools.
Collaboration builds bridges
The results of this work and the findings from the research show that interdisciplinary work is crucial in a rapidly changing educational landscape and a future full of uncertainty. In order to meet the societal and political challenges we face, there is a need to collaborate across different disciplines. Such collaboration can bridge the gaps between what is promoted at national level and what is taught in schools.
Staff from INN have contributed to 6 chapters in this book.
