Organisation profile

Organisation profile

Vi udforsker, udvikler og udvider forståelsen af professioner, professionsuddannelser og forbindelserne derimellem.

Forskningscenteret har professionsforskning som afgrænset forskningsfelt og en ambition om at udgøre et nationalt kraftcenter for forskning, som virker med forandringskraft på samtidsudfordringer relateret til professioner og professionel praksis. 

Forsknings- og udviklingsaktiviteterne er organiseret i fire programmer med hver deres forskningsprofil. Disse er:

  • Forskningsprogram for professionsuddannelse og professionel tilblivelse
  • Forskningsprogram for professionsdidaktik og professionel vejledning
  • Forskningsprogram for transformationer i professioner og uddannelser
  • Forskningsprogram for viden og værdier i professionel praksis

Samlet set tager forskningen afsæt i professionernes aktuelle tilstande og udfordringer og frembringer viden om kundskab og værdibasering i professionel praksis, studerendes og professionsudøveres professionelle udvikling i lyset heraf. Vi undersøger, hvordan uddannelser og undervisning kan bidrage hertil didaktisk og gennem professionel vejledning – med det formål at forandre og forbedre både uddannelser og professioner med henblik på den samfundsmæssige fremtid. 

Vores forskning er tværdisciplinær og henter både viden og metoder fra forskellige videnskabsteoretiske og metodologiske felter. 

Organisation profile

We explore, develop, and expand the understanding of professions, professional education, and the connections between them.

The research center focuses on professional studies as a distinct field of research, with the ambition of becoming a national hub for research that generates transformative impacts on contemporary challenges related to professions and professional practice.

Our research and development activities are organized into four programs, each with its own research profile. These are:

  • Research Program for Professional Education and Professional Development
  • Research Program for Professional Teaching and Guidance
  • Research Program for Transformations in Professions and Education
  • Research Program for Knowledge and Values in Professional Practice

Collectively, our research addresses the current conditions and challenges of professions and generates knowledge about expertise and value-based practices in professional work, as well as the professional development of students and practitioners in this context. We also explore how education can contribute to this development through teaching, learning and and professional guidance, with the aim of transforming and improving both professional education and practice in anticipation of future societal needs.

Our research is interdisciplinary, drawing on knowledge and methods from various theoretical and methodological fields.
