Research Group on Law Teaching and Learning
The research group addresses interdisciplinary issues related to legal education and the legal labor market, including the competencies demanded in practice. The research group contributes to the development of legal education and its didactics.
The researched issues cut across several research areas:
- Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and Learning Theory
- Sociology of knowledge
- Sociology of the legal profession
- Linguistics, and
- Science studies.
The group supports the ongoing research at the faculty in these areas and disseminates this research-based knowledge through publications, workshops, and continuing education programs for both members of faculty as well as external instructors in Denmark and abroad.
The establishment of the research group reflects an increased effort regarding pedagogical and didactic development of teaching at the Faculty of Law.
The research group is inspired by the paradigm of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Scholarship of Teaching and Learning advocates an integrated approach to teaching and research on teaching. Didactic research should ideally stems from the researchers’ own work as teachers. Accordingly, the research group’s work feeds into the teaching development and teacher training programs at the faculty.
The group collaborates with university teaching units at the University of Copenhagen and other national and international universities and research groups, especially within the areas of legal education, sociology of professions, higher education studies, sociology of knowledge, learning theory, and linguistics.
Researchers at the Faculty of Law, working with research or development projects of pedagogical or didactic nature, are very welcome to contact the research group for sparring.
