Research, experimentation and development activities

Research, experimentation and development constitute an important part of teacher training school operations. A working group coordinating research, experimentation and development activities operates in both teacher training schools. Teachers of the teacher training schools are encouraged to conduct research as well as carry out various development and experimentation projects.
Novissima – Online publication

Research, experimentation and development activities are an important strategic focus area for the teacher training schools, whose profile will be raised further in the teacher training schools of the University of Helsinki.

, an online publication focused on the topic published by the University of Helsinki’s Helsinki Normal Lyceum and the Viikki Teacher Training School also relates to this goal. The publication’s content is composed of both material based on actual academic research and the presentation of practical teaching experiments. The publication offers teachers the opportunity to introduce their pedagogical development efforts, including various teaching experiments, independently produced teaching materials or other research projects. The publication is a practical forum for sharing your expertise with other teachers as well as inspiring others to conduct research, experimentation and development activities. With its content open to all, the publication also serves as a window to the academic teacher training schools of the University of Helsinki. Hopefully, it will contribute to making research, experimentation and development an increasingly integral part of everyday life in the schools.

and serve as research, experimentation and development coordinators for the Viikki Teacher Training School and the Helsinki Normal Lyceum.
