Area of interests: Human, Social and Political Sciences, and Law
Are you interested in human beings and society? How we function individually and together, what drives us, our learning processes, how rules and laws have been established, and how we interact with each other? If that is the case we have a lot to offer. This area of interest covers anything from Pedagogy, Psychology and Gender Studies, to Statistics, Political Science, Law and many other subjects. Their common denominator is the relation between human beings and society, independent analytical thinking and often an international perspective.
Subject
Studies in School-Age Educare
Pedagogy for school-age childcare deals with children’s social development, liberal/popular education and learning in relation to activities in school-age childcare. This area has developed in interaction between school and after-school/school-age childcare practices to create meaningful contexts for the child throughout the day. The field of knowledge of leisure pedagogy is largely informal learning that can be planned, but just as often about taking advantage of learning and development opportunities arising from children’s play and interaction.
