TRANSFO 04 - Bringing real-life practice into digital education research

Senior researcher at Pedagogy in Practice, Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts

About

We are looking for partners for Horizon Europe (digital tools, education & mental health) - call TRANSFO 04

KdG’s Research Centre Pedagogy in Practice is strong in connecting research with real-life practice. Too often, insights on digital media and digital media education remain abstract — limiting their implementation in educational and care settings.

We ensure that research is grounded in how children actually live, play, and communicate — in and beyond school. Problems are investigated collaboratively with professionals and responses (not: solutions) are designed and tested equally collaborative.

We contribute:

  • participatory, practice-based research with children, families, and professionals

  • access to diverse, real-world settings (ECEC, leisure, urban contexts)

  • expertise in translating research into concrete tools, practices, and policy-relevant outcomes

Looking to strengthen your consortium with strong practice grounding and implementation focus?
Let’s connect.
