About

At Pedagogy in Practice, Karel de Grote University of Applied Sciences and Arts, we are dedicated to practice oriented research in ECEC, in out-of-school care, in leisure time organisations for children and in school processes such as children's councils. We have a tradition in participatory research with professionals but also in quantifying information about organisational issues in the aforementioned contexts.
