Collaboration at Centre for Discipline-based education research
The goal of MINT is to support and provide opportunities for conducting disciplines-based education research (DBER) and and their implementation in practice with all disciplines within the Faculty of Science and Technology. The centre aims to promote and coordinate DBER and thereby contribute to developing an excellent educational environment at the university.
What can MINT do to help?
The Centre can offer several types of support. The most common type is counselling. MINT can also offer access to various resources, inspiration and support for pedagogical projects.
However, MINT can no longer award scholarships or grants for research, conference travel, etc.
Guide for new researchers
The National HE STEM Programme in the UK has published a guide for those who are new to education research within science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
Research overview
A 2012 report from the US National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine provides a good overview of DBER and its significance for science and engineering education.
Ethical review
The handling of personal data is a common occurrence in educational research (in Swedish).
