Disciplinary literacy and inclusive teaching
inclusive teaching
The research programme Disciplinary literacy and inclusive teaching (LIT) explores the multidimensional nature of language in teaching and learning processes. The aim is to gain a better understanding of the development of literacy in science, mathematics, social sciences, and academic levels through the study of schools, in which teachers, students, and learning materials interact.
It seems most productive to build disciplinary literacy instructional programs, rather than to merely employ language perspectives on teaching.
Anders Jakobsson, Director
Our research
We live in an increasingly multilingual and multicultural society which affects education at all levels. The programme, therefore, aims to contribute to a deepened understanding and development of theory on the crucial role of language in learning for all students.
It also aims to contribute to improved quality of education in different subject areas by providing practical insights for teachers and university educators on literacy demands and how these can be addressed to enhance the learning processes for all students.
The programme is divided into 8 interrelated sub-studies:
The first lays out the conceptual and descriptive foundation for the other sub-studies. In this sub-study, all participating researchers collaborate.
Scientific literacy
What kind of literacy activities in science classrooms may offer prerequisites for inclusive education in multilingual contexts?
Mathematic literacy
How contemporary mathematics education reflects changes in society, migration, and globalization.
Social science literacy
Investigates students’ writing skills in language-focused situations in relation to the development of students’ reasoning in the social sciences.
Language, literacy, and multilingualism
Literacy and language challenges in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms. The projects focus on language education or literacy perspectives in different subject areas.
Academic literacy
Focus on academic literacy for multilingual students in higher education within teacher education and social work.
Digital literacy
Investigates digital literacy including classroom applications and language-supporting tools in different subject areas.
Climate literacy
Focus on climate communication and climate change discourses in different social and educational contexts.
Researchers, publications and research projects
Within the programme, several researchers from different disciplines collaborate, including Pedagogy, Subject didactics, Educational science and Computer sciences.
