About the research group Research in Education & Movement culture
The research group for Research in Education & Movement Culture, REMO, is an interdisciplinary research group.
Purpose
The activities in the research group are conducted in line with GIH's research profile "People in Motion" from a salutogenic perspective of health. The group constitutes a collegial context working together to strengthen the department's research environment in order to deepen the quality and increase the scope of the research.
The group supports education and professional development, organizes research seminars, and continuously reviews the quality of research and research applications. We also lead a number of externally funded projects, collaborate with several actors in society and are active in three national graduate schools for Ph.D. students.
Research questions
REMO is an interdisciplinary research group conducting research within the humanities and social sciences in a number of areas, such as organized sports, physical education, health education, sustainable movement education, and teacher education. The research questions and scientific methods used are drawn from sports science, sports pedagogy, didactics, educational history, sports history, sport management, movement culture, and educational sciences.
Research themes
The research in the research group is divided into four themes.
The theme of sports culture concerns research on the culture and organisation of sport, and includes areas such as communication, governance, professionalisation and commercialisation.
Principal Investigator
The theme of physical education includes research on the knowledge, teaching and learning in and about different movement practices, such as ball games, outdoor recreation, gymnastics, and athletics, as well as movement and dance.

The theme of sports pedagogy is about research on education, learning, socialization and influence in sports contexts, with a particular focus on children's, young people's and adults' opportunities to have influence over their sports participation.
Principal Investigator
The theme of educational sciences includes research on teaching, learning, content, the teaching profession and institutional, cultural and social factors that affect education in various ways
