Research Centre Centre for Research on Problem-oriented Project Learning

RUC-PPL is an interdisciplinary research centre focused on problem-oriented project learning (PPL), inquiry- and problem-based educational approaches, pedagogical philosophy, university pedagogy, practice, policy, and history. The centre was established in 2018 and brings together researchers and research interests across RUC's departments.

Current research interests include problem- and inquiry-based university pedagogy: concepts, theories, practices, curriculum design; PPL and digital (learning) technologies; group work and collaborative learning in universities; critical and transformative university pedagogy in theory and practice; Higher Education policy and practice.

The aim of RUC-PPL is to contribute to the understanding, development, and critique of Roskilde University’s pedagogy and educational profile, as well as to relevant and related international university pedagogical research. The research centre conducts independent research driven by its members' interests and offers a research community for externally funded projects and researchers, including periodically affiliated external researchers.
