The SupportUNI research group investigates how pedagogical approaches can support the learning of students in higher education, including those studying at universities and universities of applied sciences. The research focuses on students, staff, and higher education culture. The project’s principal investigators are affiliated with the University of Eastern Finland (UEF), the University of Lapland, and the Rehabilitation Foundation. The study will be conducted over several years using a variety of cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs and both quantitative (learning analytics and surveys) and qualitative (interviews and surveys) methods.
