Education is concerned with upbringing, formation, education, learning, teaching and other formal and informal processes through which people are formed and change in different social and institutional contexts, such as preschools, schools, family, leisure time and work life.
Questions such as how and why different forms of values, knowledge and skills come into being, how these are maintained and changed within and between generations, groups and individuals, are investigated.
Areas of research include, for example, how and why different forms of values, knowledge and skills arise, are maintained and change among and between generations, groups and individuals.
