University of North Texas

Shape the future of teaching and learning in and out of school. Doctoral students in the Learning Sciences will develop an understanding of learning in multiple contexts (in and out of school) and the role of institutional arrangements that shape learning and development toward the goal of revisioning/reimagining/redesigning learning environments. Doctoral students will explore developing research agendas and designs in partnership with children, youth, families, educators, informal institutions, and schools and districts. Designs for learning and the study of learning will be deeply embedded within existing and emerging theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches and geared towards supporting graduates to create meaningful change for learners and families. Graduates will be prepared to contribute to the community-based design of learning opportunities including in settings like schools, museums, and community centers.
