Innovative Learning

A creative pioneer in the development of working life-orientated pedagogy

Innovative learning aims at building future competence, which can be reformed and refined into competitiveness by developing sustainable solutions for learning and renewal. In our focus areas, we implement versatile and multidisciplinary education, service, development and research activities.

We support the renewal of the competence of companies and other organizations and the growth of competitiveness through various education and development services both in Finland and abroad. We train experts in the field of education and develop education and training. Top expertise builds world champions.

At the core of JAMK expertise lie high-quality teacher education and strong business competence. When planning our education and expert services, we utilise research data within the field and the diverse expertise from other JAMK fields of education as well. In our activities, we use pedagogical design and digital environments. Jamk is an internationally audited and accredited university of applied sciences esteemed by the working life.

The research in Innovative learning at Jamk arises from the transformation of working life and the development of digital technology. They are shaking up the entire field of education – including the ways of learning, learner's actions, the teacher's role, pedagogy, learning environments, educational structures and competence management.
