Dudoc-alfa program
The Dudoc-alfa program is a joint initiative of Dutch universities funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, that offers teachers and teacher educators the opportunity, alongside their jobs in education, to carry out PhD research in the field of teaching methodology in the humanities for a period of four years. The program aims to boost research into teaching methodologies of humanities subjects. Its aims include strengthening the domain-specific component in the education of university-trained teachers; improving the quality of education in the alpha subjects in secondary education; contributing to the innovation of education in the alpha subjects; and strengthening the link between teachers’ teaching practice and academic research. With this thesis I hope to contribute to these important goals.
