Ulrich Dettweiler

Ulrich Dettweiler is a Professor of Pedagogy at the University of South-East Norway, affiliated with the Faculty of Educational Sciences and Humanities and the National Center for Learning Environment and Behavioral Research. He currently leads the Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience Lab. His research focuses on outdoor learning, environmental impacts on learning, physiological processes in education, research methodology, and Bayesian statistics.

He teaches Practical Pedagogy (PPU) courses and contributes to PhD programs in Applied Statistics, Research Design, Research Ethics, and Philosophy of Science. His work emphasizes evidence-based educational practices and innovative teaching methods, particularly in non-traditional settings like outdoor environments.

Key research themes include the interplay between physical activity, stress regulation, and cognitive development in children, as well as methodological advancements in analyzing educational data. He has examined the role of outdoor education in promoting inclusion for immigrant students and enhancing 21st-century skills.

Publications highlight methodological rigor, with a focus on structural equation modeling and Bayesian approaches. Collaborative projects include studies on tunnel fire safety training and the physiological effects of sedentary behavior in schools.

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts, but his extensive publication record reflects significant contributions to educational and behavioral sciences. His advising and grant activities are not detailed here, but his lab’s work suggests involvement in interdisciplinary research funding.

Ulrich Dettweiler’s research, teaching, and leadership in outdoor and evidence-based pedagogy drive innovation in both educational practices and scientific inquiry.
