The scope of research in the Faculty of Education is wide-ranging. Our faculty are leading research experts in their field, and continue to find innovative ways to learn, teach and research.

Behavioural Medicine Lab (BMED)

Behavioural Medicine (BMED) is a research lab within the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education. Their mission is to produce and disseminate innovative and population-relevant physical activity and health research of the highest calibre within an environment that fosters collaboration, community, pride, and life balance.

NEȾOLṈEW̱

NEȾOLṈEW̱ ‘one mind, one people’ is a community-university research partnership between the Department of Indigenous Education at UVIC and nine Indigenous Partner communities across Canada. We work to understand and enhance Indigenous adults’ contributions to reviving Indigenous languages in Canada. Our research is supported by a SSHRC Partnership Grant.

Digital Health Lab

The Digital Health Lab is a research lab within the School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education. The mission of the lab is to leverage innovative digital communication technology (e.g. Internet, mobile phones, social media) to promote physical activity, prevent chronic disease, and improve people’s health and well-being.

Neuroeconomics Lab

The principal focus of Neuroeconomics Laboratory is the study of neuroeconomics (an integration of the principles of neuroscience, psychology, and economic theory). The lab uses neuroimaging techniques such as electroencephalography and functional magnetic resonance imaging in conjunction with computational modelling to improve our understanding of the neural processes and computations that underlie human learning and decision making.

Rehabilitation Neuroscience Lab

The main focus of the Rehabilitation Neuroscience Laboratory is to develop, disseminate, and apply knowledge of basic and clinical neuroscience to rehabilitation of limb movement after neurotrauma. All projects are designed to answer both basic research questions and also to lead into applied studies with rehabilitative applications in different pathologies.

Technology Integration and Evaluation Lab (TIE)

The purpose of the TIE Lab is to strengthen research excellence regarding the appropriate use of networked and computer‐mediated technologies for enhanced communication, learning, and motivation across educational, professional, and health sectors. The TIE lab provides state‐of‐the‐art Infrastructure for systematically researching optimal e‐learning conditions, tools, processes and products.
