Pedagogy, Education, Praxis - PEP
Short description
This network collaborates around issues concerning pedagogy and education and strive for a conversation between the Anglo-Saxon and continental traditions in these matters. Parallell empirical projects are conducted in the different countries to give information for discussions and publications.
Presentation of the project
This network is principally organised around a program of parallel cross-national empirical projects in four main areas, such as Leading and Learning; Education for all; Action Research and Bildung and Education.
The network brings proven capability, expertise and synergies to a program of research on the development of educational practice. In doing so, it contributes (a) to an emerging literature of research in practice theory, and (b) focuses the practice theory research program squarely on the development of educational/pedagogical practice.
The network plans to meet once a year to exchange findings but also to participate in international conferences, invite other researchers interested in the work and provide critical review of the work. So far the network has been productive. In a series of interconnected studies, they have been comparing and contrasting the contemporary conditions of educational practice, and the conditions for the development of educational practice in the Nordic countries, the Netherlands and Australia.
