Educational research is widely believed to be essentially empirical, consisting mainly of collecting and analysing data, with randomised control trials as the 'gold standard'. This book argues that good educational research is often philosophical in nature. Offering a critical overview of the current state of educational research, the authors argue that there are two factors in particular that distort it. One is that throughout the world it is expected to serve the interests of the state in securing educational improvements, as measured by standardised examination results, and to demonstrate 'scientific' credentials sufficient to guarantee absence of ideological bias and carry conviction. The other is that learning to do educational research is generally seen as a matter of being trained in empirical 'research methods'. The authors demonstrate, by contrast, that good educational research needs the rigorous thinking characteristic of philosophy, and that philosophical treatments themselves sometimes constitute such research.

Weaving Narrative Nets to Capture Classrooms blends theory and practice in considering qualitative research in education. This book seeks to find an appropriate balance between deep, thoughtful consideration of issues related to qualitative research in education - methods, stances and standards - and practical 'how to' advice for beginning researchers. The author uses a particular research study he has conducted as an example of the issues addressed and the decisions made in qualitative research. This study includes 'School Stories': a compelling, 56 page, research-based 'novel' of classroom life reflecting on a year in the life of a group of teachers and students. This book is of interest to graduate students and faculty in educational research. Teachers who are inquiring into their own educational beliefs and practices in disciplined ways, often as part of a graduate degree, and those who supervise and support them, will find valuable, practical advice on conducting and writing research. The book raises questions to be addressed and issues for reflection, rather than making prescriptions.

This book poses and ultimately answers the question of whether the public schools would have been affected if no educational research had been conducted during this century. To answer this question, 12 genres of educational research are evaluated. The genres are accompanied by non-technical, annotated synopses examples of each. A case is made that the science of education as a whole is repetitive, non-cumulative, and is characterized by a circular rather than a linear trajectory. -- Provided by publisher.

Today’s global policy climate underlines the importance of better addressing non-economic dimensions of well-being and social progress such as health, social engagement, political interest and crime. Education plays an important role in shaping indicators of progress. However, we understand little about the causal effects, the causal pathways, the role of contexts and the relative impacts that different educational interventions have on social outcomes. This report addresses challenges in assessing the social outcomes of learning by providing a synthesis of the existing evidence, original data analyses and policy discussions. The report finds that education has the potential to promote health as well as civic and social engagement. Education may reduce inequalities by fostering cognitive, social and emotional skills and promoting healthy lifestyles, participatory practices and norms. These efforts are most likely to be successful when family and community environments are aligned with the efforts made in educational institutions. This calls for ensuring policy coherence across sectors and stages of education.

Les travaux du séminaire international font le point sur les diverses temporalités qui structurent les processus de recherche dans le champ des didactiques disciplinaires. Le cadrage de ce questionnement est assuré par le texte de François Audigier « Temps subi, Temps construit ». Les contributions qui suivent ont été regroupées autour de trois thèmes : - les variations des indicateurs et des critères durant une recherche « longue » ; - la gestion des échelles de temps adoptées ; - l’articulation des temporalités d’ordre différent dans l’analyse des phénomènes didactiques. Trois textes de synthèse apportent le regard de chercheurs reconnus dans trois didactiques différentes : Jean-Louis Martinand, Yves Reuter, Aline Robert. L’intérêt de cet ouvrage tient à l’originalité des questions abordées, au croisement des points de vue qu’il permet, à l’explicitation et à la confrontation des cadres théoriques et des décisions d’ordre méthodologique dans diverses didactiques. Il s’adresse non seulement aux chercheurs de ces domaines, mais plus largement à ceux des sciences humaines, ainsi qu’aux formateurs et aux étudiants inscrits dans des parcours de recherche ou visant les métiers d’enseignement. Cet ouvrage s’inscrit dans la continuité de la réflexion entamée en 2005 autour des méthodes de recherche en didactiques et fait ainsi suite au premier ouvrage Les méthodes de recherche en didactiques paru en 2006 aux Presses Universitaires du Septentrion.

For tertiary education research, the transfer of science into practice - and back - is a fundamental issue. What needs to be specified, however, is what kind of practice is involved, what conceptual understanding underlies transfer and under what conditions, objectives and success criteria transfer is considered. This volume brings together various contributions to describe the conditions for success, models and sustainability of transfer in the field of education. Researchers from higher education didactics, teacher training and further education and school development look at the topic together from their different perspectives. The contributions stem from an interdisciplinary conference for young researchers on the topic of practice transfer in tertiary educational research at the University of Hamburg in November 2017.

Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les diverses dimensions implicites ou impensées qui participent de toute recherche à l'insu même des chercheurs. Issu d'un séminaire international, plus précisément consacré aux recherches en didactiques, autour de trois thèmes : - questionner les implicites dans les choix de constitution des corpus ; - questionner les implicites liés aux cadres théoriques ; - questionner les implicites liés aux choix méthodologiques et épistémologiques ; complétés par trois textes de synthèse. Il intéressera, en raison de l'importance des problèmes qu'il soulève, aussi bien les chercheurs en sciences humaines que les formateurs et les étudiants qui sont tenus d'aborder les questions de méthode au sein de leur cursus. Il s’inscrit dans la continuité de la réflexion entamée en 2005 autour des méthodes de recherche en didactiques et fait ainsi suite aux deux premiers livres : Les méthodes de recherche en didactiques vol. 1 et Les méthodes de recherche en didactiques : questions de temporalité vol. 2, parus en 2006 et 2007 aux Presses Universitaires du Septentrion.

Les enseignants ont vu les conditions d'exercice de leur métier se modifier profondément au cours des dernières décennies. Confrontés à des élèves qui sont parfois peu en phase avec les exigences et les codes de l'école, à des classes toujours plus hétérogènes, à un élargissement croissant des missions qui leur sont confiées, les enseignants sont plus que jamais au coeur des préoccupations de ceux qui, dans notre société, accordent une importance fondamentale à l'éducation. Cet ouvrage tente d'éclairer un moment décisif dans la carrière des enseignants, celui de leur formation initiale. Il recueille des contributions d'enseignants-chercheurs qui interviennent dans la formation professionnelle de futurs enseignants, et qui présentent leurs recherches ou celles qui se font dans leur domaine. Ils donnent à voir l'usage qu'ils en font lors de leur intervention auprès d'étudiants qui se destinent au métier d'enseignant. Ils montrent ainsi comment des apports scientifiques peuvent permettrent de résoudre un certain nombre de problèmes professionnels ou de les reformuler afin de trouver des solutions qui peinaient à émerger dans les termes dans lesquels ces problèmes étaient posés précédemment. Ils montrent aussi comment, en permettant aux futurs enseignants de s'approprier les méthodes utilisées pour conduire des recherches, ils peuvent les aider à mettre de l'ordre dans les questions qu'ils se posent ou encore à clarifier et problématiser les malaises qu'ils ressentent et qui peuvent parfois les submerger.
