The Institut National de Recherche Pedagogique (INRP) has continuing responsibility
for educational research in France. It is a national institution with an explicit
mission to co-ordinate French research in education and a special commitment
to supporting research among practitioners. It is currently organised as a
network of mixed teams, associating INRP, Universities and Grandes Ecoles
preparing teachers for higher education. This network addresses a wide range
of issues, from ICT to history and sociology of education, including fields
like didactics of science and history of education. INRP operates on a networked
basis, the centre of which is Lyon.
The French team at INRP are interested in strengthen co-operation with other
national programmes in order to gain insight into transversal questions such
as:
Career development for junior researchers in education
Links between research and practice
Comparison of methodologies
New modes of teacher education (notably case-based education, usage
of portfolios*)
Language issues in disseminating research
Several thematic fields will be considered for nurturing common reflection, including use of ICT for learning and science education (especially in secondary schools). The contribution of INRP will mainly involve teams with an international recognition in both fields (ICT and didactics of science), as well as the department in charge of keeping up with scientific and technological innovations. Regarding ICT, teams work both on the development of learning environments and on the analysis of ICT usage in schools and higher education (notably teacher education and training). The network will comprise teams involved in fundamental work and in applied research aiming at producing resources for researchers and practitioners.
INRP is a national institution with an explicit mission to co-ordinate French research in education and a special commitment for valorising research among practitioners. It is currently organised as a network of mixed teams, associating INRP, Universities and Grandes Ecoles preparing teachers for higher education. This network addresses a wide range of issues, from ICT to history and sociology of education, including fields like didactics of science and history of education.
INRP operates on a networked basis, the centre of which is Lyon. The different teams currently involved in that network are affiliated for short or middle term periods (2 to 4 years). They undergo regular evaluation procedures. For the proposed collaboration 7 teams will be associated. Since the life span of teams varies between 2 to 4 years, INRP participation will be organised in two stages.
