Jul 212014

The SAERA 2014 Conference takes place at the Southern Sun Elangeni Hotel in Durban from Wednesday, 13 August 2014 to Friday, 15 August 2014. The pre-conference workshops for research development will take place on Tuesday, 12 August 2014.

education2

The topic of the conference will be to investigate the current position of education research in South Africa, and looking ahead to the future directions that research may take. Education research in the past twenty years has relied on a variety of education policies and the carrying out of these policies. Research tends to be qualitative and small scale in nature, although a rising importance on the analysis of large achievement studies in teaching has been seen. SAERA envisages that the conference would provide a platform to reflect on the nature, the idea and the role of education studies at present, and to look forward to new methodological and theoretical trends in the area. The conference will connect with all contexts of research – Higher Education, Training and Further Education, adult education, informal education and schooling.
