Successful Educational Research That Overcomes Inequalities

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

After more than two decades working on educational research that has been recognized internationally, CREA has laid the ground of scientific knowledge that contributes to overcome inequalities. This has been achieved through rigorous scientific work that joins together scientific excellence with the demands, concerns and everyday reality of schools and the broader society, tackling issues such as school success, vulnerable groups, gender violence and the methodology of research itself. The scientific achievements presented in this session not only entailed the creation of new scientific knowledge: they have achieved unprecedented social and political impact, as hundreds of schools and thousands of children in different contexts have improved their educational achievement, and have created egalitarian educational spaces free of violence.
