Educational Research in Argentina

On the occasion of the 2016 Congress of the German Educational Research Association (DGfE / GERA), the portal Education Worldwide presents the following web dossier on educational research in Argentina. You can read on the homepage of the congress that "For the first time in 52 years of DGfE history the congress will have a partner country". The exchange between Argentinian and German educational researchers will focus on the theme of the congress, "Räume für Bildung. Räume der Bildung" (Rooms for education. Spaces of education), and the issue of inclusion.

For those who want to get a general idea of the history of educational research in Argentina, we suggest the reading of...

... "The steering of educational policy research in neoliberal times: the case of Argentina" by Gorostiaga et al. in the World Yearbook of Education 2006. Furthermore, for those who read Spanish, a good overview can also be found in Morales/Southwell (2014) "La investigación educativa en México y Argentina". You will find the links to these articles and more literature in our section "Research History, Themes and Trends".

With regard to the two main topics of exchange between researchers at the congress mentioned above, please also check our link suggestions in the section "Room and space within educational science" of the German Journal for Pedagogy (Zeitschrift für Pädagogik) 01/2016 as well as our small web dossier on "Space and Architecture in an Educational Context", with literature from francophone, lusophone and hispanophone countries (including Argentina). We also provide a small section on Inclusion in Argentina.

For those who read German, we are happy to provide online access to the article "Das Bildungssystem Argentiniens" (Argentina's education system) by Verónica Oelsner (2015), by courtesy of the publisher. The article gives a good introduction to the topic.

Our web dossier is divided into different sections and provides links to websites of institutions, journals, conferences and more. Please note that most of the websites from Argentina are in Spanish without an English version. In the abstract below the title link, we provide a short summary of the most important features of the website. Please do not hesitate to take a look at the detailed information of a link (click on [more] under the respective abstract). They offer valuable additional information and links, for example to fulltexts on the respective website (example).

We wish you a good time browsing these resources!
