International Perspectives on School Settings, Education

A Transatlantic Discourse in Education Research Since 2015, the Office for International Cooperation in Education at DIPF | Leibniz Institute for Research and Information in Education has organized international sessions on education research at the Annual Meetings of the American Educational Research Association, thus providing a floor for transatlantic exchange on current research topics. The volume gives an overview of the transatlantic activities in education research with regard to these sessions. The sessions have broadened the scope for national debates and highlighted international similarities, leading to an awareness of and interest in national research characteristics and boundaries of national perspectives.
