Centre for Applied Epistemology
The Research Centre for Applied Epistemology is geared towards
exploring epistemological, sociological, macro- and micro-social,
communication, and pedagogical aspects of knowledge. Some of
the most important research projects in this field are considered to
be the international research studies (in the field of knowledge)
coordinated by the following international centres: International
Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement – the IEA
(TIMSS, PIRLS, CivED/ICCS, SITES/ICILS), Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development – the OECD (TALIS, PISA), and
European Commission – the EC (ESLC). The Centre is divided into
three departments: the Department of IEA Studies, the Department
of OECD and EU Studies, and the Department of Curricular Analyses
and Knowledge Theories. Within the framework of the Educational
Research Institute (and of the whole of Slovenia), the Centre
coordinates the aforementioned international comparative research
studies conducted by the IEA and by the OECD, through its own
national coordination centres set up for this purpose. Analyses of
the development of educational policies also represent an
important scope of action of the Centre. In terms of content, the
research of the members of the Centre for Applied Epistemology
can be divided into the following contextual groups:
