Abstract

EDUNOVA.ISPA, a collaborative consortium between ISPA – Instituto Universitário, NOVA FCT, and NOVA FCSH, is dedicated to "Building Bridges in Education Research: From Learners to Systems, from Diversity to Inclusion," with a focus on two key scientific domains: Processes and Practices in Education (SD1) and Ideas, Policies, and Social Change in Education (SD2). Each domain comprises two thematic areas: Learning Contexts, Processes, and Literacies (TA1), and Teachers' Educational Knowledge and Professional Cultures (TA2) within SD1, and Education Systems and School Organization (TA3), and Diversity and Inclusion: Curriculum, Pedagogical Practices, and Assessment (TA4) within SD2. TA1 Learning Contexts, Processes, and Literacies involves research on learning environments, literacy acquisition, parental involvement, and new literacies. It explores student motivation, self-regulation learning strategies, training program effects on literacy acquisition, advancements in educational robotics, education in biodiversity, geodiversity, socio-scientific issues, and animal welfare. TA2 Teachers: Educational Knowledge and Professional Cultures focuses on enhancing understanding of teacher professionalism, teacher identity, digital pedagogy, and school organizational climate, with research topics including teachers' well-being, resilience, cross-country studies, and the effectiveness of using formative assessment and feedback. TA3 Education Systems and School Organization focuses on researching education systems, public policies, collaborative networks, and methods for promoting diversity and inclusion. Specific topics include refining data collection methods, developing innovative approaches for analyzing educational data, and exploring the effectiveness of pedagogical strategies in supporting migrant students' second language acquisition. TA4 Diversity and Inclusion: Curriculum, Pedagogical Practices, and Assessment focuses on addressing school inequalities, curricular and pedagogical differentiation, mechanisms of school segregation, and inclusive education policies and practices. Research aims to deepen understanding of teachers’ differentiated instruction practices, investigate migrant students’ sense of belonging, and explore school-level factors predicting academic achievement and grade retention. EDUNOVA.ISPA focuses on enhancing scientific research in education by bridging micro and macro approaches, integrating theory and practice, and navigating past legacies and future challenges. It employs a rigorous scientific protocol encompassing problem-focused research, conceptual clarity, empirical investigation, diverse methodologies, and comparative analysis. Committed to bolstering research, it actively pursues funding opportunities and prioritizes knowledge transfer through advanced training programs and dissemination via various channels, while intensifying international partnerships for collaborative research initiatives.
