Abstract

This article seeks to reveal patterns of the discursive and interpretative culture of the European Educational Research Association (EERA) in an attempt to contribute directly to the discussion about the social and cultural integrity of the association. It looks beyond the network and community approaches of transnational research associations and suggests instead that the communicative aspects of the organisation should be considered. Within this framework the article aims to address the questions to what extent can EERA be considered as an intellectual home, and what motivates researchers to be engaged with EERA activities? In 2013 four group interviews and 26 semi-structured interviews were carried out in an effort to delineate what lends stability and intimacy to a broad European umbrella organisation. Respondents were asked to share their experiences with EERA and their reflection on their contribution to it. The data reveal that there is a delicate balance between activity and representation within the association and that there is a constant reflection on, as well as a desire towards, inclusiveness in terms of both ideas and colleagues. The data show that researchers enter EERA seeking their research identity and slowly realise that the only way to establish their belonging to the association is their constant contribution. It is possible to discern that a dynamic element — constant contribution in communication — gives EERA its integrity and intimacy.
人与思想的互动":记忆、创造意义与欧洲教育研究协会
本文试图揭示欧洲教育研究协会(EERA)的话语和解释文化模式,以直接推动关于该协会的社会和文化完整性的讨论。文章的视角超越了跨国研究协会的网络和社区方法,而是建议考虑该组织的交流方面。在这一框架内,文章旨在解决以下问题:在多大程度上可以将欧洲高等教育研究协会视为知识家园?2013 年,我们进行了四次小组访谈和 26 次半结构式访谈,旨在了解是什么赋予了一个广泛的欧洲伞式组织以稳定性和亲和力。受访者被要求分享他们在欧洲经济关系协会的经历,以及他们对自己为协会所做贡献的反思。数据显示,协会内部的活动和代表性之间保持着微妙的平衡,人们不断反思并渴望在思想和同事方面实现包容性。数据显示,研究人员进入欧洲高等教育研究协会是为了寻求自己的研究身份,他们慢慢意识到,只有不断做出贡献,才能确立自己在协会中的归属感。可以看出,一个动态因素--在交流中不断做出贡献--赋予了 EERA 完整性和亲和力。

期刊介绍: The European Educational Research Journal (EERJ) is a scientific journal interested in the changing landscape of education research across Europe. Education research increasingly crosses the borders of the national through its subjects of study, scholarly collaborations and references. The EERJ publishes education research papers and special issues which include a reflection on how the European context and other related global or regional dynamics shape their educational research topics. The European Educational Research Journal publishes double-blind peer-reviewed papers in special issues and as individual articles. The EERJ reviews submitted papers on the basis of the quality of their argument, the contemporary nature of their work, and the level of ''speaking'' to the European audience. Policy-makers, administrators and practitioners with an interest in European issues are now invited to subscribe. The EERJ publishes peer reviewed articles, essay reviews and research reports (forms of research intelligence across Europe)
