Current Activities

As in the three previous ECER, a template, elaborated by network organizers, to collect every attendant´s address was used for every session. A list has been made up with collected data and will be sent to each attendant who wrote his/her email address. The purpose of such list is to facilitate mutual interrelationship and possible personal and academic collaboration or participative research

A publication of papers of ECER 2010-2011 is being prepared with papers that will be sent to network organizers. Publication, with the appropriate ISBN registration, will the then given to every author.

Future Plans

Attendants at the network meeting were informed that publication of papers presented at ECER 2010 and 2011 are planned and being prepared. These attendants received a document that was sent to all presenters in order to inform them of the purpose of the mentioned publication and to suggest some guidelines for them to prepare the text to be published. Every text to be published shall be sent by email to the network secretary on electronic support and with a specified format.

Once papers are received, publication will be prepared (if possibly as a print publication; if not on CD) and registered with an ISBN code. This publication will be given to every author attending the next ECER 2012 or sent to those who will not attend.

Attendants of the network meeting were also informed that network organizers published information on ECER and our network on the address www.uned.es/masteretd. Links to useful information and to other platforms could also be inserted here.

Organisation of a research group on “Leadership and Its Impact on Quality of Education” was offered at the network meeting The participant team is being organized with the purpose of collaboratively working on such project research and, perhaps, offering some results at the next ECER 2012 to be held in Cadiz (Spain).
