- Stakeholders from education administration and education policy

- Anthony Mann, Senior Policy Analyst at the OECD:
Teenage career development: what can we learn from PISA 2022
Thematic Focal Points
The topics of the conference will focus in particular on the following questions:
- How can scientific findings guide action in schools, e.g. through guidelines such as the Gatsby Benchmarks?
- Which institutional framework conditions promote or hinder the transfer between science and practice? What contribution can education policy and administration make to improving the transfer of practice?
- What role do networks between actors from science, educational practice and educational administration play?
- Which research approaches are suitable for promoting the transfer of practice and to what extent?
- How can educational practitioners be effectively involved in research?
- What role do the competences of the actors involved (especially teachers and careers advisors) play in school practice and how can these competences be improved?
References to the thematic working groups of Career Lead – Digitalisation, Heterogeneity, Sustainable development – are desired.
In addition to contributions from a theoretical-conceptual or empirical perspective, the presentation of projects that focus on practice transfer is also welcome.
