Scope of the research unit
Members of FORE study, in an articulated way, education or training policies and practices (from pre-school to university). Work done at GIRSEF (the interfaculty research group on education and training systems)-- in collaboration with sociologists and econimists -- consists of evaluating educational systems as well as of the diverse mechanisms that regulate them. Within GRIFED (the interdisciplinary group of research in teacher education and didactics), research relates to the methods used to assess pupils within classrooms and teachers' initial training schemes. In these two groups, in collaboration with the university Chair of higher education, various works on higher education are developed.
