MANIFESTO FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND TEACHING INNOVATION
The purpose of a scientific society is to build and disseminate knowledge in its field of study. SIRD, a scientific society that brings together university professors and experts who carry out research in the educational and didactic field, carries out this task within its own field of investigation, which is that of the macro sector 11/D2: “Didactics, special pedagogy and educational research” (Methodologies of Teaching and Educational Research).
To better define this task and contextualize it in a perspective of change and innovation of the education and training system, in 2013, a MANIFESTO FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND TEACHING INNOVATION was developed and published in the Italian Journal of Educational Research (n.10/2013), in the form of an editorial,
All those interested in the topics of educational research and didactic innovation are invited to read and spread the Manifesto both to know more accurately the peculiarities of SIRD and to identify the areas in which research can contribute to improve and qualify policies in the educational field.
