EDUCERI. EDUCERI. EDUCERI › Connecting How we Learn to Educational Practice and Policy: Research Evidence and Implications International Conference 23-24 January 2012 This was a joint United States, National Science Foundation (NSF) and OECD Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) conference. This conference enabled an international group of scientists from many disciplines to share their findings and ideas in an interactive forum that includes educational practitioners and policy-makers. Scientists representing different disciplines—education, psychology, neuroscience, computer science—do not attend the same meetings, nor publish their findings in the same kinds of scientific journals.
However, there is increasing interest in connecting a broad array of scientists and practitioners at an international level, because individual countries have made significant progress in developing educational approaches that are highly successful. . The conference objectives were: Workshop documents. Education Today 2013 - Books. Announcements - Pearson to develop frameworks for OECD's PISA student assessment for 2015.
