"Theory without practice is useless. Practice without theory is blind."

AT THE MOMENT, THERE ARE TWO RESEARCH PROJECTS CONNECTED TO THE OSDE METHODOLOGY:

1. INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

This involves a network of educators and academics in 8 countries. It aims to examine the learning processes the OSDE methodology can prompt in different contexts. Each partner is piloting the methodology for 10 hours with groups in their contexts and using the same research methodology for data-collection.

This research project is being carried out from 2005 to 2009 and is open to new members. If you wish to take part in it, please follow the instructions in the RESEARCH INTRODUCTORY ACTIVITY available for download here.

2. RESEARCH ON DISCOURSES AND PRACTICES RELATED TO THE 'GLOBAL DIMENSION' IN ENGLAND (by Vanessa Andreotti)
