Contribution
The paper focuses upon how comparative research is carried out and referred to in past ECERs. In so doing it presents a further step of an empirical investigation first results of which have been presented at ECER 2008 in Gothenburg. Now it especially focuses on methods and research instruments preferably mentioned in ECER proposals in comparison to the authors’ institutional background. It asks whether the national (institutional) affiliation of authors is related to the way of how (comparative) research is carried out. Comparative research is of special interest in view of an emerging European and international educational research area, because one could assume that the topics and the ways how educational (comparative) research is done vary according to cultural and national contexts. To know more about the structured diversity of educational research, research results and research cultures could be an important contribution to discussing research quality and to improving self-governance of sciences of education.
