Development and Dynamics of Change of a Heterogenious Field in the Social Sciences Using the Example of Educational Research

In cooperation with the German Institute for International Educational Research (DIPF), GESIS – Leibniz-Institute for the Social Sciences and the Leibniz-Institute for Psychology Information (ZPID) the development of Educational Research against the backdrop of a growing importance in the political discussion accompanied by an increased funding was studied. In addition to issues of research projects and their funding, characteristics of research communication and the reception of research results were taken into account. The findings of the project were published as a monograph and can be accessed online:
