The Summer School, organised by the Eurasian Society of Educational Research (E-SER) will take place from 23rd until 27th June 2025 and provides an opportunity for PhD students engaged in educational science research to learn from experts and their peers. Students will participate in workshops led by experts, centered around aspects of research in educational science.

    • Data collection (surveys, experiments, etc) and data analysis (statistical analysis, quantifying subjective data, common flaws, etc.)
  • Qualitative Research Methods
    • ​​​​​​Data collection (interviews, focus groups, think aloud etc.) and interpretative analysis of the data within different research methodologies (Grounded Theory, Phenomenology, Phenomenography, Case study, etc.)
  • Mixed Methods
    • An emergent methodology of research that advances the systematic integration of quantitative and qualitative data within a single investigation.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the educational science community and to present their current research and receive feedback from other students and experts.
