Conference Theme & Research Context
What are educational achievements? What institutional, structural, individual, or spatial factors decide on educational success? And how do they interact in the process of constructing learning outcomes? CLEAR’s Final Conference addresses issues that young people face during their life courses. Since low achievements, mainly reported among groups in multi-disadvantaged positions, have a massive impact on life quality and prospects of learners, we examine how intersectional factors and issues of Spatial Justice interact at local/regional levels to produce different learning outcomes. Our analyses are also informed by the results of participatory actions that have provided us with expert knowledge of national/regional policymakers and local practitioners and helped us to develop a more holistic and reflexive approach to education.
The CLEAR Research Project
The European research project Constructing Learning Outcomes in Europe: a multi-level analysis of (under)achievement in the life course (CLEAR) is conducted with 13 partners in eight EU-member countries—Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain. Designed as a multi-level, mixed-method study with transversal participatory elements, it seeks to examine the combination of multiple factors that shape learning outcomes and affect their quality.
