Construction of knowledge: paradigms, methodology and instruments in educational research

In this area, studies and research focus on the construction of scientific knowledge in education: from critical studies of philosophy of education, the investigation of epistemological paradigms of the educational sciences, studies on methods of empirical research, critical reflection on integrating pedagogical sciences with other sciences (e.g. neuroscience, psychoanalysis), and research on the validation of data collection techniques, to the microanalytical study of educational practices in the field.
