GSC 1028: Learning, Educational Achievement and Life Course Development: An Integrated Research and Training Programme

尽管许多国家广泛愿意在教育政策中采用循证办法，但这一进程因缺乏关于教育中“什么有效”的经验数据和缺乏合格的专家而严重受阻。学习、教育成就和生活课程发展研究生院(LEAD)将在循证教育的背景下解决七个关键问题。为此，相互关联的学科卓越方法(IDEA)将建立在图宾根现有的六个核心研究领域的卓越基础上，并将这些学科专业知识整合到一个更广泛的框架内。IDEA方法强调学科的卓越，并描述了成功的跨学科合作的条件。为实施IDEA原则定义了五个关键的引线交叉点。研究生院的一个特别优势将是使用和发展创新的研究设计和测量方法以及复杂的数据分析方法。领先的研究中心将帮助研究生和研究人员在他们的实证工作的所有方面达到最高标准，包括他们的研究的“什么是有效的总结”。研究生院将进一步发展经验教育研究领域的现有结构，这是图宾根大学的一个优先领域。研究生院致力于寻找“解决实际问题的最佳答案”，完全符合图宾根“研究-相关性-责任”的学术理念。研究生院的目标是促进在教育相关问题上的杰出博士研究，并在所有方面保持一流的标准。研究生院每年将招收约20名学生。它将在现有几个协调一致的研究方案和研究生院的基础上，将其整合到一个专业的、面向国际的、结构化的研究生方案中。重要内容将包括培训和监督概念，该概念建立在成功举办博士培训方案的经验和所需能力的明确框架的基础上；对未来研究人员和专业人员的培训不仅限于博士学位水平；强烈的国际关注点；更广泛地确定循证教育领域的卓越标准的综合目标；致力于促进性别平等和支持注重家庭的工作环境；将相关性和责任纳入整个方案。

Despite a broad willingness in many countries to implement an evidence-based approach in educational policy, this process is severely impeded by a shortage of empirical data on "what works" in education and by a shortage of qualified experts. The Graduate School on Learning, Educational Achievement and Life Course Development (LEAD) will address seven key questions in the context of evidence-based education. To this end, the Interlinked Disciplinary Excellence Approach (IDEA) will build on existing excellence in Tübingen in six core research fields and integrate that disciplinary expertise within a broader framework. The IDEA approach highlights disciplinary excellence and describes conditions for successful interdisciplinary collaboration. Five critical LEAD Intersections have been defined for the implementation of IDEA principles. A particular strength of the Graduate School will be the use and development of innovative study designs and measurement approaches as well as sophisticated data analysis approaches. The LEADing Research Center will assist graduate students and researchers aiming to achieve the highest standards in all aspects of their empirical work, including a "What Works Summary" of their research. The Graduate School will further develop existing structures in the area of empirical educational research, which is a priority field for the University of Tübingen. With its focus on finding "best answers to real problems", the Graduate School will fit perfectly within the Tübingen academic profile of "Research - Relevance - Responsibility". The Graduate School aims to stimulate outstanding doctoral research on education-related issues and to maintain first-rate standards in all respects. The Graduate School will admit about 20 students per year. It will build on and integrate several existing coordinated research programmes and graduate schools within a professional, internationally oriented, structured graduate programme. Important elements will include a training and supervision concept that builds on both experience in running successful doctoral training programmes and an explicit framework of competencies to be acquired; an understanding that the training of future researchers and professionals is not restricted to the doctorate level; a strong international focus; the integrated goal of defining standards of excellence in the field of evidence-based education more generally; a commitment to increasing gender equality and supporting family-oriented work environments; and the integration of relevance and responsibility throughout the programme.
