A scholarly society in difficult times. An essay for the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the Polish Educational Research Association

Abstract

The structure of the essay is created by the question about the execution of PERA’s statutory goals in the context of other scholarly societies. The goals concern the performance and popularisation of scientific research as well as the promotion of scientific achievements. The review of 35 years of the Association’s activity provided a conclusion that it recorded successes in the field of scientific research and publication of research results. At the same time, there has been no significant progress in the promotion of educational ideas and creation of the grounds for educational change understood as a movement and social undertaking. The author of the text sees PERA’s perspectives in the development of educational literacy.
