Special Issue – Christian Imdorf, Arne Böker, Romuald Normand, Christian Schneijderberg & Rebecca Ye (Eds.): Convention Theory in Research on Schools, Vocational Training, and Higher Education.
This HSR Special Issue explores convention theory’s potential for educational research across schools, vocational training, and higher education. The editorial highlights the theoretical potential of convention theory and its core concepts such as orders of worth, investments in forms, and regimes of engagement and outlines methodological strategies for both deductive and inductive social research.
The ten original contributions of the issue cover various educational contexts and segments from school to vocational training and higher education, as well as different methodological approaches, offering key insights into the current state of education research guided by convention theory.
