Créée en 1974, l'association est composée de chercheurs en psychologie, en sociologie, en histoire ou en philosophie. Un part importante des membres est constituée de pédagogues dont les centres d'intérêt portent sur les curriculum, la pédagogie, l'évaluation, l'administration de l'éducation dans une perspective théorique, évaluative ou encore dans le cadre de recherche-action.
It is widely agreed that the overarching research concern of these educationists is to critically inform educational judgements and decisions aimed at improving educational action.
This then makes for a duality of policy/practice-focused research with a concern to advance practical wisdom in educational matters, and discipline-focused research with a concern to advance theoretical knowledge in educational settings about psychological or sociological phenomena or philosophical, economic or historical issues.
The potential audiences for both are practitioners, policy-makers and academics. Methodologically many policy/practice-focused researchers are engaged in studies of singularities (ie studies enclosed in narrow boundaries of space and time) while many discipline-focused researchers are searching for general statements. BERA aims to embrace all of these and provides opportunities at its conferences and in its publications for all to contribute.
