Abstract: | By 2020 our world will have changed and with it the shape and role of education and of educational research. One cannot predict
the future, but in this paper three possible scenarios are outlined reflecting alternative approaches of government to the
economic, political, social and environmental challenges facing the Asia Pacific region. For each scenario (loosely-labelled:
conservative-hierarchical, pragmatic-competitive, utopian-co-operative), the goals, structure, policy and practice of education
and educational research are outlined, and the implications for the development of educational research and for the Asia Pacific
Educational Research Association (APERA) are explored. |
