In partnership with different types of
institutions and establishments – universities, écoles normales
supérieures (teacher training schools), the CNRS (national scientific
research centre), the university institutes for teacher training (IUFM)
–, the INRP contributes to the development of research in education
on a national scale.
In compliance with its recent contract, the INRP is now developing much
of its research duties within the framework of shared units.
As a research body involved in basic or applied scientific production,
it conducts its work based on clearly identified development directions
and targets:
learning processes and situations;
changes in the education system;
development of teaching knowledge and professionalism.
These directions take on board the expectations of society
with regard to the education system, and the position of research in France.
They also aim to make it possible to implant the agency into the university
environment in Lyon and the Rhone-Alpes region.
For the duration of its contract (2002-2006), the INRP
research programme is structured around three types of scientific partnerships:
joint research units (UMR);
research teams in technology and education (ERTé) working with
joint research units and made up of universities, two écoles normales
supérieures or teacher training schools and, for one of them, with
the support of the Academy of Sciences;
project teams, for a two-year trial period, in association with a group
composing university institutes for teacher training (IUFM) and universities.
The INRP is asserting itself as a privileged player in scientific and
technical exchange networks between research laboratories, education professionals
and training-for-life professionals. The INRP also aims to strengthen
international recognition of French research in education. To do this,
it cooperates with a number of foreign partners, especially in French-speaking
areas and European networks specialised in the field of education.
