Il 2° Seminario internazionale di studi organizzato dal Journal of Educational, Cultural and Psycological Studies (21 Maggio 2012) ha prodotto una intensa giornata di riflessione sul dibattito epistemologico e metodologico che anima, ad oggi, la ricerca internazionale in campo educativo. Come già nel 1° Seminario tenutosi ad Aprile 2011, Gaetano Domenici, nel suo intervento di avvio ai lavori, ribadisce l’impegno del EPCS Journal nel proporre tali eventi per consentire agli esperti un dialogo proficuo e ai dottorandi, ed ai nuovi ricercatori, un importante momento formativo. Gli interventi hanno affrontato questioni relative alla ricerca in educazione soprattutto in merito agli aspetti metodologici, teoretici ed operativi, sottolineandone, inoltre, la stretta interconnessione alle scelte politiche e finanziarie dei governi e delle accademie e al tema della valutazione della ricerca.
