CESE calls for graduate students’ research projects from the doctorate students in Education once a year in order to encourage the young researchers and their studies from various perspectives. We support six research projects this year under the topic of “School Education in the Globalization Era”.

The progress report seminar of the graduate research projects was held on December 10, 2014. All the groups presented their excellent progress and showed their earnest attitudes toward their research. Some students gave their presentations in English because we will have the final report seminar in Stockholm in March 2015.

We learned that there are common issues to improve before the final report seminar in Stockholm throughout the research groups, such as to clearly express the research question, to have the appropriate range of focus and to simplify the conclusion, to explain in the international context, not to put too many words in the power point presentations etc. We look for their improved presentations in the final report seminar.

Thank you very much for the 25 attendees in the progress report seminar.
