2 PART I SOME PHILOSOPHICAL GUIDELINES
3 Why should we address research? The Implementation Report of the Bologna process 2012 recommends: implementing quality higher education, connected with research and lifelong learning. Not only structural reform but reform in content. The strategic goal quality can not be achieved without integration of research in the educational goals. Strategic shift on another structural level how to connect the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) with European Research Area (ERA)
4 The crucial link: the doctoral training Quote from the Principles for Innovative Doctoral Training EUROPEAN COMMISSION, DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR RESEARCH & INNOVATION, 27/06/2011 Research Excellence Striving for excellent research is fundamental to all doctoral education and from this all other elements flow. Academic standards set via peer review procedures and research environments representing a critical mass are required. The new academic generation should be trained to become creative, critical and autonomous intellectual risk takers, pushing the boundaries of frontier research. The doctoral training practically demonstrates that European integration of higher education is simultaneously European integration of research. It ensures: Mobile international and interdisciplinary teams Quality both in education and in research Creativity
5 Why should we cooperate in reading research-and-education The specificity of reading Major cultural technique of Modernity Rising literacy a precondition for the modernization as well as for European and world development of the XIX and XX century. Current great challenge: Global changes in reading practices in media and digital age: optimistic and apocalyptic visions. The changing and multiplying concept of literacy - basic literacy, communicative literacy, digital literacy, cultural literacy, functional literacy etc: what do they mean, how are they connected to the different levels of educational system (primary education, secondary education, higher education), is it possible to standardize them in measurable knowledge, skills and competences?
6 PART II READING PRACTICES AND READING RESEARCH IN EUROPE
7 Europe is lagging behind in reading research Major research initiatives in reading research and literacy: Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) Initiated by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), , participants 65 countries, 15-years-old students Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) ; participants 50 countries. Students in the age of years Led by TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center, Boston College, USA) Research initiatives of the International Reading Association (IRA), based in the USA
8 Results of PISA and European differences According to the reading results and rankings of the PISA survey, Europe is losing its lead in reading and education (only Finland and the Netherlands in the ranking of the global first ten) PISA demonstrates great differences in reading cultures: Europe is divided by reading disparities, especially between the North and the South: Finland, the Netherlands, Estonia, Norway, Iceland, Sweden have a tangible lead in the results of the PISA tests; The countries of Western and Central Europe are in the golden middle of the global ranking (Poland, Germany, France, the UK, Hungary), The countries from the South Europe, and especially the Balkan countries, are at the bottom (the gap between Finland and the last European country in the ranking, Albania, is as many as 151 points).
9 PISA results in Southeast Europe no less significant differences between the 15-years old reading skills and competences inside the SEE countries: difference between Slovenia (ranked 31st) and Albania (ranked 60th) is 98 points, the equivalent of almost two school years education in reading; Slovenia (31st), Greece (32nd), Croatia (36th) and Turkey (41st) are somewhere in the middle, ahead of Serbia (45th), Bulgaria (46th); Montenegro (54th) and Albania (60 th ) are far behind. Most of the students in the SEE countries on the edge of the functional illiteracy
10 The important question What could be the role of the cooperation of reading research and higher education in the context of the further development of Bologna process?
11 Eine Seele für Europa Research of differences in reading cultures across Europe is, in fact, an indirect research in European cultural inequalities: in case we don t want for European society to remain only political, economic and bureaucratic project, governed from above, we should invest in common cultural identity: eine Seele für Europa : real identification and stimulus for civic participation from bellow. Reading cultures and cultural canons are significant part of this common identity. Research and education in reading cultures could be major contribution to this crucial task: overcoming the European cultural inequalities (with respect to all cultural differences),, building common European cultural identity, bridging the gap in key competences and developing standards in cultural literacy (common cultural canons), transcending national isolations.
12 Reading research and the development of Bologna process Reading research and quality assurance: control of level of literacy at the entrance of the higher educational system; better structural communication between the secondary schools and the universities, better new students. Further development and multiplication of the concept of literacy: could we imagine types of literacy that should be implemented by the higher education (cultural literacy, digital literacy, communicative literacy, scientific literacy basic interdisciplinary competences, required by the higher education, beyond any expert professional specialization?) European compatibility of the competences and literacies expected at the exit of the higher educational system. Better balance between basic interdisciplinary competences and strictly specialized, expert professional competences.
13 Principal steps Mapping of reading research in Europe (major centers, projects, teams, achievements). Discussing the policy frame of reading research and education in the context of Bologna process. Standardizing the goals and method of reading research on European scale in order to achieve compatible results. Stimulating interdisciplinary European research teams with significant participation of doctoral students (funding schemes, exchange, mobility, inauguration of the common research standards). Consortia of reading research institutions, centres, teams Implementing the reading research process in the doctoral training. Doctoral students teams and networks.
14 Further steps Introducing of academic courses in BA and MA level on European reading cultures ïn change and on cultural inequalities. Linking research teams with university life and teaching: BA and MA students, first steps in research Life long teaching for teachers in primary and secondary schools: new competences and professional expertise of the teachers in reading.
