Dear colleagues,
among other things, in discussions at the American Association for Moral Education Conference in Seattle in 2019, colleagues and I shared the impression that research in social and educational science has lost touch with fundamental theoretical and therefore more explanatory and systematic concepts and approaches, and is becoming more and more of an accumulation of correlations.
We then planned a symposium for the AME Conference 2020, at which, among other things, we want to bring theorists like Habermas, Piaget and Kohlberg back into the game. These, for example, have in our view disappeared unfounded from various research contexts.
In this context, I would like to draw your attention to a current discussion of these theories. These are the central theses of my habilitation (2015). In it I try to integrate the development-theoretical models of Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg on the basis of a socialization-theoretical and methodological reconstructive (Jürgen Habermas and Ulrich Oevermann) perspective.

I am very much looking forward to your impressions and experiences in this matter!

Well I think modern technology help us to find relations between almost every factor playing a role on any process including social interactions such as teaching-learning process but it is just the easiest part. In my opinion, the really valuable thing to do is analyzing now important each factor is for identifying the real causes and the secondary factors for leading real research about basing the data on consistent theories for implementing according measures in order to improve the entire process, I mean, both the research process and the teaching-learning one.
Dear Boris Zizek
if i understood correctly your precious word, It's a very interesting idea to combine/ integrate theories.
Really, it is a strong methodological drawback of Social Sciences, but I would like to circumscribe my statement to Educational and Pedagogical Sciences. It is preventing for theoretical unification in those fields of study (well,at least it is one of factors....)
