• Institute of Educational Technology, The Open University.
• Association for Learning Technology http://www.researchinlearningtechnology.net/index.php/rlt 

I didn't have one association in mind, but AERA and AECT certainly fit.

e.g.

European Educational Research Association

Department of Educational Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Kaunas university of Technology, Lithuania

Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences - the biggest teacher training institution in Lithuania

Hello, 

These two french-speaking organizations lead interesting study :

The french association ARDéCO (Association pour la recherche et le développement des compétences / Association for research and improvement of competences)

The quebecian CRRE (Consortium de Régional de Recherche en Education : http://edupsy.uqac.ca/crre/?page_id=2)

 learning &management institute we offer management courses to our clients and we are the best in Africa. our website is 

http://www.kim.ac.ke

ASCD has supported and published work in this area, from Bob Marzano's work to that by Grant Wiggins and others.

in the case of research that I do is done according to the process of knowledge construction

The scientific and professional associations such as BERA, AERA, EERA, and so on.

Our professorship "E-Learning and New Media" is concerned with this question. We are situated at TU Chemnitz in Germany.

The American Educational Research Organization (AERA) has several Special Interest Groups related to learning design.  One is

The Design Research Society has a SIG (Special Interest Group) on Design Pedagogy that work closely with Cumulus and DesignEd (US) on conferences and research specifically on design education.

Design thinking are essential  for all teachers and researcher. As I am a teacher work proactive for betterment what ever I do as a professional as design thinker do. Efficiency and credibility is other side. So higher education institution can work as the professional designer of his her respective area of teaching and disciplines.

The European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI) is internationally oriented and contains several special interest groups, like Instructional design, Qualitative and quantititive approches to learning and isntruction,

This is their website:

International Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) https://www.isls.org/conferences/icls

My first thought was AECT - Association for Educational Communications and Technology - http://aect.org

Second thought would be AERA - American Educational Research Association - http://www.aera.net/
