The British Education Studies Association (BESA) was established to support research in the field of Education Studies. It was formed in July 2005 as a subject association for all students, teachers and researchers in Education Studies within the UK. Most universities have engaged in initial and in-service teacher-training for many years and many have now developed Education Studies as a degree subject in its own right.
In an age of uncertainty, formulating an area of subject knowledge is difficult and the world of educational theory is particularly diverse. Education Studies courses have a variety of sources and origins and have taken particular forms in different universities. Some educational associations and societies currently in existence have professional practice as their main focus; others are concerned with wider educational theory (though not at undergraduate level); yet others provide for childhood studies and early years.
The Association provides the opportunity to develop theoretical frameworks for Education Studies which can be shared between institutions. The effect is a diverse range of curricula, student learning experiences and potential career outcomes.
