The department owns an excellent group of scholars with strong teaching and research strength. Our faculty members have been sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation, National Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Science, Humanities and Social Sciences Project of Ministry of Education, Shanghai Planning Office of Philosophy and Social Science, Shanghai Educational Scientific Research Funding, and etc. The research projects carried out by us have been applied to the practice effectively, which won many national and provincial prizes. Over 18 years, we have published more than 500 influential papers in authoritative journals, such as Educational Research, Research in Educational Development, Journal of East China Normal University, Chinese Public Administration, China Higher Education Research, Global Education Outlook, Journal of The Chinese Society of Education, and etc. Among them, some articles have been reprinted by XinHua Digest, Duplicated Materials by People’s University, and China University Academic Abstracts.
In order to build a stronger faculty team, the department pays much attention to international and domestic academic exchange. Some teachers have experiences of studying abroad and attending academic conferences. At the same time, the department provides opportunities for teachers and students to exchange ideas and academic visions with other scholars, educational administrators and policymakers outside ECNU. The following are some academic activities held by the department:
Since 2017, the yearly International Conference on Educational Governance and School Reform is the signature meeting held by our department.
2012 - 2015, “Conference on Educational Leadership” was held yearly.
“Annual Conference of Chinese Economics of Education” in 2008
The first “National Graduate Symposium of Educational Economics” in 2008
Summer school for graduates of Economics and Administration of Education in China every year
The first “National Research Symposium for Doctorates of Economics and Administration of Education” in 2010
Social Services
We have made great contribution to the sustainable development of education in China. We believe that theories stem from practice first, and then can direct practicing. Therefore, in recent years we have not only provided first-rate training programs for school principals, teachers and educational administrators at all levels in China, but also built strong partnership with schools in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Zhejiang as well. Our faculty members are actively engaged in helping our research bases, school development communities and experimental schools to restructure the schools, to reconceptualize management principles, to support teachers’ professional development and to improve school effectiveness. In addition, many of our faculty members serve to guide educational policymaking at both regional and district level and have exerted profound influence during the processes.
