The anthropological approach allows us to study instituted educational acts holistically. In addition, in light of the fact that education takes place within a certain set of cultural trends, customs, lifestyles and worldviews, the anthropological perspective helps us better understand the overarching cultural environment they form.
The Laboratory of Pedagogical Research and Lifelong Education at the Department of Educational Sciences and Early Childhood Education of the University of Patras was founded in 1996. Titled the Laboratory of Pedagogical Research and Applications at its founding, it was one of the earliest such Laboratories in Greece. Two decades later, the Laboratory was renamed to better reflect the research interests of its members and its ongoing research and development activities. This change was effected by GG 900B/4-4-2016, which gave the Laboratory its current name.
