Prof. Nirit Bauminger-Zviely
The Faculty of Education at Bar-Ilan University is dedicated to scientific excellence through interdisciplinary and data-driven research that advances knowledge and informs educational practice and policy. The Faculty brings together diverse disciplines, methodologies, and theoretical perspectives to address complex educational challenges. We view education as a dynamic process of growth and development through learning. By integrating cutting-edge empirical research, advanced analytics, and hands-on engagement in educational settings, we offer innovative, research-driven training programs. We foster intellectual curiosity, creativity, and scholarly initiative, empowering students and researchers to challenge conventions, achieve academic excellence, and generate meaningful impact for individuals, communities, and society.
Studies in the Faculty of Education are organized into three domains:
- Human Development and Neurodiversity. This domain includes educational counseling, special education (with specializations in autism spectrum disorder, cognitive diversity, and specific learning disorders), and child development programs.
- Pedagogy and Learning Processes. This domain includes science and technology education, the learning sciences, brain and education studies, and teacher certification programs across 21 areas of specialization.
- Organizational and Policy Domain. This domain focuses on educational leadership, organizational development and policy, the management and development of non-formal education systems, and higher education.
We take pride in our faculty and students, who are deeply committed to advancing and improving education while fostering a positive and inclusive academic community grounded in mutual learning and respect. We value an environment of continuous dialogue and meaningful engagement between faculty and students, recognizing that learning is enriched through diverse perspectives. Through this collaborative culture, the Faculty of Education prepares graduates and researchers to lead, innovate, and contribute thoughtfully to educational systems in a rapidly changing world.
Thank you for your interest, and we warmly invite you to join us!!
