The Proceedings of ESERA 2017 is an electronic publication for revised and extended papers presented at the ESERA 2017 conference in Dublin, Ireland during the 21-25 August, 2017. All papers in the eProceedings correspond to communications submitted and accepted for the ESERA 2017 conference. All proposals to the conference went through a blind review by two or three reviewers prior to being accepted to the conference. A total of 1246 proposals (out of which 86 were symposia) were presented at the conference and in total 243 papers are included in the eProceedings. The authors were asked to produce updated versions of their papers and take into account the discussion that took place after the presentation and the suggestions received from other participants at the conference. On the whole, the eProceedings presents a comprehensive overview of ongoing studies in Science Education Research in Europe and beyond. This book represents the current interests and areas of emphasis in the ESERA community at the end of 2017. The eProceedings book contains eighteen parts that represent papers presented across 18 strands at the ESERA 2017 conference. Part 18 presents papers contributed by ESERA 2016 and 2017 summer school participants that presented at the ESERA 2017 conference. The stand chairs for ESERA 2017 co-edited the corresponding part for each strand 1 to 17 and part 18 was co-edited by the host of the 2016 and 2017 ESERA Summer schools and the coordinating member of ESERA Executive Board. All formats of presentation (single oral, interactive poster, ICT demonstration/workshop and symposium) used during the conference were eligible to be submitted to the eProceedings
