Abstract
The handbook provides extensive and comprehensive overview of theories, methods, and results from ILSA presented by excellent authors from the field of educational research and beyond. The discussion chapter aims at adding to this by providing a synthesis of the discussed topics as well as our perspectives on directions in which possible future developments could move. We hope to contribute by compiling the views and experiences of the chapters’ authors to portray a comprehensive illustration of the scientific landscape. The chapter follows roughly the structure of the handbook, focusing first on theoretical aspects followed by methodological considerations and closing with reflections on findings from ILSAs.
