kasvatustieteellisten

Kasvatustieteellisten is a Finnish grammatical form used in scholarly and educational contexts. It is the genitive plural of the adjective-noun phrase kasvatustieteellinen, which relates to kasvatustiede, the discipline commonly translated as educational sciences or pedagogy. In Finnish, such genitive plural forms are used to express possession, association, or attribution, for example in phrases like kasvatustieteellisten tutkimusten, kasvatustieteellisten alojen tutkijat or kasvatustieteellisten menetelmien vertailu.

Kasvatustiede is the interdisciplinary field that studies education and upbringing, learning processes, teaching practices, and educational systems. It draws on psychology, sociology, philosophy, and policy studies to understand how people learn and how educational environments can be organized to support development, equity, and inclusion. The field covers topics from early childhood education to adult learning, curriculum design, assessment, and governance of education.

In use, kasvatus­tieteellisten typically modifies a noun to indicate that something belongs to or pertains to the educational sciences. Examples include kasvatustieteellisten tutkimusten tulokset (the results of educational-science studies), kasvatustieteellisten alojen tutkijat (researchers in the educational science fields), and kasvatustieteellisten menetelmien vertailu (comparison of educational-science methods). The form is common in Finnish academic writing, where precise attribution to a discipline or field is needed without repeating the full term kasvatustiede.

Overall, the term signals the domain of study, research, or discourse related to educational sciences, expressed through the genitive plural grammatical form in Finnish.
