BERA hold conferences, publishing research, and paying for research.[1] The association is open to researchers from any discipline.[1] Their publications have become a well-known fixture for educational research, and provide an interdisciplinary approach that includes: "reports of experiments and surveys, discussions of conceptual and methodological issues and of underlying assumptions in educational research, accounts of research in progress, and book reviews."[2]

It is governed by an elected council with its president serving a two-year term. It is run on a daily basis by a permanent office staff, headed by Nick Johnson.[when?]
