A school/HE research collaboration
Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2025 10:39 am
What may be helpful to change this situation is a shift in practice so that more ITE academics and teacher researchers collaborate on practitioner-led research that influences practice and creates impact in schools. By building in ways to capture and disseminate impact happening at the micro (classroom), meso (institutional) and macro (school group/regional) level, both worlds can benefit.
What next for school-based practitioner research?
In this project, the best of both worlds was possible. That you are reading this blog post shows that, from this tiny acorn, something has begun to grow. The tiny pilot is now just the first phase in a larger umbrella project asking to taiwan email list what extent research co-created between schools and higher education can demonstrate impact at the micro, meso and macro levels. The question is whether this model of collaboration can result in high-quality CtP research: whether practitioner researchers, both in schools and in HE, can gain recognition for the work they do?
Elizabeth Hidson received the BERA Annual Conference 2023 Practitioner Research SIG award for her paper, ‘From tiny acorns: A co-produced research project between Chinese teacher researchers and UK-based international initial teacher training academics’. A recording of Elizabeth’s presentation is available on the BERA website.In this blog post we reflect on the circumstances leading to the tragic death of Headteacher Ruth Perry and consider what the implications for Ofsted are going forward.
