Research

The Faculty of Education works closely and collaboratively with schools to ensure that its strong reputation for teaching is enhanced by relevant applied research, scholarship and knowledge mobilization. The Faculty is at the forefront of developments in supporting school based research by teachers, for example, through the Teacher Research Associates Programme (TRAP) and the supervision of doctoral research by practicing teachers. A new education specific MRes is currently under development as a foundation for excellent research in education.

The Faculty has a team of two research professors, one visiting professor and two readers. Other Faculty staff undertaking work at post-doctoral level belong to the Practice Improving Research Group for Education, the Centre for Learner Identity Studies or the Centre for Learning and Teaching Research. Staff undertaking doctoral research are members of the Faculty Doctoral Society.
