Research and Higher Degrees
The School of Education aims to:
- Promote an active culture of research and scholarship to support high quality teaching and to generate models of professional practice that encourage learning.
- Identify and promote developments in professional practice both within higher education and within schools.
- Work with LAs and teacher colleagues in promoting education practice that improves pupil learning.
- Develop research in educational studies that provides the critical context for education policies and implications for professional practice, the shape of the education system and the curriculum.
There is a strong emphasis on research and scholarship that addresses issues across the curriculum and aims to integrate theory with practice.
Many aspects of research and scholarly activity are located within partnerships with LAs and a wide range of schools and FE colleges.
A key theme aims to promote closer collaboration between schools and the School of Education. This includes several strands of research which focus on new ways of working in partnership, searching for new models of continuing professional development and the improvement of quality in learning and professional practice.
All academic staff within the School of Education have an entitlement to 35 days per year (pro-rata) of research and scholarly activity. They can use this form to safeguard this time by booking it in advance with their line managers.
