The National Teacher Research Panel was set up about 15 years ago by CUREE supported by a group of national education agencies most of which no longer exist. It had three main goals:
- To ensure that all research in education takes account of the teacher perspective
- To ensure a higher profile for research and evidence informed practice in government, academic and practitioner communities
- To increase the number of teachers engaged in and with the full spectrum of research activity.
Over the several years of its existence, the Panel, supported by its expert advisers in CUREE, has helped and encouraged dozens of teachers and school leaders to do high quality but practical research. The Panel also helped them report their findings succinctly, in plain English and focused on relevance to other practitioners. This is one such example of that work.
Aim: The overall aim of the project is to examine the ways in which new technologies can be used in educational settings to enhance teaching and learning. Specific aims are:
To describe and theorise the links between teaching and learning in ICT-rich settings;
To characterise young peoples and teachers out-of-school learning with technology in order to draw on this potential within school-based learning situations;
To characterise productive professional development practices;
To identify the conditions which give rise to effective management practices enabling the creation of innovative computer based learning environments;
To highlight the similarities and differences between subject cultures with respect to both pedagogic practices and students approaches to learning which incorporate new technologies;
To identify the ways in which research evidence can be transformed and developed to be of value to educational practitioners.
