Organiser

Nicole Brown

In this webinar, Kate will offer a brief introduction into concerns around ethical practitioner research. She will comment on the relationship and tensions between research ethics, approval committees on the one hand, and professional ethics, standards and responsibilities on the other. 

Kate will further explore the researcher's ethical duty to not only listen to, but to adhere to children's rights, thus to fully include and involve children in research processes. She will argue that "pedagogical appropriateness" drives good practitioner-research, thus shows how practice informs methodological and practical choices in research.

Following Kate's introduction to ethical considerations in practice as research there will be an opportunity for an open whole-group discussion.


This event will be particularly useful for those interested in education, practice as research and practitioner research.


Practice As Research network seminar series

Practice As Research aims to bring together the many different strands of practice-led/based research across all disciplines so as to not be limited by disciplinary conventions, but instead to benefit from cross-disciplinary fertilisation.  We consider Practice As Research any practice that is underpinned by scholarship and academic rigour. Our primary aim is sharing practices, providing constructive feedback, and thus enabling the mutual development of understanding around practice as research.

Professor Kate Wall

at University of Strathclyde

Her work focuses on the development of pedagogies and research methodologies that facilitate effective talk about learning (metacognition). She has worked extensively in partnership with teachers of all ages and stages, using practitioner enquiry approaches and has a growing interest in how tools with pedagogic and methodological origins can be used to support theorised practice.
