Guest Lecture: An Introduction to Teacher Research by Professor Jean McNiff
University of Sunderland Centre for Pedagogy
“An Introduction to Teacher Research”
Professor Jean McNiff (University of York)
on 9.30am Saturday October 10th 2015
at Tom Cowie Lecture Theatre, St Peter’s Campus, SR6 0DD
Jean McNiff enjoys an international reputation as a leading voice in teacher action research. The Centre for Pedagogy has enabled her visit to inspire University of Sunderland newly qualified teachers who are planning research and development projects in FE Colleges, Training Agencies, schools and local industries.
You are invited to her opening lecture to share her approach to motivating teachers from a wide range of settings to engage with research. Jean presents a very persuasive rationale for pragmatic and grounded teacher research. She encourages teachers to use realistic approaches which are teacher-friendly, empowering and effective in changing classroom practices.
Following the lecture on the Saturday, teacher educators, NQTs and research students are invited to join Jean for “Coffee and Questions” to explore how her ideas could be applied in our own practices. We hope that this will be of particular interest to teacher-educators from the department. We also hope that it will attract University of Sunderland newly qualified teachers who are entering their Professional Formation/Induction Year and who might be thinking of using teacher research to improve their practice. We hope it will also be of interest to recently qualified teachers who are considering engaging in their own practical educational research.
We would urge you to take advantage of this excellent opportunity to learn with a research leader who is both inspirational and extremely accessible[1].
