Led by Professor John Mitchell, UCL

Hosted by Middlesex University’s Dr Homeira Shayesteh, Pedagogic Research Group Lead for the Faculty of Science and Technology with support from the Centre for Academic Practice Enhancement (CAPE).

Aim:

This session will consider the importance of pedagogic research, and in particularly how it relates to the support of large-scale educational change in STEM and Engineering disciplines. The session will outline the need for educational research as both a means to inform curriculum development, but also as an enabler of innovation in the classroom and as a support for teaching staff. It will cover platforms for publication and give some examples of best practices in this area
