Institute of Education Student Research Conference: Sharing our stories

The Institute of Education Student Research Conference ‘Sharing our Stories’ is to be held via Zoom on Thursday 17th June from 1pm to 6pm.

The event opens with a keynote address from Dr Alesia Moldavan, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education at Fordham University, USA. Dr Moldavan will present Developing Critical Consciousness with Conversations about Equity in Mathematics Teacher Education.

Papers and posters will be presented after this from our Post Graduate Research students and cover topics as diverse as How training can support the use of Management Information Systems in English Secondary Schools to Professional learning for teachers in Wales.

A discussion session will focus on one student, Patrick Lanigan’s, story as he refocussed his research in response to COVID-19 and its impact on school life. We will open the discussion to all so that we can share how we have managed research during this extraordinary time.

Please join us as we ‘share our stories’ of research.
