The School of Education, Theology and Leadership at St Mary’s University, Twickenham has published the latest edition of its Education Journal, ReflectED.
ReflectED was first published in 2011 and is a platform for the distribution of interdisciplinary articles, while celebrating the challenging and changing nature of educational research and practice. The latest edition of the publication, which features an editorial by St Mary’s Vice-Chancellor Francis Campbell, begins with a report on the Mathematics Education Teaching Research Enterprise (METRE) Sphere event held at the University in November 2014.
The Journal includes an investigation into the factors behind Finland’s high results in the Programme of International Student Assessment (PISA) by Dr Jennifer Chung, lecturer in Education and Social Science. Business Management Lecturer Dr Chi Maher also contributes research to this issue, in which she explores Students as Active Participants in Curriculum Design: Exploratory Implications for Career Path Choices.
Alumna Helena Vardy is also featured in this issue with her article entitled Resilience in Primary Mathematics: Providing a challenging learning environment, which discusses the position that problem solving can foster resilience by focussing on key aspects of persistence.
Senior Lecturer for Primary Maths and Editor of ReflectED Dr Edwards-Leis said, “The quality of research at St Mary’s is born with our students who continue to feature strongly in each edition. Our NQTs, like Helena Vardy, demonstrate that researched-informed practice is a key benefit of undertaking studies here. ReflectED continues to showcase research, scholarship and outstanding professional practice.”
The latest edition of ReflectED is also available to view online. Contributions are welcomed from all staff and students at St Mary’s.
