Undertaking classroom research is seen as an effective form of CPD. This course, ‘An introduction to classroom research’, provides a basic introduction to research design and illustrates two methodologies, case study and action research, by drawing on examples from the classroom. The activities in the course provide an opportunity for you to design and develop your own project.
After studying
this course, you should be able to:
1.
Understand
what makes something ‘research’ rather than reflective practice.
2.
Know
how to approach the design of a piece of research.
3.
Understand
two particular methodologies: case study and action research.
4.
Understand
some of the issues around collecting and analyzing data.
5.
Consider
how best to disseminate your work.
Teaching is not
perceived to be an evidence-based profession and is subject to interventions
from politicians, based on ideology rather than on evidence. Ben Goldacre
(2013) argues that teaching should be an evidence-based profession and that
this would lead to better outcomes for children. In particular, he suggests
that:
1.
A change
in culture is needed, in which teachers and politicians recognize that we don’t
necessarily ‘know’ what works best – we need evidence that something works.
2.
Teachers
need better access to the outcomes of research.
3.
Teachers
need to understand how research works so that they can become critical
consumers.
4.
Teachers
need access to networks where they can engage with others who are interested in
research.
The assumption of
this course is that the evidence-based practice is a good thing and that the
changes advocated by Goldacre can be achieved through teachers researching
their own practice. Indeed, research practices are embedded in an increasing
number of schools and there is a recognition that this can contribute to school
improvement.
