Using Participatory Image Based Research to Inform Teaching and Learning about Inclusion in Education

Images can play an important role in developing skills in critical reflection, both in schools and universities. Working with school students to take their own photographs as a way of exploring their school and its culture has great potential as an EBL approach. As such, University students in Education stand to gain invaluable skills in learning and engaging with this participatory methodology. This project will engage with six LEAs in the North-West to develop a 15 credit course unit which will also be available as an online resource. Aspects of the unit will be piloted in the second semester with PGCE students.

Partnerships in Pedagogy

Post-qualification support for secondary school teachers is less well provided than other aspects of their professional preparation. This project will develop materials that will enable school-based mentors to work together with trainees, using an EBL approach, to investigate and develop pedagogic beliefs and practices. Findings from this project will be captured and made available to other areas of the university where training for professional practice is carried out.
