Personal profile
Area of academic expertise - outline
I am the UWS representative on the Scottish Government-funded project, Measuring Quality in Initial Teacher Education. I have conducted research on active learning in the early stages of primary school. I remain interested in the area of children's literature and its use in the primary classroom.
Current research activities
Upcoming projects include an exploration and comparison of reflection by and among ITE students.
Desired research direction
With five years' experience leading a large undergraduate ITE programme, and five years' experience of leading the PGDE Primary programme, I have access to rich "data" regarding students, their experiences on placement, and their perceived competence. I am keen to research more formally this area.
