I am exploring the nature of creativity in teaching and learning in primary science, whilst simultaneously considering this alongside potential insights from arts disciplines.

(Research student)

My research focuses on bringing the vanguard of science into the classroom and examining how the teaching of science can be infused with the arts through ‘maker education’. I have also been studying the effects of this approach on students’ learning.

Main project is focusing on an international comparative research between England and Japan on mentoring in ITT. Other areas of interest include early mathematics teaching and learning, blogs to support teaching students reflective practice and coaching in education.

Research interests focus on technology in learning. Particularly the role of technology in developing classroom talk and dialogue. Tablets, including iPads, are my main research focus. My recent publications have also included a focus on computing in primary schools

My doctoral research focused on young children's museum experiences. In order to provide children with opportunities to communicate their experiences, I am interested in visual and arts-based methods and developing methodologies to underpin them.

I am a drama specialist who is researching ways in which drama can help children to develop their understanding of tricky concepts in primary science.

My research focus is the use of online spaces and social media for learning. I am particularly interested in using qualitative and interpretivist approaches to explore what Twitter has to offer educationalist, in particular Further Education practitioners

My research focuses on accessing the lived experience of the primary mathematics classroom through the use of different data collection tools. Thus bringing the two worlds of the teacher and pupil together allowing for insight into learning interactions.

My research examines and exemplifies creativity-in-science. It considers how originality is developed (or conceived of) at school (primary and secondary) and through the perspectives of professional scientists. I am also interested in how formative assessment strategies can augment creativeness.

My research focus is the use of online spaces and My research focuses on how new pedagogical approaches for teaching science might contribute and support the development of students’ creative skills, knowledge and confidence in the current educational landscape where the Artificial Intelligence algorithms and digital technologies is changing the profile of our learners.

Interests include 'the teaching of Design Technology. I am also concerned with the development of scientific vocabulary in the primary classroom, and the scientific subject knowledge acquisition of trainee teachers.

Dr Karen Hosack Janes teaches on the BA(Hons) and PGCE Primary Education and School Direct teacher training courses at Oxford Brookes University. She specialises in exploring pedagogies that help children to develop their creative agency and skills.

I am researching the nature of a child-centred pedagogy within the Forest School approach: how the Forest School principles are enacted by Forest School Leaders, and how children perceive their experience of these

My research is centred on exploring the ways that pedagogies shape and direct learning. This includes cultural, policy and curricular influences too, across subject disciplines and involving learners of all ages.

(STEAM research-led)

I belong to an international group interested in researching how HEIs can develop confidence and competence in primary trainee teachers of Physical Education. My interests are those trainees who categorise themselves as having a lack of subject knowledge but become inspiring teachers.

My research interests focus on artist teacher / art educator transformative pedagogies and flexible learning pedagogies. I am interested in interdisciplinary practices, examining where tensions and symbiosis enable shifts and innovations. As an arts-based researcher I examine lived experiences (both my own and others') through making art (see www.rachelpayne.co.uk/art/reseach).

My current research interests are Maths, supporting learners who may be finding Maths challenging and reflection on teaching using video cameras

My doctorate is ' Expert teaching: what matters to expert teachers?' A cultural-historical analysis of how teachers design tasks to enable pupils to enact knowledge. It also looks at expertise alongside teacher subject knowledge.

(Research student)

My research interests include developing innovative strategies for teaching mathematical understanding, using stories to teach maths concepts and supporting trainee teachers. I have a keen research interest in international education and in multilingual learners.

Leading the extension of the Thinking, Doing, Talking Science project which builds on earlier research funded by the PSTT. This has shown a link between challenging, creative primary science lessons and increased pupil engagement and attainment.

My research centers on Children’s Engagement with Science and Conservation Education through inquiry-based learning approaches. This includes the influence of trainee and qualified teacher upon children’s engagement in science.
