Landscape of Teacher and School Leader Research Activity Survey
On behalf of the Teachers' Research Exchange (T-REX) Project, led by Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, we are looking to determine the scope of research activity by practising teachers in Ireland during the present academic year (2024-2025).
Research activity of many different kinds has more and more become a common aspect of the professional practice of teachers and school leaders. Despite this fact, there is little by way of tracking what research is going on across many different venues and areas, nor any means of representing just how much new knowledge is being produced by teachers and school leaders, in various ways, in a given academic year. This project aims to survey the landscape of current research, so as to better represent the level of activity, and the diverse forms it takes.
Are you a working teacher or school leader? Researchers in Mary Immaculate College- Limerick are conducting a 10-minute anonymous online survey exploring the role of different kinds of research activities (from systematic reading to use of data in school self-evaluation, to formal research projects, and more) in teachers’ and school leaders’ professional practice.
The 10-minute online survey is open for responses until the 31st of May.
If you would like to find out more about the short online survey, or take part, please click this https://forms.office.com/e/q3Sk6f9LYH.
