BERA Special Interest Groups (SIGs)

SIGs are an important part of BERA membership and key to the BERA community. They represent the particular research concerns of groups of members, encompassing both different disciplinary approaches to educational research and different educational concerns.

The SIGs provide ways of bringing together groups of individuals within education who share the same interests or approaches to research.

SIG activities take place across the UK. Involvement with these SIGs can be through attending SIG meetings and/or through participating with the SIG online communities.
