Special Interest Group
This SIG is interested in the relationship between research and policy in education
This SIG provides a space for BERA members interested in the relationship between research and policy in education. Rather than critiquing policies, the SIG is particularly interested in the procedures involved in making policies, and the role played by research. The SIG recognises that policies are not only made in government departments, but in schools and a wide range of education institutions.
The SIG aims to identify and enhance the various ways in which research can have a stronger influence on education policy. For example, the SIG’s 2024 work commenced with a webinar discussing a potential expert policy advice mechanism. It is intended that 2-3 webinars will be held per annum.
