Special Interest Group
Exploring research methodology to provide ethical, evidence-based research for implementation in educational contexts
This SIG provides a welcoming safe-space for researchers at all stages of their careers to explore and discuss methodological issues when involved, as participants, researchers and users, in educational research. In addition to traditional events (both in-person and on-line), the SIG encourages all its members to contribute to BERA Blogs, Podcasts and the various publications. We have run special sections in Research Intelligence to encourage explorations of themes relevant to the SIG. We want to be seen as inclusive so reach out to our international members to provide them with opportunities to participate and interact.
