Research Findings
Read the latest research happening in Bristol Early Years settingsBristol Early Years is committed to research-engaged and innovative practice through collaborative practitioner enquiry. ‘Researchful’ practice is recognised as a key driver for setting improvement and professional learning. Staff are empowered to lead their own learning, and that of others, in response to identified needs, interests and professional curiosities. Currently Research Hubs are being established to provide creative thinking spaces for facilitated professional dialogue and enquiry.
The following article by Professor Graham Handscomb explores the concept of teacher/ practitioner researcher, highlighting the conditions necessary to embed a culture of researchful practice. A good think piece for introducing research-based practice.
It is teachers who in the end will change the world of the school by understanding it.
