Biography

I am a member of the Education Systems, Curriculum, and Policy research and teaching group in the School of Education, and the University of Glasgow Educational Assessment Network. I have worked for several years in the University, developing knowledge and expertise of theory and practice in assessment and pedagogies. 

Research interests

Research and scholarship interests

My research and scholarship is focused on i) the development of pedagogical reasoning and ii) understanding assessment in relation to curriculum and pedagogy.

Since 2021, my research on pedagogical reasoning with David Morrison-Love has centred on understanding how this might be developed during initial teacher education. Working with teaching students on the MDTechEd programme we have explored the use of David's Adaptive Subject Pedagogy Model to support pedagogical reasoning in design and technology education. As part of this research, we are developing a method for researching our practice through abductive reasoning, building on the work of Stepney and Thomson and Coghlan and Rigg. 

My research on assessment has focused recently on the Camau i'r Dyfodol project which worked with education professionals and policymakers in Wales to co-construct knowledge of learning progression and assessment in the context of the new Curriculum for Wales. The project was based on the principle that change led by those at the heart of an education system provides the best opportunity for sharing expertise, building professional confidence, and fostering a coherent approach to curriculum change. The work of this project has informed the Design Partnerships: Creating Learning for Wales project (led by the University of Wales Trinity St David in partnership with the University of Glasgow). 

Methodology and analysis

I use qualitative interpretivist approaches in my research and scholarship, with particular expertise in reflexive thematic analysis, narrative synthesis literature reviews, and qualitative content analysis.

Project description

The Camau i’r Dyfodol project (Steps to the Future) is a 3-year joint project of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and the University of Glasgow in collaboration with Welsh Government. The project is designed to develop new knowledge and support the realisation of Curriculum for Wales by working with teachers and educational partners across the system to co-construct project outputs that will advance practical understandings of learning progression. Change led by those at the heart of the system provides the best opportunity for sharing expertise, building confidence, fostering coherence across the system and for supporting the different people and organisations who matter in education in Wales.

Project description

This research was commissioned to assess the extent to which a 35 hour working week had been achieved following the Teachers’ National Agreement, A Teaching Profession for the 21st Century (2001). An important element of the National Agreement was the formal adoption of a 35 hour working week as the basic contractual working time agreed for all teachers in Scotland, including those in promoted posts as well as those who were unpromoted.

Teaching

Teaching philosophy

My approach to teaching is informed by the work of Lawrence Stenhouse, Wolfgang Klafki, John Dewey and Lee Shulman. I do not see teaching as 'research-led' or data-driven, but as a scholarly activity that rests on reflexive engagement with theory, research and professional experience.
