The ESRC Education Funding Call
The programme addresses key challenges in policy and practice in different parts of the UK.
Projects will make a significant scientific contribution by strengthening the evidence base underpinning research-informed practice in education, leading to improvements in professional and policymaker knowledge.
By developing a more robust understanding of the factors affecting the quality of teaching and learning, project outcomes are intended to have positive impacts on the lives of children and their families over the long term.
In line with the overall programme, this project:
-
involves joint working with practitioners, policymakers and other stakeholders to bridge boundaries between research, policy and practice in new ways
-
considers various aspects of local, regional and national contexts that help determine what works, for whom, in what circumstances and why
-
addresses issues in policy and practice that are relevant to the devolved nature of primary and secondary education in the UK and the different priorities of the four nations and jurisdictions of the UK.
