Research interests

Research focus

My research and scholarship focuses on: teacher education knowledges and assessment and Neoliberalism and its impact on teacher education/higher education. My theoretical focus is the work of Michel Foucault, particularly his ideas on care of the self and how this concept helps us to explore teacher professional identity formation in Neoliberal times.

Research network

I am a member of the University of Glasgow Educational Assessment Network (UGEAN) which is part of the Robert Owen Centre for Educational Change. 

Methodological expertise

My empirical research currently focuses on approaches to action research. I have expertise in qualitative research and inductive thematic analysis. This expertise informs my own research, my doctoral supervision, and my research methods teaching (Open Studies on the EdD and Educational Enquiry on the MEDUC).

Action research

I am currently working with colleagues on two action research projects to inform my teaching and promote transformational learning for teaching students:

1) Adaptive Subject Pedagogy: A New Model for Generating and Mediating Approaches to Subject Learning

Project team: David Morrison-Love, Fiona Patrick

Begun in 2018 and ongoing, this project has developed a new andragogical model to support Design & Technology Education students to integrate theories and research evidence with their practitioner reflections on learning and teaching. The aim is to support students to generate evidence-informed subject pedagogies. The model directly addresses the insufficiency of generic pedagogical approaches for Design & Technology as well as the theory-practice divide in teacher education. The model draws on research in the fields of: content and pedagogical knowledge for teaching; reflective practice; learning progressions; and learning transformations. It is also informed by the work the CAMAU Project and the University of Glasgow Assessment Network.  ITE students on the Design & Technology Education programme at the University of Glasgow are working collaboratively with us to shape and refine this model.

2) Art educators' evolving identities: Exploring the intersections between discipline, knowledge, and self.

Project team: Fiona Patrick, Fiona McGregor

Begun in 2018 and now in phase 3, this research explores the professional development journeys made by student teachers of Art and Design during their PGDE year. The project seeks to understand the extent to which teacher education supports them to develop knowledge of art practices, potentials and pedagogies. It also explores the ways in which we might better support student reflection on their development as teachers of Art and Design. We are also interested in students' prior identities as artists and whether these influence their approaches to teaching. This project holds potential to inform Art and Design teacher education, and also to support student teachers of other subjects to think about their approaches to: the use of artefacts; the self of the teacher as a resource; creative use of physical and temporal spaces; and creative approaches to lesson structures, content and pedagogies.
