Biography

I am a member of the Cultures, Literacy, Inclusion and Pedagogy research and teaching group (CLIP) 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 around two themes: the development of pedagogical reasoning as a core professional knowledge in teacher education, and 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 students on the MDTechEd programme we have explored the use of David's Adaptive Subject Pedagogy Model as a way of supporting the development of pedagogical reasoning. As part of this research we are developing a methodology for researching our practice which builds on the work of Stepney and Thomson and Coghlan and Rigg to propose abductive reasoning as a way of exploring and understanding practice issues.

My research on assessment focuses on the Camau i'r Dyfodol project which works 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 is 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.

Methodology and analysis

I use qualitative interpretivist approaches in my research and scholarship. I have particular expertise in inductive thematic analysis and conducting narrative synthesis literature reviews.

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.

Professional culture among new entrants to the teaching profession

Project staff 

Moira Hulme (PI); Dely Eliot, Kay Livingston, Fiona Patrick

Project decription

This research was commissioned by the General Teaching Council for Scotland, in partnership with the Scottish Government and is based on an acknowledgement that the process of becoming a teacher has changed significantly since the 2001 National Agreement (A Teaching profession for the 21st Century). The key remit for the research was to explore the proposition that teachers who have qualified for registration over the past five years have a different outlook on teaching as a profession to that of their more experienced colleagues.

Teacher Working Time Research

Project staff 

Ian Menter (PI); Christine Forde, Margery McMahon, Alastair McPhee, Fiona Patrick, John Hall and Alison Devlin. 

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. 

Awarding body

Teaching

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

My teaching currently focuses on undergraduate and postgraduate lectures in the history of education, educational theory, practitioner enquiry, and assessment.
