MODULE 4: School Inquiry
4.1
Teacher as researcher
Throughout the three previous Course Modules, you have been asked to engage in a
range of forms of reflective practice. You have gathered various kinds of evidence as a
basis for systematic examination of your own teaching. This in itself could be seen as a
form of classroom research. In this Unit, you will be learning more about the
methodology of systematic classroom research in preparation for your own study of an
aspect of education in your own classroom or school.
4.2
Planning a Practitioner Research Project
As a final activity in the PGCE(I) course, we would like you to engage in
some research
activity as part of your professional practice. Forms of practitioner
research could be an
excellent vehicle both for critical reflection and the improvement of practice, throughout
your career. As a starting point for this cycle of professional development, we would like
you to plan and implement a research project in your own classroom or school.
