Our Research
Our research examines the overlapping themes of curriculum and pedagogy. We are interested in young people’s experiences of curriculum including both learning and attitudinal outcomes. We also study the role of the teacher in supporting student learning. A key research focus is the development and enactment of education policy around curriculum, pedagogy and assessment within formal education settings.
