Learner experiences in education settings
This research theme focuses on learner experiences within a range of education settings, e.g. schools and universities. This includes learner experiences of discipline-specific pedagogy (maths, science and literacy). Our work also explores the formation of young people's 'choices' about post-compulsory subjects and future careers.
