The Practitioner Research SIG hosted an event on 20th April 2023 in which our speaker discussions centred around the idea that guiding ethical principles for education research need to be both robust and flexible, innovative and equitable. This event will therefore be an invitation to the members of both our SIGs to share examples of their good ethical practice (either their own or that of others) so that we can better understand how good ethical practice looks in the diverse and messy world of practice development research.
We will be putting out a call for case studies that explain the context and aims of a piece of practitioner research but which clearly elaborate on how the ethical process was handled. We wish to illustrate how it was planned, implemented and modified to meet the realities of practitioner research in context. We would also like to hear the reflections of researchers after the event, what would they do differently next time?
The case studies will be the focus of the event with ample time for discussions and questions to the presenters. We aim to create meaningful professional learning materials from these discussions.
