½¿É«µ¼º½

We are recruiting a SIG Convenor for the ½¿É«µ¼º½ Practitioner Research SIG to help lead the SIG over the next 3 years. 

Role & responsibilities of SIG Convenors:

• Plan & oversee SIG activities, potentially delivering an annual programme of activity
• Engage members and encourage participation
• Represent SIG members (not personal views)
• Ensure compliance with ½¿É«µ¼º½ policies
• Work with ½¿É«µ¼º½ staff for support and delivery.

The ½¿É«µ¼º½ Practitioner Research SIG is a supportive and collaborative community of practitioner researchers working in a diverse range of contexts. It brings together those with a special interest in all those (closely related) methodologies in which research is an integral part of practice and plays a significant role in promoting the publication and dissemination of practitioner research studies as well as studies which focus on the methodological approaches to practitioner research.

Research interests

• Methodological approaches to practitioner research
• The relationship between ethics and practitioner research
• Practice development
• Evidence-based practice

SIG aims

• To develop and foster a close, collaborative and diverse community of practitioner researchers.
• To contribute to the generation of theory, knowledge and expertise about practitioner research.
• To provide ‘critical friendship’ to ½¿É«µ¼º½ members and others engaged in practitioner research with the intention of establishing broadly agreed ‘fitness for purpose’ quality criteria for such research.
• To promote the principle of a spectrum of educational research that will enable stronger links to be established and sustained between small-scale practitioner research, larger-scale academic research and local and national decision-making.
• To establish links with regional, national and international bodies that have a leadership role in practitioner research, for example, The Chartered College of Teaching. 
• To give prominence to practitioner research within ½¿É«µ¼º½â€™s activities, for example through contributing articles to Research Intelligence and BERJ and through organising accessible events which appeal to our membership and help to meet the overall aims of the SIG.

As part of our wider commitment to greater equality and diversity at all levels of the organisation, we continue to seek increased representation from members with a Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) background. In acknowledging the structural inequalities and unjust power imbalances that affect our members, we wish to be proactive in addressing this within our own structures.
