Overview

The Pedagogical Research (PedR) Group aims to promote, support and develop pedagogical research activity across the University. The benefits of a well-established PedR community include the development and embedding of an evidence informed approach to teaching and learning practice and an enhanced reputation for high quality scholarly activity. Part of the PedR network we have ‘Teaching Conversations with cake‘ which is an informal opportunity to hear about, share and discuss evidence-informed approaches to teaching and learning practice.

Vision:

• Promote the benefits of embedding a research informed approach in teaching and learning activities
• Support the development of teaching and learning practice by facilitating the development of skills to undertake pedagogic research
• Develop a community of practice that benefits from close collaboration with our National Teaching Fellows and Fellows of the Higher Education Academy (covering Associate, Fellow, Senior and Principal Fellowships)
• Mentor those wishing to engage with pedagogical research as part of their teaching and learning practice
• Collate resources, good practice and provide opportunities to celebrate institutional research outputs internally, nationally and internationally.
