• Knowledge Brokering Clinic

  45 minutes

  This is a research clinic session and will last 45 minutes. It is focused on knowledge brokering in educational research, meaning you can ask me anything from practical, problem-based, or classroom questions to political, policy-based or managerial questions to philosophical, theoretical or conceptual issues and everything in between.For instance, you can bring personal/professional issues and problems relating to:-education research as a field: what it can, and cannot, do, for policy and practice-what particular articles or pieces of research may mean or imply-how to find, access, review, select, or weigh educational research-how you feel/are positioned in relation to education research-how you may currently or may like to use education research in different ways-what the research may/may not suggest about a particular question-tools, practices and tips for working with education research-any other issues relating to education, research, policy and practiceYou have the right to leave the session at any time, to ask that I do not use all or some of the information in the session for my research, and/or to ask further questions if anything here is not clear to you (the principle of informed consent).You will be asked to broadly characterise your job role as teacher, researcher, teacher educator, knowledge broker, or other education professional, and the research will be clearly situated in the UK context, but otherwise you will be anonymised in the research process. This means that I will:· Take care to keep the recordings secure, and not share them with anyone except my supervisor· Transcribe the session but take out any information that may make you identifiable, such as location, institution or organisation and names, and keep this transcription secure and only share with my supervisorYou will:bring me questions related to educational researchremain professional and courteoushave reasonable expectations of my time and book several sessions if neededI will:remain professional and courteousbe clear about the limitations of my knowledge and the limitations of the research as I understand ittake care to answer questions thoughtfullyPlease note: In this session, I am offering professional advice/collaboration, for free, in return for the session being recorded so that I can analyse the problems and solutions, themes and issues that arise during the session, for the purposes of researching the field of educational knowledge brokering. However, it is worth noting that there exists a potentially blurred boundary exists between paid work and research here and I would like to be clear. This is a service that sometimes I have charged for in the past and might charge for in the future, depending on whether:-the collaborators are commercial organisations rather than academic collaborators, not-for-profits/charities, or individuals such as teachers -the service is extended, needing significant and sustained time and effort from me-I have been approached for the purposes of ‘freelance work’ or ‘consultancy’ rather than research, advice, or support

  This is a research clinic session and will last 45 minutes. It is focused on knowledge brokering in educational research, meaning you can ask me anything from practical, problem-based, or classroom questions to political, policy-based or managerial questions to philosophical, theoretical or conceptual issues and everything in between.
