Blogging as data gathering, the first year student researcher experience and an introduction to research grants are amongst the topics that will be covered at a new event.
Students as Researchers: Novice to Expert is the first annual ESCalate Student Conference.
It will explore the value and purpose of small-scale personal research in education for both individuals and groups.
Professor James C Conroy will deliver the key-note talk: Negotiating tricky corners – becoming a researcher in education.
Professor Conroy is Dean in the Faculty of Education at University of Glasgow, and his professional interests include ethics, philosophy and theology in education, and education leadership.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to hear students and tutors, including ESCalate student grant holders, discussing their different approaches to working alongside each other to deliver original and relevant results.
ESCalate is part of the Higher Education Academy. It works with staff in education departments to enhance student learning in programmes throughout the UK.
