Educational Assessment

However the notion of being a research-intensive department of education goes well beyond external evaluations of our research and its impact. It underpins the way we scrutinise and develop the postgraduate courses that we offer. It is embedded in the expectations we have of the tutors to provide students with sessions taught by experienced, research-informed practitioners. It is epitomized by our collaboration with other practitioners, policy-makers and those in industry. It is fundamental to our commitment to reach out to schools and colleges, locally, nationally and internationally, with a vision of transformative educational environments which make policy decisions based on research evidence and evaluations of effectiveness.
