Evidence

This MESHGuide draws on a range of key literature in the field of social science research ethics. Also its design has been informed by lessons learned from my own research, which has focussed on the following areas:

  • Developing effective collaborative learning in science
  • Factors influencing learning through play in the early years
  • Student teachers’ engagement with research and its impact on their developing practice
  • Constructivist informed practice in science within initial teacher education
  • Creativity in learning and teaching
