Fwd: Call for papers for a special issue of Educational Action Research Journal on Pedagogical Action Research

 

Pedagogical Action Research (PedAR): Researching learning and teaching practice in higher education

 

Guest Editors:   Lin Norton, Liverpool Hope University

                           Lydia Arnold, Harper Adams University

 

Invitation

Educational Action Research is seeking articles that explore the contribution of action research to teaching or learning practice, or the student experience, in higher education. We are particularly interested in articles that push at the boundaries of HE pedagogy, such as students as partners, inter-disciplinary challenges, and articles that show the impact of action research on a variety of stakeholders. We would welcome specific accounts of action research studies, and studies which are about action research and its impact. Methodological rigour in action research and rich reflective insights will be more important than scale, which can be local, cross-institutional or international.  For further guidance, we would draw attention to the article by Convery & Townsend (2018).  Submissions will be welcome from HE and also HE in FE and, while we are looking for submissions that focus on the development of practice, we would encourage submissions that challenge and question established practices as well.
