Across all MSET-Ed programs there is an explicit focus on methodological innovation and theory practice relations. The annual CAR symposium is a continuing test bed for the group’s research deliberations.
Contemporary Approaches to Research
MSET-Ed researchers are dedicated to methodological innovation and have demonstrated strength in a range of contemporary research approaches. We hold an annual ‘Contemporary Approaches to Research’ (CAR) symposium which focuses on methodological innovation and on-the-ground problematics of research practice, out of which an edited book series has emerged. MSET-Ed researchers have strengths in: Collaborative classroom research, video research, micro-ethnographic analysis, design-based research methodology, evaluative research, cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT), pragmatist semiotics, self-study of teacher education, post-qualitative, quantitative, and global comparative research.
Theoretical perspectives
MSET-Ed researchers are leaders in conceptualising theory-practice relations, and the development of new theoretical perspectives. This focus on theoretical and methodological innovation is expressed in journal editorial work.
