In the UK assessment of the quality of academic research to be carried out in 2013, new criteria have been introduced which relate to impact and reach of the research. *UK Research Excellence Framework Criteria for the 2013 research assessment exercise.
Workshop Two: MESH Mapping Educational Specialist knowHow - Ensuring school teaching is an evidence based profession
For education professionals: one hour
Ensuring school teaching is an evidence based profession - meeting the OECD challenge for effective knowledge management in school-based education.This workshop will focus on new ways of working and opportunities for international collaboration through MESH - The Mapping Educational Specialist knowHow project (www.meshguides.org)
Workshop Three: Join the Translational Research Community - experience writing a MESH map of your research or research you know of which needs translating into practice
For education professionals: one hour
Translating academic research reports into MESHGuides for learners, teachers, trainee teachers and policy makers can be relatively quick for those who have their research at their fingertips. At the end of this workshop, you will have the top level structure for a MESHGuide in a specialist area. Groups of educators wishing to work on an area of common interest are welcome. If you don’t have research of your own, then if you bring a major research
report which has influenced you you will be able to turn it in to a MESHGuide.
We welcome developers of MESHGuides which focus on threshold or troublesome concepts, on areas which give learners most difficulty and on areas which are most likely to make a difference to student attainment.
