Research themes

Over the year MirandaNet Fellows have led in a number of research areas where they have tested out established methodologies and developed new ones that are particularly related to professional learning in communities, face to face and online.

• Braided Learning: a approach to collaborative knowledge creation relating to activity online in text and using digital concept maps
• Action research: MirandaNet Fellows as co-researchers making changes in their teaching and learning techniques as part of a research project.
• Critical incidents: a qualitative methodology that concentrates on an episode that gives the co-researcher a completely new perspective on a pedagogical challenge.
