I see Susie Andretta has sent out another call for participants for her research proposal to examine the experience of social media and independent learning by librarians and teachers operating in UK secondary schools. She’d like to examine both of these professional groups to assess the extent of collaboration between them in encouraging students to become independent learners.
Sounds interesting. If you haven't seen the call then here it is below.
Dear all,
As I have received a couple of late responses to my initial call I thought I might resend this in case few more come forward.
I am preparing a research proposal for the AHRC/ESRC to examine the experience of social media and independent learning by librarians and teachers operating in UK secondary schools. I’d like to examine both of these professional groups to assess the extent of collaboration between them in encouraging students to become independent learners.
My aim is to set up a network of teachers and librarians from which I can draw samples for an online survey and 1 to 1 interviews (these could be done face to face, by phone or by email depending on your availability). Pending on the successful outcome of my bid, I would expect the survey and interviews to run in the latter part of 2012. Rest assured that the investigation would adhere to the British Educational Research Association’s ethical guidelines, ensuring your anonymity during the stages of data collection, data analysis and the dissemination of the findings in academic journals and professional publications.
