Education Research Director 2021

通过ESRC 2019年交付计划，ESRC将投资于一项资助教育研究的计划，旨在建立跨学科研究能力，并通过重点关注i）教师，他们的培训，供应和保留以及ii）使用技术来提高教学和学习。作为教育研究主任作用的一部分，这里概述的活动计划旨在确保通过这一资金流授予的研究项目具有最大的影响力，并可以考虑支持英国四个母国教育运作的不同研究，政策和实践生态系统。它们对教师专业精神的理解、它们采用的治理安排以及它们为政策制定者、从业者和研究人员创造的互动机会都有微妙的不同，最后，他们可以呼吁研究社区的深度和连通性，以产生和传播相关的研究证据给那些需要它的各方。关于教育研究计划，本建议旨在帮助更明确地界定教育研究的战略目标，这些目标建立在不同类型的工作伙伴关系中并通过这些伙伴关系实现，并加强研究、政策和实践领域之间的知识流动。为此，将设法让利益攸关方和项目团队参与思考涉及其不同利益和经验的核心议题，并利用这些讨论更充分地阐述支持目前研究传播方法的变革理论，确定可以在哪些方面予以加强。

Through the ESRC 2019 deliver plan, the ESRC will invest in a programme of funded research in education, designed to build interdisciplinary research capacity and enhance outcomes from education through a focus on i) teachers, their training, supply and retention and ii) the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning. The programme of activities outlined here as part of the role of Education Research Director is intended to ensure that research projects awarded through this funding stream have maximum reach, and can take into account the different research, policy and practice ecosystems that support education functioning in the four home nations of the UK. These are subtly different in the terms in which they understand teacher professionalism, the governance arrangements they employ and the opportunities they create for policymakers, practitioners and researchers to interact, and finally, the depth and connectivity of the research communities they can call on to produce and disseminate relevant research evidence to those parties who need it. By placing understanding of those differences at the heart of the research programme, this proposal is intended to help more clearly define strategic goals for education research built in and through different kinds of working partnerships, and enhance knowledge flows between the fields of research, policy and practice. This will be achieved by finding ways of engaging stakeholders and project teams in reflecting on core topics that speak to their different interests and experience, and using those discussions to more fully elaborate the theories of change that underpin current approaches to research diffusion, identifying where they could be strengthened.
