CT3. Education Research and Enquiry

This assessment unit is suitable for: Practising classroom teachers and middle leaders (practising school leaders should undertake the Education Research and Inquiry Certificate (Leadership) instead).

The Education Research and Inquiry Certificate has been developed specifically for practising classroom teachers. The content will guide you through the process of practitioner inquiry, supporting you to plan and implement a piece of evidence-informed inquiry focused on a specific area of classroom practice. You will undertake a comprehensive literature review to support your inquiry, build your understanding of a range of research methods and approaches to analysing data, then carry out your inquiry project.

Please note: It is a requirement of this assessment that you discuss the ethical implications of carrying out your project with your headteacher and gain your school’s approval prior to commencing your inquiry.
