Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice - PREP

Övrigt konferensbidrag, 2022

Ambitious educators try different forms of interventions in their teaching to see what the effects are. However, they often do not have enough time, or data, to meet the requirement of regular educational research. In this talk, we describe a program for studying and improving teaching practices that uses the activities that educators often already do when developing and evaluating courses and assessing students’ knowledge. We call this Pragmatic Research on Educational Practice, or PREP for short. PREP aims to inspire educators to support each other in the process and share the knowledge they gain to add value to the teaching community and themselves without adding too much to their workload.
