Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Mathematics (STEAM) Research Group

We engage in research related to pedagogy and learning across the curriculum subjects within STEAM contexts. The various projects bring together academics and practitioners working on a range of learning and pedagogic issues in order to facilitate change in practice in schools, colleges and higher education through evidence based-research and/or policy developments at local, regional or national levels.

We aim to:

• undertake and promote high-quality research and scholarship in the field of STEAM pedagogy and learning
• disseminate its research findings widely, through various means, including publications, electronic media, conferences and seminars
• develop both critical and creative perspectives within STEAM
• promote research focused on both practice and learning
• seek funding for research from a wide range of sources
• facilitate a research and discussion forum that will meet regularly throughout the academic year
• liaise with other research groups both within the department and beyond
• develop active networks both nationally and internationally.
