About

Kate's research interests revolve around supporting teachers and learners in talking about experiences of learning and teaching. She is particularly interested in methodologies for gathering pupils' views on curriculum and learning, with a particular focus on:

o visual methodologies for gathering the learners' perspective of teaching and learning
o learners' views on how they learn and their thinking about learning (Metacognition)
o ways in which teachers can be supported in generating talk about learning with learners
o learners' reflections on ability grouping strategies
o learners' experiences during the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies
o how ICT can facilitate talk about learning
o the experiences of learners identified as having special eduactional needs in the primary school
o learning to learn: its meaning and its application in schools for all learners
o practitioner enquiry through action research as a method for supporting teacher learning about the teaching and learning process in their classrooms
