Classroom Investigation for Evidence-Informed Practice

Classroom investigation is a structured process where educators or researchers systematically explore questions or issues related to teaching, learning, or assessment within real classroom environments. It draws from the principles of practitioner inquiry and educational psychology, aiming to generate practical, evidence-informed insights that can improve practice. EPSY623 invites postgraduate students in education and psychology to explore how small-scale, classroom-based investigations can be used to strengthen teaching, learning, and assessment practices. The module focuses on how educators and researchers can investigate teaching contexts by collecting and interpreting meaningful evidence to inform decisions. Students will learn how to frame research questions, collect classroom data ethically and purposefully, and interpret potential findings in context.
