The newly formed UCD Library Green Group wanted to foster cross campus collaboration as they believed this would assist in realising their green goals. They saw the Learning Enhancement Project as a direct route to the student cohort who, motivated by their passion for the planet, would be willing to help the Library with this task.
Initiative
Treading the tightrope: Developing inquiring professionals
About this initiative
This project aimed to enhance the design and delivery of the Professional Research Paper (PRP) module within the Professional Master of Education (PME) programme at University College Cork. The PRP module introduces student teachers to practitioner research and culminates in a research paper based on their classroom practice during school placement. While the module supports the integration of theory and practice, sustaining an inquiry stance among student teachers remains a challenge, particularly given the pressures of school placement and classroom management.
