Understanding the needs of learners

By engaging in research, staff can better understand the needs of learners. First, as research engagement is a learning process, it will remind you of the challenges and rewards of being a learner. Second, by asking learners about their experiences, you will gain an insight into their point of view. Third, by undertaking a research enquiry involving pupils, you will demonstrate that you value learning yourself. Some of the teachers involved in the NFER programme thought that being involved in enquiry-based learning had helped their school to become more of a learning community where learning was a shared enterprise.
