The main focus of the Teaching, Learning and Professional Lives Research and Enterprise Group is: teachers and other educators; the pedagogical approaches and strategies they use across different sectors (primary, secondary, tertiary) and subject specialisms; the learning activities, processes and experiences that occur as a result; the nature of their professional lives and development; and the wider education policy contexts within which these all take place. The REG includes two overlapping and interconnected thematic strands on ‘teaching careers, mentoring and professional development’ and ‘understanding teaching and learning’.
