Duffy, Kate, Hidson, Elizabeth and Baumber, John (2025) Schools are the solution – not the problem: Building a culture of action research for sustainable, meaningful and impactful improvement in education. In: Whole Education Summer Conference 2025: Better for Everyone, 30 June - 01 July, Warwick University, UK. (Unpublished)

Abstract

This session will explain the principles and practice of the UoS InterAction Model © for fostering ‘radical collegiality’ between the school and higher education sectors.
Underpinned by a commitment to relational and co-constructed research and knowledge exchange, our model proposes a mutual research culture. The aim is to ensure that knowledge is grounded in our lived experience.
The session will share case study examples from work with schools, and participants will have an opportunity to explore their own research questions and reflect upon the value of engaging as a UoS Research School.
