Kia Nanawe Ake | Research and Inquiry sessions

arrow_downward

Kia Nanawe Ake I Research and Inquiry sessions bring together passionate people who are digging into big educational questions. It’s a unique opportunity to share how you are testing new ideas, inquiring, and disrupting the status quo, with other educators, researchers and innovators.

A forum for individuals or teams, from across the education ecosystem, these sessions are designed to create a space where:

  • curiosity, critique and new possibilities are the focus
  • investigations into puzzles of practice are shared
  • practice-based research and akomanga innovations are explored.

All presentations are peer-reviewed, meaning they have been scrutinised by education and research experts to ensure rigour and relevance. Session applicants are likely to be undertaking, or have recently completed, one of the following:

  • Teacher inquiries
  • A research project, based in classroom, akomanga or ECE settings
  • Study award projects
  • Teacher-led Innovation Fund (TLIF) projects
  • Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI) projects
  • Dr Vince Ham eFellowship projects
  • Postgraduate research
  • Sabbatical projects

Session format

  • Interactive workshop or presentation (25 or 55 minutes option for each)

Fully integrated into the conference programme, Research and Inquiry sessions can be booked as part of delegates' personal breakout selection process.
