Empowering Researchers in Further Education

Klappentext Traditionally regarded as the Cinderella sector, further education (FE) is not yet recognized for its research potential and, if researched at all, tends to be 'researched on' rather than proactively enabled to carry out research itself. Although Britain's Learning and Skills Council's FE and Post-16 sector encompasses around six million learners, four thousand providers and 7.3 billion worth of provision, little research in the sector uses the extensive data-rich client base it serves. Few, if any, in-house research findings inform its professional practice. Zusammenfassung This text constructs a new theoretical framework for specialist further education research culture! recognizing the unique contribution to research of FE practitioner-researchers. It identifies good practice through a series of case studies linked to appropriate and innovative research methods.
