RESEARCH

The Centre for Research into Practice works with a range of partners, including other universities, the Welsh Government, charities, schools within the Swansea University Schools’ Partnership, local authorities and consortia, to build research capacity and contribute towards evidence-informed decisions in education. THE CENTRE HAS FOUR GOALS: Raise awareness of the Centre’s news and activities. Develop high-quality resources to support educational research. Build educational research capacity. Strengthen partnerships for collaborative research and professional enquiry.

The School’s aims are to produce collaborative, innovative, and multidisciplinary research by working with some of the brightest and best researchers from around the country. We build life-long connections to our research community, collaborative partners and institutions, and students through embedded partnership working and alumni relationships. As a result, the School of Social Sciences is home to major research projects that play an important role in shaping the economy and informing government policies. The Centre for Research into Practice (CRIP) is the University’s main avenue through which educational research is conducted. It has been established at a time of renewed interest in educational research and a drive for evidence- informed practice. In carrying out research, the Department of Education and Childhood Studies is committed to the University’s core values of professionalism, collaboration, and care.
