Course reviews

What have other teachers said about how Classroom research helped them?

"I designed a small-scale classroom research project to monitor student engagement during group work, using observation and reflective journals. This helped me adjust my teaching strategies to better support active participation."

Course participant, Moldova

"I learned to formulate better questions to explore and reflect over my teaching approach."

Course participant, Mexico

"One way I applied what I learned from the "Classroom Research" course was by conducting a small investigation into how different seating arrangements affected student focus during group activities. I observed and recorded student behavior over two weeks and noticed that mixed-ability pairs helped improve collaboration and on-task behavior in my Grade 2 class. This simple research helped me make a meaningful change in how I organize my classroom, based on actual evidence from my own teaching."

Course participant, Romania

Hi Sahar Asharioon

Enrollment for this course is now closed, so if you haven't already registered I'm afraid you won't be able to access the modules.
