Research Overview
The Staff of the School of Inclusive and Special Education are engaged in a wide range of research projects on issues relating to varied aspects of inclusive education and special needs education, spanning for example, pedagogy, policy, practice, curriculum, assessment, transition, collaboration, leadership, teacher education, continuing professional development, life histories, student experience, and partnerships. Research projects vary in focus from individual, group, classroom, school, community and systemic levels, with some involving national and international collaboration, and some being supported by the CREATE21 platform within the IoE. Research undertaken by the school contributes to the dynamic growth of theory and practice in the fields of inclusive education and special needs education while commissioned projects contribute to policy developments in the Irish context.
The school welcomes research students at Masters, Professional Doctorate and PhD levels.
