About

This site is for people working within and with  the 'Evaluating ways of capturing engagement processes' project to capture and publish their thoughts as  the projeect progresses.  The project itself has been made possible through seed-funding for Evidencing Engaged Research by the Public Engagement with Research Catalyst project.

The people working within and with the project are in 3 broad groups:

• researchers
• teachers
• students/pupils.

The process of co-research engagement undertaken by teachers, pupils and researchers needs understanding in more detail. We aim is to develop and evaluate a variety of engagement data collection tools (e.g. structured blog posts, vlogs, forms, twitter prompts, interviews) for their richness in collecting engagement changes and effects for teachers, students and researchers. Using an extension of an ongoing research project (JuxtaLearn) into non-STEM subjects (i.e. Arts, Humanities and English subjects) will increase the cost effectiveness and feasibility of this

project by re-using existing JuxtaLearn resources and staff for performance and video-making activities. The spread of subjects and engagement data collection tools should allow the team to develop an understanding of the process of engagement, and variations across curriculum and schools.
