Abstract

The BERA Guide to Practitioner Research is a companion guide for those who see themselves as practitioner researchers or those who are interested in becoming practitioner researchers within educational settings.

This chapter presents three examples of practitioner research (PR) in different school contexts in England. The authors have been playful with the term PR engagement, using here the term ‘engaging with research’ for practitioners who critique existing research, and ‘engaging in research’ for practitioners conducting their own research. As well as more traditional modes of research engagement, a more inclusive research practice is presented here: ‘re-searching’ one’s own practice through reflective activities (Marsden, 2020).
