Research in the School of Education

Leading the way in educational research

In the School of Education at Liverpool John Moores University we undertake a wide range of research into all aspects of education from early years, through primary and secondary education, to higher education. We have collaborative links with national and international research networks and long-term partnerships with local schools and colleges. Research in the School is overseen by the Liverpool Institute for Research in Education (LIFE) and we support the vibrant community of nearly 100 postgraduate research students (PhD and EdD) in the School of Education including many international students.

Our expertise is organised around research themes and research groups. Our themes are:

• Sports development and education
• Higher education research
• Educational support and development
• Philosophy, culture and history of education

Our research groups are:

• Digital Education and Society
• Educational Psychology
• Nature Related Pedagogies
• (Post)qualitative Research in Education
• Research-Informed Pedagogies
• Sustainability and Social Justice
• The Absolute Chemistry Research Group
