The Ubuntu Network Research Internship Programme supports new ITE graduates to explore key research themes that are central to the work of the Network and the CGE/ESD sector. In 2023 interns worked in the areas of teacher educator identity and the challenges they face, professional and curriculum development, diversity & inclusion, etc.
See the intern profiles below.
June 8th
In Assembly 2023, we explored worldviews and the multitude of factors that influence how we see the world and respond to challenges presented within GCE. In this year’s Dialogue Day, the focus was to expand our thinking to explore such concepts as value orientations, self-perceptions, identity and belonging, and connections with the environment.
The day consisted of practical workshops which afforded a range of opportunities to hear about and experience different pedagogical approaches that prompt student teachers to interrogate global development issues. These included storytelling, visual arts and digital games.
More information on Dialogue Day can be found linked in the Handbook below.
The Ubuntu Network Research Meet will provide a space to discuss GCE related research ideas within Initial Teacher Education, and the potential for institutional and inter interinstitutional research projects.
