| The Teaching and Learning Research Programme has six distinct aims. They relate to performing and promoting excellent educational research and ensuring that it is used to enhance learning. The aims are:
Learning
The TLRP conducts research with the potential to
improve outcomes
for learners in a very wide range of UK contexts across the lifecourse.
The
Programme explores synergies between
different research approaches and aims to build UK capacity
in conducting high quality educational research.
TLRP
is committed to the application of findings to policy and
practice. We work to maximise the impact of our research and to present it in an accessible way.
Outcomes
TLRP studies a broad range of learning outcomes. These include both the acquisition of skill, understanding, knowledge and qualifications and the development of attitudes, values and identities relevant to a learning society.
Lifecourse
TLRP supports research projects on many ages and stages in education, training and lifelong
learning.
The Programme is concerned with patterns of success and difference, inclusion and exclusion through the lifecourse.
Enrichment
The TLRP is committed to engaging users in its work. It works in all disciplines and sectors of education and uses a wide range of appropriate methodology. We cooperate with other researchers within and beyond the UK whenever it is appropriate.
Expertise
TLRP works to enhance capacity for all forms of research on teaching and learning, and for research-informed policy and practice.
Improvement
The TLRP works to develop the UK knowledge base on teaching and learning and to make sure that the knowledge it develops is applied in practice and policy.
