Research Skills 1

Welcome to Research Skills for the New Curriculum Level 1. This course is part of the Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning programme funded by British Council and UK Aid.

During this course, you will:

  • Look at contexts and cultures and how they influence us
  • Understand the concept of ‘unlearning’ and how it can help with your research
  • Learn the basics of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as compared to traditional research approaches.
  • Plan how to put your learning into practice in the new curriculum

There are about two hours of online learning followed by a live (face-to-face or Zoom) session with one of our experienced trainers to help you to reflect, answer any questions, and to put your learning into practice.

Before we get started, please take the British Council  if you haven’t done so already.

Appreciative Inquiry

The “Am I European?” project aims to compare and mediate between different concepts of identity. In our study, we have looked at perspectives on European identity across countries and compared perspectives. Our job now is to support young people to learn from one another, especially ideas that we disagree with.

During this course, you will:

  • Reflect on how contexts and cultures has influenced your students and whether this has changed during the project
  • Understand the concept of ‘unlearning’ and how it can help with your evidence collection at the end of the projects
  • Learn the basics of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) as compared to traditional research approaches and use it to help students negotiate between opinions

There are about two hours of online learning
