Mobile App

One of our key outputs in this project will be the development of an innovative mobile app where teachers and researchers can connect and be supported to produce, share and use small scale school based research. The aim is for the app to be used by teachers in schools to support their practice and ultimately improve the learning outcomes for students.

What have we done so far?

Back in March 2020 we got together as team and had a go at drawing the main functions of an app. We did this in three separate groups and came up with some very different ideas! We then got together and shared these and started to unpick why and how the app might be used.

We used this initial activity to help us build case scenarios that we can share with teachers in series of focus groups which we are going to run across the partner countries.

The purpose of the focus groups is to explore both the themes identified in the scoping exercise and our initial planning ideas about a Mobile App and find out what teachers think about these. It's really important to involve teachers from this early point so that they can shape the tool that they will eventually use.

In fact this is an essential part of the development so that the Mobile App can be fit for purpose... as determined by the teachers themselves.
