Research does matter: as illustrated by the posters at the National Annual Conference
journal contribution
posted on 2013-01-04, 13:38 authored by Lorraine CaleLorraine Cale, Anne ChappellFollowing the success of the poster presentations at last year's afPE National Physical
Education and School Sport Conference, they were included again at the Conference in
July. The presentations offered an opportunity for both new and experienced
researchers to share their recently completed research, or work in progress, as part of
the research strand. The posters were very well received and facilitated fruitful
discussions about research with colleagues in a relatively informal and relaxed setting.
In terms of process, individuals interested in presenting a poster at the conference were
invited to submit a short abstract to Lorraine Cale (Chair of the afPE Research
Committee) for consideration, including a brief overview of the aims, methodology,
findings and conclusion(s) of their research, and identifying their work with one of the
key conference strands of pedagogy, leadership and health.
Based on the submissions received, a total of 11 posters were accepted, with eight in
the pedagogy category, two relating to leadership and one focusing on health. Within
these, it was also great to see work from a range of educational institutions and other
organisations from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Those represented were
the University of Bedfordshire; University of Brighton; Brunel University; Dublin City
University; University of Edinburgh; University of Glasgow; Learn 2 Group; Leeds
Metropolitan University; Liverpool John Moores University; Loughborough University;
Monash University; Primary Professional Development Service, Dublin; Southampton
Solent University; and the University of Sussex.
