Student Partner in Educational Research

The Student as Partners in Educational Research is an ongoing initiative sponsored by eSTEeM: The OU Centre for STEM Pedagogy whereby OU undergraduate or postgraduate students are supported to participate as partners in STEM Educational research with OU staff, alongside their studies. eSTEeM manages a range of Educational Research projects with the aim of improving the student experience. Projects involves research connected to assessment, accessibility, educational innovations, tutorial support and many other areas of STEM pedagogy. Most of our projects benefit significantly from very close involvement with our own students and eSTEem actively encourages students to participate as members of project teams. Students who actively participate in this initiative via a recognised eSTEeM project are entitled to be awarded this microbadge.
