ERFPO and MOE’s Corporate Research Office organised a face-to-face Engagement Session on 24 August 2023, Thursday, 3pm – 5pm. The session was held at w MOE HQ Buona Vista.
This engagement session aimed to foster collaboration between researchers and MOE practitioners in the 5th tranche of Education Research Funding Programme (ERFP). The focus was on discussion and co-construction of potential research proposals. At the session, MOE practitioners provided details about MOE’s research priorities, and researchers shared preliminary ideas relevant to MOE’s research needs.
The GERA areas highlighted at the ERFP engagement session were:
- Area 3: Understand and improve pedagogical practices and environmental factors for optimal CCE and socio-emotional development, with particular emphasis on research that will support development of 21CC in these affective areas
- Area 4: Effective design and deployment of blended learning and AI to optimise learning
During the session, researchers received information, including details on specific ‘problems of practice/policy’ (PoPs) of interest.
Overall, researchers found this session to be a great opportunity to network and collaborate with other IHL and MOE colleagues.
