• The relations between art and design tutors' conceptions of their professional practice and their teaching practice;
• The pedagogic discourse of nursing;
• Threshold concepts in prosthetics and orthotics;
• Midwives use of a personal learning system to support their continuing professional development after graduation;
• How the practices of nurse educators structure the curriculum;
• Students' and tutors' experiences of learning support in higher education;
• Student identities in higher education;
• The research student experience in higher education;
• How academics experience the relations between their academic work and parenting
• Chinese students' experiences of UK higher education
• The student experience of postgraduate marketing education
• The assessment of competence
• Conceptions of mathematics of primary initial teacher training students
• Academics' conceptions of the first year experience in higher education

Thompson, Leanne

Perception and information processing in "normal" or SEN / disabled groups. This could involve a focus on information presentation in a variety of modalities (vision, touch, audition etc.) or a focus on perceptual processes themselves(e.g. during reading). Alternatively the focus could be on perceptual processes resulting from various types of impairment (e.g. blindness, autism etc.). I'm particularly keen on exploring the educational implications (i.e. impact on learning & memory) of different types of information (visual, tactual, auditory etc.), whether this is due to a particular SEN or just preference.
