The practical wisdom of students’ research in education. Making experience matter again

This first volume of the Strathclyde Student Education Research Journal foregrounds student research as a useful and practical form of educational inquiry. The volume thus sets out to contribute to ongoing debates in ways that matter to Scottish education by unsettling traditional research orthodoxies. The collective research presented in SSERJ Volume one provides a powerful and coherent message for policy and practice: Scottish education must strengthen its commitment to equity, relational practice, lived experience, and evidence-informed approaches, while addressing inconsistencies between policy ideology and classroom actuality. With a forensic and phronetic focus on actual daily practices in education, the articles within articulate student teachers’ experiences through stories from the field to build situated understandings and avenues to reasoned praxis.
