Abstract
We are delighted to publish Volume Two of the Hibernia College Education Papers. On our programme, students complete a 10,000-word dissertation as part of their research module. They choose a research topic from four different theme areas: (1) Teaching, Learning and Assessment,(2) ICT, (3) Psychological, Sociological, and Historical,(4) Inclusion and Differentiation. This year, our top-performing graduate teachers who began the programme in March 2015 and September 2015 selected a variety of different areas from dance, visual arts, bereavement support, Autism, Gaeilge, visual literacy, standardised testing and many more. The variety of interesting projects are testament to the hard work and dedication of our graduate teachers, who produced excellent research whilst simultaneously completing a demanding course. The purpose of this publication is to provide a means of research dissemination for our graduate teachers in order to provide a snapshot of their research activity while they were studying in the School of Education in Hibernia College. Our student teachers explored topical issues that permeate the current landscape of Irish education and endeavored to develop their knowledge of a key area within education. During the research journey our student-teachers were guided and supported by their research supervisors. The dedication of these research supervisors has not gone unnoticed and we are grateful to them for the professional way in which they have encouraged and enabled our student-teachers to reach their full potential as they began to see themselves as both teachers and researchers. The value of research in education cannot be understated. We are proud to disseminate this important and thought-provoking publication on the key issues that our student teachers have explored
