In this episode of ‘I Can See CLRiE Now’, we have the pleasure of hearing from graduate researchers who have members of CLRiE. They share their experiences about conducting research in the field, the challenges they faced, and the changes they hope to see in the future of education research. These young researchers are driving progress and pushing boundaries with their innovative approaches and unwavering passion. With their unique perspectives and valuable input, we hope to gain a deeper understanding of research in education.
This episode features a group of researchers who delve into their extensive global research and share their perspectives and experiences. They discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their research, including the challenges they faced and the strategies they used to overcome them. Additionally, they provide valuable insights on how to prepare for conducting research abroad, sharing their expertise and knowledge on the topic.
In this episode of 'I Can See CLRiE Now', we explore the 'Thriving on Campus' initiative in greater detail, with a particular emphasis on the crucial knowledge mobilization component of the project. Through this discussion, we aim to provide our listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the various ways in which the knowledge gained from this project is being disseminated and applied in real-world settings, ultimately benefiting individuals and communities on and off campus.
In this episode of 'I Can See CLRiE Now', we take a closer look at the 'Thriving on Campus' project, which is a comprehensive study being conducted across Ontario to examine the experiences, wellbeing, and academic development of 2SLGBTQ+ university students. We had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Michael Woodford and his team to explore the project's findings and the potential impacts it could have on the 2SLGBTQ+ community. This study fills a significant knowledge gap in Canada by providing a comprehensive understanding of the 2SLGBTQ+ student population, which has long been underrepresented in large-scale national studies. Ultimately, this project aims to contribute to the development of postsecondary education policies and programs that will improve the academic and overall wellbeing outcomes of 2SLGBTQ+ students. Today’s conversation focuses on the research methodology, survey design, participants and key findings from the study.
In this episode of ‘I can see CLRiE now’, we explore the significance of social emotional learning (SEL) in personal growth and development. Our guests, CLRiE researcher Danielle Law and community partner Nicki Straza, share their insights into the 'Superhero in me' program, which focuses on empowering children and teachers through SEL. By strengthening their capacity for emotion and behavioural regulation, positive relationships, and responsible decision-making, children and teachers can work together to enhance their overall well-being and academic success. Join us as we dive deeper into the importance of SEL training and its potential to transform children's lives.
In this episode of ‘I can see CLRiE now’ we delve into Laurier’s 'Mission on the Moon' project, an interactive coding and robotics course tailored for students in grades 6-9, with a particular focus on lunar rovers. The project aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of coding and robotics in an enjoyable and engaging way, while also nurturing their creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork abilities. Our guests, Janice Cudlip, Julie Mueller, and Joe Monks, discuss the various aspects of the project, its origins, goals and challenges.
This episode of I Can See CLRiE Now introduces Wilfrid Laurier University's newest research centre, the Centre for Leading Research in Education (CLRiE). We explore how the executive imagined and is building a dynamic, growing community of educational researchers. We talked to Steve Sider (CLRiE Director), Alexandra Gottardo (CLRiE Associate Director) and Danielle Law (CLRiE Executive Committee member) about their involvement in the Centre, and their vision for the growth of the Centre going forward.
