Suqiong Zheng, a PhD student at Moray House School of Education and Sport, University of Edinburgh, will be giving a presentation of her research 'Individual and Collective Teacher Agencies in Chinese and Scottish Educational Contexts in an Era of Covid-19'.
This research investigates how Chinese and Scottish contexts shape teachers’ individual and collective agencies in two online teacher communities. The interaction between the context and teacher agency can be studied from the aspects of understanding self and relating to others by referring to theories on teacher agency and professional communities. Especially in an era of school closures during pandemic, it is meaningful to collectively seek solutions and create new learning environments to sustain students' learning at home.
There will be opportunities for questions and informal discussion.
