Educator-Researcher Connect – for tinkering | SingTeach | Education Research for Teachers

Teachers, interested to be part of an education research project with experts from the field?

Educator-Researcher Connect (ER Connect) is a platform that aims to bridge researchers from the National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore and local teachers in an effort to deepen, enhance and advance education research in Singapore. If you are interested to collaborate and be part of any NIE research project(s) listed below, based on your school’s or your needs, please get in touch with the relevant Principal Investigator directly

For inquiries on ER Connect, email: sgteach@nie.edu.sg

What are the benefits of participating in a research project?

The biggest benefit is you get to contribute to the evidence base and support your fellow teachers to improve teaching and learning. These projects involve high-quality professional development and support resources, so participating in any of them can support your teachers' and school’s ongoing improvement.

Will students be required to get their parents' or guardian's consent?

All students participating in a research project will be provided with a letter of consent. Their parents or guardian will need to acknowledge and provide consent for their ward's participation.

Can I withdraw my participation from the project at any time?

While we hope that participants can commit throughout the duration of the project (which differs from project to project), we also understand that circumstances may not allow for that to happen. As such, if you absolutely need to withdraw your participation from the project, please inform the relevant Principal Investigator and they will do the necessary.
