Personal statement

I first joined the university in 2015 on a 2-year secondment and have recently (March 2020) returned permanently as a Teaching Fellow in the School of Education. I lead the PGDE Secondary Physical Education course and teach on all aspects of the PGDE course. My main areas of interest are in embedding evidence-based approaches in teaching physical education, specifically models-based practice. Prior to joining the university I was a physical education teacher in Glasgow schools for 15 years. I also held extended principal teacher posts at both curricular and pastoral level. I am currently in the 'writing up' stage of my PhD. My study is entitled 'Exploring how teachers implement a pedagogy of affect (an activist approach) to teach adolescent girls in physical education'. Using both grounded and activist theories, my work is qualitative in nature and aims to work with participants to challenge conventional narratives. I have further interests in teacher professional learning, innovation in curriculum and pedagogy and gender studies.

Sims, Rebekah (Principal Investigator) Landi, Dillon (Co-investigator) Lamb, Cara (Post Grad Student)
This six-session, interactive seminar focusses on qualitative data analysis approaches. We take a hands-on approach to developing qualitative data analysis skills for doctoral students. Our seminar is funded by the Scottish Graduate School for Social Sciences and the Scottish Graduate School for the Arts & Humanities

Our learning objectives are:

1. To develop participants’ abilities to understand and discuss the goals, strengths and weaknesses of theoretical frameworks and research methods.
2. To increase participant familiarity with a variety of approaches, methods and analysis tools that are referred to as qualitative.
3. To learn how to write up a data analysis and results section to a qualitative research report.
