BECERA Conference: Bringing research to life

Management Careers & Training
'Getting off the balcony and on to the dance-floor' was how Professor Chris Pascal described the aim of the British Early Childhood Education Research Association's (BECERA) second conference, which took place at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham last week (15 to 16 January).

She said the conference was part of the process of demystifying research and making it accessible to everyone. ‘We need to draw new meaning from enquiry, to inform practice and bring about improvement,’ she said. ‘We hope that the dance-floor will be what takes place in our rooms during the conference, and in dancing we will be interacting and achieving interconnectivity.'

With a programme of 20 wide-ranging symposiums taking place over the two days, practitioners and academics had the opportunity to hear the latest research findings relating to evidence-based practice and to carry out some fruitful networking. The general feel of the event was informal and collaborative.
