What is ScTIG?
The ScTIG group began as a discussion/reading group and has attracted interest from about twelve academic members of staff. Of these there are about 6 core group members whose current work fits very well in this theme.
Since September 2004 the ScTIG group has undergone a development from a purely academic group meeting to discuss ideas to a group with planned research activities and outcomes.
ScTIG in relation to the School of Education
The group draws together researchers who use socio-cultural theory to inform their work in different areas of education. It is a non-partisan group that draws from across the School and membership or attendance at ScTIG meetings does not preclude membership of other groups or of themes in the School. An important function of the ScTIG group is to foster academic excellence amongst staff and students.
