Socially Distant Stories from Beyond the Screen: An ethnographic exploration about the impact of a hybrid theatre in education approach on Initial Teacher Education

The project is a creative approach to research, which puts to work a hybrid Theatre in Education (TiE) methodology in two ITE settings and attempts to consider the challenging implications and positive opportunities of the ‘pandemic context’ on the educational experiences of ECTs as they prepare to enter the teaching profession. It particularly seeks to reveal the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the professional identity and practice of those training for the teaching profession.
