Moot stresses data significance in education reforms
The Data and Research in Education — Research Consortium (DARE-RC) successfully hosted the second edition of its webinar series 'Building Communities of Practice in Education', bringing together highly accomplished Pakistani and international education researchers to share critical research findings and strategies for improving Pakistan's education system.
DARE-RC is a pioneering education research initiative, generating actionable insights to drive evidence-based education reform nationwide.
The webinar episode 'Exploring the River of Life Participatory Method' featured Associate Professor at the University College London (UCL), Dr Asma Zubairi and Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Development and Economic Alternatives (IDEAS), Dr Rabea Malik.
During the Webinar, the speakers presented the River of Life participatory method as an innovative method to gather in-depth data while working with vulnerable adolescents, particularly those affected by climate-induced emergencies or those who may be marginalised. This topic is essential for understanding how to leverage participant-centred approaches in education research. If implemented well, the River of Life method can generate rich, narrative-based data.
In discussion with Dr Sahar Shah (Senior Research Manager at DARE-RC), Dr Asma Zubair and Dr Rabea Malik drew on experiences from the Girls' Education Challenge evaluation across Ghana, Kenya and Nepal.
