The Strengthening Pedagogical Approaches for Relevant Skills and Knowledge (SPARKS) project is a global network and participatory mixed-method research collaboration that explores the sociocultural and ideological aspects of pedagogies that influence teacher decisions and classroom practices in local contexts.
By establishing Research Policy Collaboratives (RPC), the project aims to bring together researchers, educators, families, policymakers, and other stakeholders from the local education ecosystem to identify research priorities, develop methodologies, conduct analysis, and discuss policy implications and dissemination strategies.
Additionally, SPARKS supports a broader network of actors in the education ecosystem who will participate in debates and discussions, promote knowledge sharing across countries and systems, and produce important insights about the sociocultural and philosophical aspects of pedagogies as they relate to learning.
