Journal clubs are regular meetings where groups of educators gather together to critically discuss published research articles. Similar to book clubs, they provide a structured forum for peers to build their knowledge, analyse the validity of research, and determine how it can be applied to improve practice.
There are many benefits to journal clubs, a key one being that they provide a sustainable way for busy teaching staff to keep up to date with the latest developments in education without becoming overwhelmed by the volume of new information. However, the sessions need to be carefully planned and deleivered and the articles must be well chosen.
This staff meeting starter encourages staff to consider the benefits of a journal club, and the possibility of utilising one in their setting and context.
