Abstract

This symposium will focus on the issue of including all children in schools, a challenge faced by teachers across Europe (Corak, 2004). This challenge is becoming more urgent with the arrival of migrant and refugee families.
In relation to this agenda, the importance of engaging with the views of students is increasingly recognised (Dusi and Steinbach, 2016; Messiou and Azaola, 2017). Though there is research that has involved students in commenting on practical aspects of schooling, much less research has focused on using their ideas to improve learning and teaching. Furthermore, existing research is mostly set in secondary schools. Following a recent research review, one of the suggestions for future research is that “primary pupils and teachers can work together to co-produce and co-research teaching and learning within schools.” (Robinson, 2014, p. 24)
