Meet The Education Researcher

Show Notes

How do students learn to interact with others? How do teachers cope with stress?

In this episode, we join psychologist Rebecca Collie (UNSW) for an overview of her work on social and emotional development in schools.

We talk about how students’ disruptive behaviours impact teachers, the concept of workplace buoyancy, and the challenges of doing rapid research on how teachers coped with the COVID lockdowns.
