Abstract
Event synopsis: Qualitative research provides a key means of developing knowledge about the rapidly changing character of post-compulsory education. Researchers, analysts, educational developers, managers, teachers, students and unionists use fine-grained research and evaluation methods in both formal and informal ways. Data and conclusions derived from this research are used to generate, implement and reconfigure policy, to manage and organize institutions, and to plan and reorganize curricula. This conference provided a forum for researchers, whether teachers, managers or policy advisors, to present, discuss and examine their recent qualitative research on higher, further and continuing education. Papers that presented qualitative research on any aspect of higher education were welcomed. There were four key themes in the conference: A: Professional Development B: Methodological Issues C: Management and Change D: The Student Experience
