Are you ready to transform your teaching practice and dive into some exciting classroom-based research? The Teacher Inquiry in Computing Education (TICE3) programme is your golden opportunity to explore and enhance your educational techniques, and it’s back for another year!

What’s TICE3 All About?

TICE3 is a year-long journey designed for teachers like you who are eager to investigate an aspect of their own practice. Whether you’re teaching primary or secondary computing, this programme provides a structured pathway to develop and test new ideas in your classroom. It’s a unique chance to contribute to ongoing research while boosting your own professional growth.

Feedback from TICE2 (2023-24)

Being empowered

"..the whole tone of the TICE project has made me feel that we have been empowered to advance Computing in Education – quite a unique opportunity”

Benefits teaching

“…opening my mind to research – how to carry it out and how it can benefit my own teaching”.
