Profile

Sara Hennessy is a Professor of Educational Dialogue and Pedagogical Inquiry in the Faculty where she teaches and supervises on Masters and doctoral courses. She is also a Fellow of Hughes Hall (college).

Her research is executed across high- and low-income country contexts and has 3 main strands:

(a) Analysing classroom dialogue, across subject areas and in contexts with and without technology.

(b) Pedagogy related to educational uses of digital technology, from a sociocultural perspective. 

(c) Teacher professional development and inquiry, creating supporting interactive multimedia resources, and assessing the impact.

Sara is a founding member and leads the Cambridge Educational Dialogue Research (CEDiR) Group. CEDiR aims to reach across academic disciplines, subject areas, age groups and formal and informal educational contexts to develop the potential of dialogue and its impact on theory, policy and practice.  

Sara is one of the Research Directors of the £30m+ FCDO-funded EdTech Hub. She collaborates with colleagues overseas on research using technology to foster interactive teaching and inquiry-based, collaborative learning in schools and in-service teacher education in sub-Saharan Africa – Tanzania at present and Zambia and South Africa previously. Sara is an affiliate member of the Faculty's Research for Equitable Access and Learning (REAL) Centre. She has also used digital video to document, analyse and develop UK teachers' strategies for mediating the use of technology to support subject teaching and learning.

Sara is Deputy Director of Camtree, a programme to create a global platform for publishing, sharing and supporting practitioner research; Camtree hosts the extensive T-SEDA resources and related multimedia courses for practitioner inquiry into educational dialogue. She previously held an ESRC Research Fellowship focused on teacher development through collaborative research between practitioners and academics. She has served on BERA Council and chaired the 2018 BERA Ethical Guidelines review group.

Editorial responsibilities

Editor, British Journal of Educational Technology.

Editorial Board, International Journal of Science Education.

Research Topics

  • Pedagogical strategies for using digital technologies in the classroom, including mobile devices and interactive display screens; a particular interest is the role of technology in supporting classroom dialogue
  • Systematic analysis of classroom dialogue in whole class and peer group settings, across subjects and school phases, with and without technology use; one project developed the Cam-UNAM SEDA (Scheme for Educational Dialogue Analysis) and applied it to practice in Mexico and England.
  • Teacher development and inquiry in the use of dialogic approaches (with and without technology); impact of a version of the SEDA for teachers' own inquiry and development (T-SEDA) has been trialled across countries.
  • Equitable and effective uses of educational technology in low-income countries: see the EdTech Hub programme
  • Supporting professional learning of teachers in sub-Saharan Africa and other low-resourced contexts in the areas of interactive teaching and collaborative learning. See The Impact of a Tech-Supported, School-Based TPD Model on Learning Outcomes in Tanzania
  • Practitioner-university researcher partnerships and collaborative theory building

Prospective Postgraduate Applications

I HAVE NO MORE CAPACITY FOR POSTGRADUATE APPLICATIONS FOR 2024! Further approaches cannot be acknowledged - sorry.

I would welcome informal contact from prospective doctoral/Masters students concerning the postgraduate programmes at Cambridge (Visiting Students cannot be accepted) in the following 3 specific areas only - OTHER APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED, sorry!:

(a) educational dialogue, especially projects on dialogue related to teacher inquiry/professional development and/or digital technology use (e.g. multimodal dialogue);

(b) uses of educational technology to support learning at school level in low-income countries (especially sub-Saharan Africa), including studies related to teacher professional development for effective pedagogy (see EdTech Hub).

(c) research-informed teacher inquiry, especially concerning dialogue and/or technology use (see T-SEDA and Camtree).

Please include a CV showing grades of all degrees, with any approach made.

I CAN NO LONGER ACCEPT PART-TIME DOCTORAL APPLICATIONS, SORRY! Full-time doctoral or full/part-time Masters only.

All applications need to link explicitly and closely to ongoing work of my teams. Note I cannot accept applications on second language learning or other aspects of technology use than those stated above. There may be opportunities for prospective Masters and doctoral students who wish to be attached to existing projects on dialogue or on technology use in low-income countries. For example please see

http://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/research/projects/analysingdialogue/.

Please contact me by November of the calendar year before you wish to start your studies as after that I will be oversubscribed!


I would encourage students to consider applying to Hughes Hall, which offers an exceptionally friendly, informal and intellectually stimulating environment for mature students. The Hughes Hall research translation initiative "The Bridge" has strong links to the lines of work above and offers unique opportunities for research impact on policy and practice.
