Dr Jeffrey Leddin, a Post-Primary teacher at Borrisokane Community College, has had his research dissertation recognised in a collection of education papers published by Hibernia College to showcase key research works undertaken by graduates from its Post-Primary and Primary Education programmes.
Available in print and online through the College website, Jeffrey’s research – undertaken during his master’s degree in Post-Primary teaching – investigated the ‘teachers’ perspective of student empathy within the context of Junior Cycle curricula’.
His research found that conclusions couldn’t be drawn about teachers’ perspectives on empathy across the whole of Ireland, only within the specific context in which they teach.
