APCLC Research Fellow Dr Qian Haiyan, awarded the Early Career Research Excellence Award

Dr. Qian Haiyan, Research Fellow of APCLC, was awarded the Early Career Research Excellence Award in May 2016. Dr Qian’s research project, “Leading School-based Research to Improve Student Learning: Lessons from Shanghai”, was funded by the Early Career Scheme in 2014-2015. The project was rated “excellent” (with a full score of 5.0) and won an Early Career Award from the Research Grants Council. Only 22 of the 359 early-career scholars funded by the RGC in 2014/15 received this prestigious award. The project aims at building an in-depth understanding of the leadership strategies and practices associated with the successful promotion and implementation of school-based research in Shanghai. The findings will have substantial implications for schools around the world, and for Hong Kong in particular.
