Since the early 1970s educators in many countries have been responding to Imaginative Education (IE) in various ways—reviewing, critiquing, implementing, researching. The research on IE is diverse, as practicing teachers, professors of education, and educational researchers have examined the effectiveness of IE for use with PreK through Higher Education learners, and exploring the myriad implications of the IE approach for educational practice and curriculum change. Rather than offering a comprehensive database of all IE research, this page highlights some research affiliated with the Imaginative Education Research Group and graduate programs in IE at Simon Fraser University.

Scroll down to find Action Research projects on a range of topics from graduate students in the IE MEd program.
