Jemma Bell is a faculty member in the Department of Education within the Faculty of Education and Society at the University of Sunderland. She serves as a key member of the International and Independent Distance Learning (IIDL) Team, focusing on innovative approaches to teacher education and assessment.
Her research interests center on video-enhanced dialogic assessment (VEDA) methodologies for teacher training, international initial teacher education programs, and professional development models for educators. Bell's work explores how digital technologies can transform assessment practices in teacher education, particularly for international students seeking UK Qualified Teacher Status.
Analysis of her publication record (2020-2024) reveals a strong focus on developing and implementing video-based assessment systems that create meaningful dialogic spaces for evaluating teaching practice. Her research demonstrates how these approaches can effectively bridge geographical distances while maintaining rigorous professional standards for teacher certification.
Bell has presented her research at major education conferences including the British Educational Research Association (BERA) Annual Conference, Practical Pedagogy Conference, and Assessment in Higher Education Conference. She frequently collaborates with colleagues Elizabeth Hidson, Ian Elliott, Simon Sheard, Alison Griffiths, and Vikki Wynn on projects related to teacher assessment and international education.
Her work has particular relevance for institutions developing international teacher training pathways and seeking innovative solutions for assessing teaching practice in virtual environments. Bell's research contributes significantly to the field of educational assessment, especially in the context of globalized teacher education programs.
