They Didn't Teach Me That - Classroom Environment
The resource is a 15 minute Teachers TV video, filmed in 2006, focusing on a question from a Newly Qualified Teacher about effective ways to organise the classroom environment. His interest is motivated by concerns about the disruption caused by a small group of boys who sit together for some lessons, and also by contrasting reports he has heard about the best way of using wall space. Four experts are consulted and the video provides insight into their views and different approaches to wall disp
Assessment of performance in practical science and pupils’ attributes
This resource is a paper, presented at BERA in 2003, which describes the findings of a small scale research study into validity and reliability of various approaches to ‘measure’ the ability of pupils to know and understand and be able to ‘do’ science, the intended outcome of GCSE Science assessment. The paper informs the reader of the concepts involved in problem solving in science, presents the findings of their research into the attributes of the pupils in the study and the correlatio
1.4 Summary of Unit A2
This unit is concerned with two main topics. In Section 1, you will learn about another kind of graphical display, the boxplot. A boxplot is a fairly simple graphic, which displays certain summary statistics of a set of data. Boxplots are particularly useful for assessing quickly the location, dispersion, and symmetry or skewness of a set of data, and for making comparisons of these features in two or more data sets. Boxplots can also be useful for drawing attention to possible outliers in a dat

Planning for change: the impact of the new Key Stage 3 curriculum
This is an Ofsted report which evaluates the progress of the implementation of the new Key Stage 3 curriculum. The report draws on visits to 37 schools between May 2008 and March 2009. The new National Curriculum for Key Stage 3 came into effect for Year 7 pupils from September 2008, and carried with it a clear expectation that schools develop a more integrated approach to curriculum planning and delivery. The report suggests that the schools in the survey had made progress in introducing more v
Analysis of factors influencing the contribution of talk to learning during collaborative group work
This is a paper presented at the 2009 BERA Conference. The report considers the factors that affect pupil contributions during collaborative work in science. It reviews approaches to analysing the cognitive demand of talk in groups, the rules and roles in group talk and the nature of group tasks. The paper presents evidence from primary school classrooms to show their possible impact on cognitive level of group talk as a way for practitioners to improve the quality of talk in their classroom.

Photography Program, Studio Arts Department, Concordia University, Montreal
Through an extensive portfolio of student and faculty projects, in-depth interviews, and demonstrations of photo labs and equipment, this bilingual video profile showcases everything that the Photo Program has to offer. Recognizing that contemporary photographic practice encompasses a rich multiplicity of formal and conceptual approaches, the Photo Program encourages students to look beyond the image.

4.5 Central coherence and cognitive style
Most of us have a very vague and narrow concept of what autism is, based mainly on such stereotypes as Dustin Hoffman's character in the film Rain Man. In this unit you will discover that there is a wide spectrum of disorders associated with autism, and an equally wide range of approaches to diagnosis and treatment.

Beyond the Third Way in Labour Law: Towards the Constitutionalization of Labour Law?
Professor Collins argues that New Labour was responsible for the real break from the political settlements of the Trade Disputes Act 1906. He suggests that a new social contract is required that constitutionalizes social and economic rights. Blair's Third Way agenda was radically different from the early twentieth century political settlement in three respects. First, it was largely uninterested in the distribution of wealth in society; second, it conducted direct regulation of working condition
