Transferring a model for improving the ability of design & technology PGCE trainee teachers to teach
This project concerned trainees’ ability to teach designing. An earlier study fully reported elsewhere found that a curriculum intervention in the training programme enhanced PGCE students’ ability to teach designing. The earlier study also revealed that the enhancement was less effective for those students specialising in food technology or electronic and communication technology (ECT). The current project investigated the issue of designing within food technology and transfer of a curric
Secondary ICT - Personalised Learning with ICT 1: Managing Information and Content
A Teachers TV video lasting 15 minutes which examines two schools’ approaches to making use of ICT resources to support personalised learning. The first case study (Seven Kings High School) explores the school’s use of management data (attendance, records and reports) to track pupils’ progress and to support focused target setting. The second (Coopers Technology College) concentrates on the school’s use of its virtual learning environment (VLE) to provide detailed and personalised online

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
