Scaling relations from scale model experiments on equilibrium accretionary beach profiles
Movable bed, scale model experiments were conducted at three length scales, 1/8.5, 1/10 and 1/11, in a 90 ft-long wave tank to study scale effect and equilibrium profile characteristics under sinusoidal, accreting wave action. Geometric similarity, deep water wave steepness, wave Froude number, densimetric Froude number, and particle Reynolds number were preserved by selecting the same sediment and fluid in the model and prototype. Wave height was measured with parallel-wire resistance gauges wh
Coastal erosion in Norfolk
Science writer and broadcaster Richard Hollingham visits the north Norfolk coast and meets Dr Sophie Nicolson-Cole to find out how research from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change could benefit anyone living in a vulnerable coastal region.

The Biology of the Language Faculty: Its Perfection, Past and Future
Noam Chomsky, around whose work much of the Syntax series revolves, gives listeners a glimpse into the evolution of his own thinking, with an emphasis on areas of linguistics where computational considerations play a major role.
Chomsky briefly outlines the key components of a biologically based linguistics that be

To be clear, we are referring to gender agreement. Get ready: although gender is 95% the same between Spanish and Portuguese, there are a few
This TDA Research & Development Award evaluated the use of multiple placements in ITT, where a group of students work in the same school subject department. Maths trainees were the original focus and this was extended to PE during the project.
The University of St. Thomas School of Law has established itself not only as an outstanding law school but also as an exceptional place to be a law student. The School of Law was ranked the No. 1 law school in the country in 2005 for Best Quality of Life among students, according to Princeton Review's The Best 159 Law Schools. While a number of factors contribute to this quality of life at the School of Law, including our beautiful building and remarkable faculty, our students clearly are the b
This TDA Research and Development Award focused upon producing and testing an electronic version of an Individual Personal Development Profile [IPDP] incorporating the TDA’s Qualified Teacher Status standards. The project found that an electronic system for monitoring and recording student progress and progression was viable and realistic.
A unit from the Music-ITE Subject Induction Pack and Programme on Research Approaches in Music Education.
This research identified critical issues in efforts to secure consistent, effective, support, feedback and formal assessment of student teachers on block placement. The report demonstrates systematic practices in case study research.
Supported by TTA Research and Development Award
The Research and Development Award undertook to confirm the principles of formative assessment with students. Trainees were invited to use ICT to elaborate their practical and theoretical professional development in the area of assessment for learning by identifying, digitising and uploading to the web levelled examples of children’s science thinking to a virtual repository.
Reading Writing Hi, I am about to research into the correlation between reading and writing, whether there is a correlation based on achievement levels or interest levels. There are many books on reading and writing however these elements are often kept seperate. On your site previous questions have been asked about gender etc and reading but little on the reading and writing link at primary age and was wondering if you could help. Thank you.
Initial teacher training Hello, I am looking for some information (i.e. research) into the impact that trainee teachers may have on the school in which they have their teaching placements - in particular some quantative data on the impact on pupil achievement. I have searched the TTRB and found the R&D piece "Does school-based initial teacher training affect secondary school performance" and the Partnership piece "What are the benefits to schools of involvement with teacher training" (and a cou
This unit helps you understand the properties of nucleotides and how they contribute to secondary and tertiary structures of nucleic acids at the molecular level. You will learn about the different composition and roles of nucleic acids in the cell, their interactions with each other and the use of ribozymes, aptamers, antisense and hybridization as tools in molecular research. The unit covers the function of DNA packaging within the cell, the interactions between the DNA double helix and the nu
The authors pursued the potential synergy between history and English and potentially citizenship in a project that investigated teaching literary texts from other times. The approach re-addressed the issue of ‘starting where the pupil is’ with respect to working with literary texts in English and in history.
A group of trainees and teacher educators devised a training pack of nine lessons based on developing a ‘live circuit’ of response between pupil and text. Trainees from two su
This is a paper presented at the British Educational Research Association Annual Conference, University of Warwick, 6-9 September 2006. The paper is a report on ‘work in progress’ which explores the use of gesture by teachers using the interactive whiteboard in secondary mathematics lessons. This research forms part of a body of work being carried out by the Interactive Whiteboard (IAW) research group within the School of Criminology, Education, Sociology and Social Work at Keele University.
The report is a review of a large number of research surveys on the actual and perceived barriers to the uptake of ICT by teachers, undertaken by Becta.
