Effective Programs in Middle and High School Mathematics: A Best-Evidence Synthesis
This is a paper which summarises research on achievement outcomes of mathematics programs in US middle and high schools. The review only considered studies which fulfilled certain criteria for inclusion. Broadly, the studies had to be of 12 weeks or more duration and involve a randomised or matched control group. The paper categorises the research in terms of three types of program; those which had a mathematics curricula focus (principally textbooks), those involving computer assisted instructi
Exploring Science Teachers' Perceptions of Teaching and Learning
This is a preliminary research report, presented at BERA 2009, on one component of the ESRC-funded “Talking to Learn, Learning to Talk in Science” project. The focus of this resource is on research methodology and results. The researchers adopted a narrative approach to interviews where the teachers were asked to tell the story of their own experience of a lesson which they regarded as 'good'. The report also documents the findings from initial interviews with eight teachers revealing their
The effect of grammar teaching (sentence combining) in English on 5 to 16 year olds’ accuracy and
The second of two reviews of research evidence using the EPPI review protocol that consider the relationship between grammar teaching and written composition concludes that sentence-combining is one effective way of improving the syntactic maturity of 5 – 16 year olds.
(R&DA 20) The use of a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to support individualised learning in Init
This project funded by a TDA Research & Development Award examined the use of Virtual Learning Environment to support individualisation of teacher training. Investigated experience of 102 trainees with one ITT provider.
(R&DA 31) Improving the Ability of Design & Technology PGCE Trainee Teachers to Teach Designing
This research investigated a deliberate curriculum intervention to enhance design ability and design teaching skills. The research specifically targeted 6 of 29 trainee teachers on a one year PGCE Design & Technology course. Supported by TDA Research and Development Award.
Girls, calculators and graph concepts (1996)
This is a report about a small-scale piece of research carried out looking at ways to help girls improve their understanding of graphs with the use of a graphic calculator.
Raising standards through classroom assessment
This is a review of the booklet, "Inside the Black Box" by Black and Wiliam (1998), produced as 'a research report of the month' for the General Teaching Council (GTC), in May 2001.
Ways forward with ICT
This is a web based resource, and is one of the General Teaching Council’s Research for Teachers (formerly Research of the Month (ROM)) case studies. The full title of the study is 'Ways forward with ICT: effective pedagogy using information and communications technology for literacy and numeracy in primary schools'.
Helping pupils classify and tackle mathematics problems
This is a DfES TRIPS digest of some research done in the USA and published in 2004. The research was aimed at helping 8-9 year olds improve their problem classification and problem solving skills by teaching them specifically how to recognise and classify certain types of problem before trying to use their problem solving skills on those problems.
Development of division strategies for Year 5 pupils in ten English schools
This is a short (around 2500 words) digest of Anghilieri’s much longer published piece of research about Year 5 pupils and their attempts to get to grips with formal written methods of division.
The impact of classroom support
This GTC research of the month summary examines the report of a longitudinal investigation into the impact of teaching assistants (TAs) on teaching and learning in primary schools, focusing on Key Stage One.
Labelling
Labelling I am completing a research project on the effect of labelling children and what this does to their self esteem and attainment. It is based around the primary aged child but not a specific key stage. Any information you could give me would be great. I have looked at a few journals on the effect of informal and formal labelling.
The Internet Detective
This is an online tutorial that is designed to help students in higher and further education who want to use the Internet as a research tool for coursework and assignments.
