(R&DA 7) An Electronic System for Individual Personal Development Profiling [e-PDP] for the Professi
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 systematic review of the impact of summative assessment and tests on students' motivation for lear
This systematic review using the EPPI protocol examined empirical studies of the impact of summative assessment on students' motivation, teaching approaches and the curriculum.
Trainee Teachers Teaching Texts From Other Times (R&DA 02: 15)
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
Teachers' and students' roles in formative assessment
The resource is a digest of two papers which report on the Kings Medway and Oxfordshire Formative Assessment Project (KMOFAP), a year long project that started in 1999 between researchers from King’s College London and two local authorities (LAs), Medway and Oxfordshire. The LA assessment advisers and the researchers supported twenty-four teachers, one from the science and one from the mathematics department in each secondary school taking part. Two of the researchers were the writers of Insid
The effectiveness of different ICTs in the teaching and learning of English (written composition), 5
This TDA-supported systematic review (2006) using the EPPI protocol evaluates research into whether various forms of ICT are effective in the teaching and learning of writing in English for 5- to 16-year-olds.

4.144 Architectural Design, Level II: New Orleans Studio (MIT)
The project for this studio is to design a demonstration project for a site near the French Quarter in New Orleans. The objectives of the project are the following:
To design more intense housing, community, educational and commercial facilities in four to six story buildings.
To explore the "space between" buildings as a way of designing and shaping objects.
To design at three scales - dwelling, cluster and overall.
To design dwellings where the owners may be able to help build and
Report on TDA’s Pilot Multiple-Placement in Mathematics and Science Project 2007
This resource is a report on the TDA's Pilot Multiple-Placement in Mathematics and Science project. The project was piloted in 2007 and had three key purposes:
to ‘assist in reducing barriers to increased recruitment'
to ‘increase the sufficiency and quality of mathematics and science placements by developing multiple placements'
to ‘gather evidence from stakeholders of the ways in which pair and multiple placements enhance training' (p1)
Towards a social pedagogy of classroom group work
This article discusses the notion of social pedagogy in relation to group work and suggests that learning experiences will be more effective if planned strategically, with teachers taking account of the relationships between group size, interaction type and the nature of the intended learning task. It describes the background and theoretical underpinning to the SPRinG project.

As headlined in the media, on Wednesday 13th February 2008 the Culture Secretary and the Children's Secretary jointly announced that schoolchildren should be offered five hours of ‘high quality culture' a week. They were speaking on the introduction of a £25 million pilot project to be run by a new body, the Youth Culture Trust.
Welcome to this Futures workbook on finding work. It is split into several sections describing different techniques for finding work. You can dip in and out of the different sections; however it is not wise to rely on only one mechanism for finding work. It is a competitive market for final year students and new graduates and so you should try many alternate ways to find work.

Covers the basics of R software and the key capabilities of the Bioconductor project (a widely used open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of data arising from high-throughput experimentation in genomics and molecular biology and rooted in the open source statistical computing environment R), including importation and preprocessing of high-throughput data from microarrays and other platforms. Also introduces statistical concepts and tools necessary t
(Sport) Coaching: Blinded or blended in a changing world? Professor Duffy's research work focuses on policy and sport coaching, as well as applied work in sport-business transfer, which is part of a long-term project with Morrisons PLC. Patrick will address the policy and research backgrounds to developments in professional practice in this area. The traditional view of sport coaching as an emerging profession will be challenged, suggesting that sport coaching should position itself as a blended

This report forms part of the Effective Pre-school, Primary and Secondary Education (EPPSE) 3-14 project, a major longitudinal study funded by the DCSF. It presents the findings of a sub-study on transitions, taken from questionnaire responses of over 500 children in their first term at secondary school, as well as their parents. Case studies of 12 of the pupils who had enjoyed a successful transition were subsequently undertaken, involving interviews with them and their primary and secondary te
