Aim: To identify ways in which teachers can enhance student learning through homework, by examining homework, perceptions of it in Year 7, and support systems both in school and at home.
Aim: We believed that students were over-reliant on teachers in meeting the AS Chemistry syllabus requirements and that this restricted the range of learning styles and methodologies that students used.
Aim: The main aim of the project was to explore how to establish practitioner research as an effective and sustainable form of continuing professional development both for participating researchers and, through their research work, for colleagues within the schools and network.
Aim: To investigate the link between language and competence in algebra, highlight the problems experienced by pupils when learning algebra, and suggest some strategies for teachers.
Aim: The main aim of this project is to explore messages from student led research into classroom challenges and attitudes. This project on enhancing classroom challenge aims to understand our learners better and to develop our approach towards learning and teaching processes in relation to raising achievement.
Aim: The aim of this project was to create a community of enquiry across a network of schools which would engage with research to inform school improvement. The project also set out to establish ways of working with an external specialist to maximise the research capacity of the network.
Aim: To assess the impact of voting sticks technology in terms of engaging hard to reach learners, creating interactive learning resources across the curricula and assessment.
Aim: The study set out to create a long term online action research activity involving collaboration between European teachers. We created a European project to look at the issue of Global Warming. We decided to monitor butterflies as indicators of climate change. This required a long term commitment to gain maximum value from the data collected. Hence teacher motivation was important. It was hoped from this to create a motivational checklist for teachers to help them when setting up online action research communities in the future.
