Title: Teaching and learning in changing times
Description: The last few years have seen unprecedented changes in schools in England and Wales, as the government attempts to raise standards by a radical programme of educational reforms. These reforms raise many fundamental questions about how teaching and learning should take place in the classroom. This book reports the outcomes of a major research programme - funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) - on teaching and learning in the context of the current reforms. The book addresses such questions as how far have teaching and learning been affected by the reforms? what makes for effective teaching and learning in the classrooms? and how can we ensure progression in children's learning? The book, written by some of the country's leading educational researchers, covers a wide range of ages and curriculum areas. It provides much needed insight into the nature of teaching and learning, as well as practical advice for teachers, policy-makers and parents.
