This large-scale and quantitative study follows a cohort of over 3,000 pupils from before they started school to the end of compulsory education, using measures of pupil achievement to identify the schools in which pupils make most progress.
It finds that highly organised, resourceful teachers help develop self-reliant pupils; clear learning objectives helped with shared understanding amongst classes; and well-developed homework builds on what is learnt in class.
The study analyses hundreds of hours of classroom observations, along with data from the Effective Pre-School, Primary and Secondary Education (EPPSE 3-16) research study, to pinpoint the most effective practices and compares these with practices across the globe. The EPPSE is a large-scale, longitudinal study that followed the progress of over 3,000 children from the ages of 3- to 16-years-old.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
