An exploration of the impact of gifted and talented policies on inner city schools in England : a case studyBrady, Margaret January 2015 (has links)
This study investigates the impact of various ‘gifted and talented’ initiatives, brought in by successive governments in the UK since 1999. The research employs the Case Study method in an inner-city London primary school. Data gathered from semi-structured interviews with teachers, teaching assistants, pupils, parents and senior managers was analysed, using a thematic method. Documents including the School Development Plan, Ofsted reports and internal policies were also analysed, as well as lesson observations. A literature review encompassing both the history of ‘gifted and talented’ policy development and research on identifying and providing for ‘gifted and talented’ pupils revealed a notable lack of empirical research evidence as a basis for the policies. The emphasis on identifying ‘gifted and talented’ pupils in the policies, with less guidance about provision, possibly led practitioners to unfruitful and inaccurate directions. The research was contextualised by a review of the role of the Local Authority, in which the school was located, in implementing ‘gifted and talented’ policies. The importance of this diminishing role was confirmed. The challenge now is how to disseminate future initiatives, with no clear way to communicate with school leaders. The subsequent Case Study identified the strengths of the policies as raising awareness of the needs of this group of pupils, as well as finding a need for more professional development for teachers, which is unlikely to be met, since the policy was disbanded in 2011. Other findings showed that, whilst teachers have become more accepting of ‘gifted and talented’ policy, the lack of guidance about provision led to them using self-theories and professional experience to ensure ‘gifted and talented’ pupils have opportunities for challenge, with mixed success. More information, based on evidence-based research, needs to be made available to teachers to ensure they can provide effectively for this group of learners.

Invandrarelevers skolframgång : En studie om de sent anlända ungdomarna i gymnasieåldernJameel, Hiba January 2006 (has links)
This essay is a study about school success for immigrant pupils whose ages are between 16 and 19 years when they arrive to Sweden. The purpose of this study is to examine pupils difficulties in the school and the faktors which affect their success in the school and even possibilities which they can be offered by the school. This research carried out at two upper secondary schools in the municipality of “Södertälje”. The method which I have used is a qualitative research method which depends on interviews. The results of the research shows pupils difficulties and the different faktors which influence their success in the school. My conclusions are that these pupils have many difficulties and to reach a successful schooling, the shcool have to give these pupils a variety of possibilities which builds with pupils self possibilities a foundation for a good and successful schooling. The research also shows that the both schools are not giving enough possibilities to these pupils. The education system in these schools doesn’t fits for multi – lingual pupils. The pupils in these schools are trying to adapt themselves to the education system.

Pupils' Interaction with the Exhibits According to the Learning Behaviour ModelMõistus, Kristel January 2004 (has links)
Science centres are one of the best opportunities for informal study of natural science. There are many advantages to learn in the science centres compared with the traditional methods: it is possible to motivate and supply visitors with the social experience, to improve people’s understandings and attitudes, thereby bringing on and attaching wider interest towards natural science. In the science centres, pupils show interest, enthusiasm, motivation, self-confidence, sensitiveness and also they are more open and eager to learn. Traditional school-classes however mostly do not favour these capabilities. This research presents the qualitative study in the science centre. Data was gathered from observations and interviews at Science North science centre in Canada. Pupils’ learning behaviours were studied at different exhibits in the science centre. Learning behaviours are classified as follows: labels reading, experimenting with the exhibits, observing others or exhibit, using guide, repeating the activity, positive emotional response, acknowledged relevance, seeking and sharing information. In this research, it became clear that in general pupils do not read labels; in most cases pupils do not use the guides help; pupils prefer exhibits that enable high level of interactivity; pupils display more learning behaviours at exhibits that enable a high level of interactivity.

Research results: After analysing the data of questionnaire and interview it is possible to say that urban teritories schoolchildren while choosing a profession are influenced by internal interests, practical benefit and sometimes friends, and rural schoolchildren are influenced by inner interests, practical benefit and family. As there was not found very big differences among the factors influencing urban and rural schoolchildren in the research it is possible to say, that the first part of hypothesis – the first profession choise of urban and rural schoolchildren are influenced by different social factors – was not approved. The second part – rural schoolchildren are more influenced by family and urban schoolchildren are influenced by friends – was approved partialy: rural schoolchildren are... [to full text]

Vad är samhällskunskap? : En uppsats om elevers tankar kring samhällskunskapsämnet och dess anknytning till elevernas livsvärldTimbäck, Elin, Pettersson, Lisa January 2024 (has links)
The purpose of the essay was to investigate what the students' perception of the social studies subjectwas and how it related to the students' lifeworld. The essay used qualitative group interviews withsecondary school students. The aim was to illustrate the students' perspective of the social scienceeducation to counterbalance the teachers perspective which was commonly illustrated in teachereducation. The study shows that students mainly appreciate education in social science but lack theknowledge of the everyday life such as paying a bill and setting the tax return. Another thing theauthors found was that the teachers seemed to have been an important factor for what the students'learn and involvement in social issues. / <p>Godkänd 2024-01-19</p>

Target language use : An empirical study of the target language use in the Swedish 4-6 grade classroomRosenquist, Carl January 2016 (has links)
A consistent use of the target language during English lessons is beneficial for pupils’ linguistic development, but also challenging for both teachers and pupils. The main purpose for pupils to learn English is to be able to use it in communication, which requires that they develop the ability to comprehend input, produce output and use language strategies. Several researchers claim that a consistent use of the target language is necessary in order to develop these abilities. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the target language use during English lessons in Swedish grades 4-6, and what pupils’ opinions regarding target language use are. The methods used to collect data consisted of a pupil questionnaire with 42 respondents and an observation of two teachers’ English lessons during a week’s time. The results from the observations show that the teachers use plenty of target language during lessons, but the first language as well to explain things that pupils might experience difficult to understand otherwise. The results from the questionnaire mainly show that the pupils seem to enjoy English and like to both speak and hear the target language during lessons. The main input comes from listening to a CD with dialogues and exercises in the textbook and the workbook, and from the teacher speaking. The results also show that a majority of the pupils use the target language in their spare time. A conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that the TL should be used to a large extent in order to support pupils’ linguistic development. However, teachers may sometimes need to use L1 in order to facilitate understanding of the things that many pupils find difficult, for example grammar. Suggestions for further research in this area include similar studies conducted on a larger scale. / <p>Engelska</p>
