Engaging with Evidence

...

Ways to engage with the Education Evidence Base to inform your practice.

This film describes a process you might find helpful when engaging with the Education Evidence Base. It suggests some places to look for information and guides some possible techniques and strategies for speed reading, note taking and the core principles of summarise, synthesise and analyse.

Viewing Notes


Engaging with evidence and researching the evidence base
 

This document is particularly linked to the Curriculum Development project begun in the Autumn Term of 2021 in IFtL. Working with Senior Curriculum Leaders across the trust, the proposal is to interrogate, summarise, synthesise and analyse the evidence base in Foundation Subjects in order to inform the teaching and learning opportunities in our schools in each subject. This project focuses on the subject specific pedagogy for each subject and how general pedagogy might be reflected within subject specific domains. 

 

When researching, it is important to not only look at subject specific pedagogy but also at general pedagogy and high impact strategies and reflect on how these core pedagogies link to subject specific domains. 

 

You are not expected to have completed your research before the seminar, in the seminar we will discuss how to go about the research and follow up on the contents of this film. The stage after the seminar will be the actual research time. A draft road map for this project can be found in the Resources section.
