Primary school leadership: Values and actions
The consequence of legislation implemented in the 1980s for school management can been described as a growing dichotomy between the head as ‘chief executive’ and as ‘leading professional’ that reflects wider political change from social democratic discourse to a political economy one (Hughes, 1976). The research set out here provides an insight into the values of the sampled headteachers and how these values are realised in the contingent environ…
Teaching and cognitive outcomes in A-levels and advanced GNVQs: Case studies from science and business studies classrooms
The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate how a research diary methodology, designed to analyse A-level and GNVQ classrooms, can be a powerful tool for examining pedagogy and quality of learning at the level of case study. Two subject areas, science and business studies, are presented as cases. Twelve teachers and thirty-four students were studied over a four-week period in May 1997 and contrasts were drawn between lessons from three A-level phy…

The nature of the study allows for an examination of the consequences of developing changes in educational policy following the introduction of the National Curriculum. The sample…

As a result, educational policy is determined by politicians whose constituencies lie outside the province and it is implemented by a central Department of Education for Northern Ireland with little effective local scrutiny by local politicians. Research data were obtained through interviews about the effects o…
