  • An Evaluation of Secondary School Students’ Use and Understanding of Learning Strategies to Study and Revise for Science Examinations

    Open AccessFatema Sultana, Richard Watkins et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2025

    There is currently no population-based data evaluating secondary school-aged students’ use, or understanding of, learning strategies to study/revise independently for science. There is also no research evaluating the effort students make towards independent science study and revision, nor how schools support students with study and/or revision strategies for science examinations. In this paper, we report data from a representative sample of 385 s…

  • Effectiveness of Headsprout Early Reading® in Special Educational Needs Schools

    Open AccessSamantha Flynn, P A Thompson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Special…2025Referencias: 32

    Children with intellectual disabilities often find acquiring age‐appropriate reading skills difficult. We evaluated the impact of a structured online reading intervention on the reading skills of children aged 5–11 years in special educational needs (SEN) schools in England. A two‐armed cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) compared Headsprout Early Reading® (HER®) with education as usual (EAU). Children completed the Dynamic Indicators of B…

  • Where Are the Costs? Using an Economic Analysis of Educational Interventions Approach to Improve the Evaluation of a Regional School Improvement Programme

    Open AccessEmma Tiesteel, Richard Watkins et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2024

    Education systems are moving to a more evidence-informed paradigm to improve outcomes for learners. To help this journey to evidence, robust qualitative and quantitative research can help decisionmakers identify more promising approaches that provide value for money. In the context of the utilisation of scarce resources, an important source of evidence commonly used in health and social care research is an understanding of the economic impact of …

  • Effects of implementation support on children's reading outcomes following an online early reading programme

    Open AccessEmily J Roberts‐tyler, Sarah Roberts et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…2023

    Well‐designed computer or app‐based instruction has a number of potential benefits (eg increasing accessibility and feasibility of high‐quality instruction, reducing time and resources required for training expert delivery, saving instructional time). However, variation in implementation can still affect outcomes when using educational technology. Research generally suggests that without follow‐up support after training, implementation of educati…

  • Factors From Middle Childhood That Predict Academic Attainment at 15–17 Years in the UK

    Open AccessMargiad E Williams, Susan Clarkson et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2022

    Success in adult life is associated with end of school academic attainment, but educational inequality is a major issue in the UK. Contextual background factors and personal attributes associated with student academic attainment have been identified in cross-sectional research. However, there has not been a systematic synthesis of these factors from longitudinal studies particularly with a focus on factors from middle childhood. The aim of this s…

  • Assessing the Social Validity of the Safmeds Strategy From the Perspective of Teachers and Children

    Open AccessKaydee Owen, Richard Watkins et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Education2021

    The Say-All-Fast-Minute-Every-Day-Shuffled (SAFMEDS) strategy promotes fluency across several skills and contexts. However, few studies have reported the social validity key stakeholders associate with using the strategy in schools. Assessing social validity may provide us with some insight into factors that may affect engagement, implementation fidelity, and persistent use of the intervention after the termination of a research study. Study 1 de…

  • Headsprout ® Early Reading for children with severe intellectual disabilities

    Open AccessCorinna F Grindle, Clodagh M Murray et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Special…2021

    Research evaluating phonics reading programs for children with severe intellectual disabilities (ID) is limited. The current study investigated whether using an online reading program (Headsprout ® Early Reading; HER) as supplementary reading instruction for children with a severe ID leads to improvements in reading skills as compared to children not receiving this additional instruction. Fifty‐five children from a special school were randomly al…
