We're not Sheep
This study investigates adolescent peer leadership in the context of health and social education affecting lifestyle choice. Cognate studies are summarised and reviewed and the study reported here is referenced to prior work in this area. The paper reports on a case study of a single school during the first stage of a two-stage study. Interview data illuminate how adolescent peer group members influence and shape the dynamics of the peer group an…
A whole‐school approach to adolescent peer‐leader development for affective learning in health‐related curricula
This evaluation research study adopted a whole‐school approach, within a case‐study framework, to developing the health‐related affective learning of adolescent peer‐group leaders. The attendant strategies were effected in anticipation of a multiplier effect of peer‐leader influence affecting lifestyle choices across the school population. Health educators used the dynamics of the adolescent peer group, and peer‐supported learning, as the primary…
International Perspectives on Educational Reform and Policy Implementation
A longitudinal study of primary teachers’ perceived competence in, and concerns about, National Curriculum implementation
In 1989, a national questionnaire survey of 901 primary teachers was undertaken by the Leverhulme Primary Project team and published in Research Papers in Education (Wragg et al., 1989). A follow‐up survey was conducted in 1991, with a sample size of 433 teachers in 131 schools. Teachers were asked on both occasions how competent they felt to teach the National Curriculum introduced by the 1988 Education Act with their existing subject knowledge.…
Knowledge Transmitter, Social Scientist or Reflective Thinker
A psychometrically derived typology of teaching styles or preferred approaches to teaching social studies was presented. Separate case studies of teachers, each of whom represented a type were reported. The purpose of this was to flesh out and ascribe meaning to the psychometric data previously collected by schedule-based systematic observation. The latter is necessarily restricted to behavioral observation and description. Qualitative data colle…
A Typology of Social Studies Teaching Processes
This study investigated approaches to teaching social studies in Western Australian high schools. A conceptual scheme for teaching social studies, based on recognized orientations to the subject is presented. Psychometric data on the cognitive demands placed on pupils, by teachers' mediating transactions, were collected and cluster analyzed. A typology of teaching processes was constructed and characterized by pen portraits representative of the …
Teaching Processes in Social Studies Classrooms and Prescriptive Instructional Theories
An exploratory study of teaching styles in 40 social studies classrooms was described. Observational data were cluster‐analysed and three teaching styles were described. It was found that inexperienced teachers favoured an informational teaching style. The implications of the study for the possible empirical testing of prescriptive, instructional theories were discussed, and it was suggested that sufficient variance of teaching style could be fou…
