Quid Pro Quo? Initial Teacher Education in Secondary Schools
The trend towards giving British secondary schools a fuller role in initial teacher education (ITE) has been gathering pace for much of the second half of this century. The impetuses driving this development have been partly professional and partly political. However, a recent political initiative (Circular 9/92, Department for Education, 1992) precipitated the development of school‐based ITE beyond what the professional evidence supported. This …
Can we know whether pupils are passing the ‘fair test
At its most fundamental level, experimental design has three major structural characteristics: the independent variable, the dependent variable and the control variable(s). Pupil competence in experimental design might involve simply recognizing these three types of variable, and being able to design a ‘fair test’. However, the relationships between these variables within a coherent design strategy must be understood before pupils could be said t…
Children's Language and Assessing Their Skill in Formulating Testable Hypotheses
The ability to formulate testable hypotheses' is now one of the assessment criteria for the recently established National Science Curriculum in England and Wales. This paper looks at this scientific process skill from two perspectives. Firstly, from a broad theoretical viewpoint, the nature and status of hypotheses in scientific reasoning are explored. Secondly, the responses of 11 year‐old schoolchildren to an instrument designed to assess this …
