The storythinking programme
The Storythinking Programme, focusing on oral storytelling, was designed to investigate critical thinking skills and pedagogical practices to nurture these skills in preschool children. The aim of the study was twofold: (1) to clarify what type of skills preschool children use and (2) to explore those teaching practices that nurture these skills. One of the study’s central claims, examined from a sociocultural lens, is that children from age 3 be…
What next for Universal Design for Learning? A systematic literature review of technology in UDL implementations at second level
In the last two decades, there has been a global movement towards pedagogies that create more inclusive school environments in order to meet the needs of diverse learners. One such approach is Universal Design for Learning (UDL), which foregrounds the design of flexible and accessible learning experiences for all, regardless of learner characteristics. Technology is a key enabler in this. To date, much of the research on UDL has focused on its im…
Home School Community Liaison Coordinators (HSCL) perspectives on supporting family wellbeing and learning during the Covid-19 school closures
Home School Community Liaison Coordinators (HSCLs) play an essential role in the Irish education system to address systemic educational disadvantage by supporting children and families.

Research questions focus on challenges and enablers for HSCLs in supporting families during the shutdown and the impact of a whole school response on remote learning…

An maith leat an Ghaeilge? An analysis of variation in primary pupil attitudes to Irish in the growing up in Ireland study
This paper presents an analysis of primary schoolchildren's attitudes to the Irish language, Gaeilge, in the context of national policy in the Republic of Ireland. In particular, the study examines the factors (social, cultural, cognitive and organisational) that may be related to a pronounced excess in disengagement with Irish over and above general engagement with schooling. The data derives from the nine-year-old child cohort of the national l…
