Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Curriculum has been with us since 1988 and yet it continues to arouse controversy and disquiet. In this collection, major educationalists debate its history, purpose, achievements and future direction. Some of the contributors write from first-hand experience of the original development, but while Eric Bolton and Chris Woodhead are largely satisfied with the result, Paul Black believes that the drive for simple tests could undermine all its achievements. Other analyses of the overall context and shape of The National Curriculum draw on academic and school perspectives, including that of Paul Hirst who questions the place of subjects at the centre of its structure. More than half the collectio

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment of the National Curriculum has evolved from the first blueprint of the TGAT Report through a series of policy decisions and early experience of implementation. The pace of change, the complexity of the proposed assessment system and the political rhetoric associated with it have served to confuse and so obscure the trends in policy and practice. This book offers an account of that system and explains why it is now emerging in a substantially different form from that envisaged by its originators.

Download or read book The Impact of the National Curriculum on the Teaching of Five Year Olds written by Theo Cox and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1994. One of the most neglected areas of research and thus writing is the world of the infant school child. Those who know it best are teachers who tend not to write. Those who write most are academics and even they venture rarely into this area. This book is based on research funded by the University of Wales. A number of teachers in a Welsh LEA were interviewed over time as the National Curriculum was being introduced up to Key Stage 1. The structured interviews covered a wide range of topics related to the anticipated and actual efforts of the National Curriculum at this key stage including curriculum planning, assessment, teaching methods, and organization. Teachers' attitudes to the curriculum were explored through a short attitude test. The resulting data provides in depth the first such examination and is a resource not only in itself but for all those researchers on change agents and restructuring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curriculum and Assessment in English 3 to 11: A Better Plan provides an overview of the subject in considerable breadth and depth, and offers a clear, balanced and forceful critique of the current language and literacy curriculum and its assessment arrangements for 3- to 11-year-olds in England, and of developments in the area during the past thirty years.

It describes how English can be taught most effectively, calls for an urgent review of some aspects of the current National Curriculum and its associated tests, and – crucially – proposes viable alternatives.

Based on a series of much-admired booklets released by the UKLA in 2015, this accessible guide to both theory and practice will be of interest to teachers, student teachers, teacher-educators, advisers and policy-makers in the UK and internationally.
