The purpose of this section is to make available some of the research that I conducted at the start of teaching career in secondary education in the United Kingdom.

Here you will find 5 pieces of research centring on various topics. Although written nearly 10 years ago, it is hoped that they still might provide an insight into  aspects of contemporary educational theory and enable today’s researchers and trainees to compare and contrast current and past approaches and methods.

Lesson Planning and the use of ICT

Factors affecting Learning 

Pupil Progress and Assessment 

A Comparison of Primary and Secondary MFL Teaching in the UK

English as an Additional Language: Is the UK doing enough? 

NB these articles have comments on them from my PGCE tutors, as the originals were lost in a memory stick crisis!
