About the Bulletin

Evidence for teaching and learning

NERF Bulletin: Evidence for teaching and learning research publication was produced for practitioners from all phases of education.  It addressed issues of relevance across the whole education spectrum - nursery, primary and secondary schools, colleges, adult education centres and teacher training.

Using the best available research evidence, the Bulletin was written by The Centre for the Use of Research and Evidence in Education (CUREE), whose aim was to support and develop effective use of research to help improve practice and raise standards.  Articles were written in a concise, one-page format, in plain English. Topics were chosen for reference after consultation with tender groups. Research iwas selected using a quality appraisal as framework.

Evaluation

NFER evaluated the NERF Bulletin in 2004/05.  It was seen positively by teachers and added appropriately to the range of research communications.

Funding

The Bulletin was funded by NERF with the support of the Innovation Unit at the Department for Education and Skills and the General Teaching Council for England (GTCe).
