Development and Research ProgrammesDevelopment and Research programme was a phrase used by NERF to describe programmes designed to combine development and research in ways that improve classroom practice whilst simultaneously increasing theoretical understanding.NERF brought together a small number of groups that were already working on combining development and research or considering doing so. Key features of such programmes are that they: • address priority problems in educational practice; • combine practitioners, such as teachers and managers, and/or policy officials with researchers in setting the research agenda; • draw upon a range of academic disciplines, as required by the problem, across and beyond the social sciences; • operate through iterations of closely connected developmental and research activity; and • provide a range of outputs capable of both improving practice and contributing to theory. The following NERF working papers outline the concept of D&R, and potential programmes of work in two key areas: Physical Science and Maths Education and Student Behaviour: Modelling D&R Programmes: initial exploration of features Modelling D&R Programmes: workshop report Report of the Working Group on Physical Science and Maths Education Report of the Working Group on Student Behaviour D&R programmes: concept and practice |
