摘要:

The publication of the government White Paper Choice and Diversity has drawn attention to the problems of truancy. George Pasternicki and his colleagues have been deeply involved with this issue for some time. Here they examine a 14–18 college that has taken important steps to identify and rectify the problem. An interesting list of suggestions emerges from this investigation. We will undoubtedly be hearing more about truancy as the publication of attendance figures reaches a wider audienc

摘要:

Ewen Rennie takes us through some key questions in relation to behavioural support teaching. In setting up such provision in schools he identifies six areas for consideration. As the effect of delegated budgets begins to bite, this kind of service will find itself weighed against other priorities. One would hope that financial pressure will not eliminate the very sound practices that have evolved in the recent past.

摘要:

Keith Topping's commitment to parental involvement and peer tutoring is well known. Now, with colleagues Lesley France and Keith Revell, he introduces us to Cued Spelling. The technique is carefully explained and the interested reader will find the ten‐step chart most helpful. The evidence for its effectiveness is most encouraging and we now have another addition to our knowledge of how best to deal with spelling difficultie

摘要:

Often educational advances are the result of a fortunate happenstance. The authors of this article evolved the Say‐That‐Again technique as a chance interaction with a modern languages department who were using a digitised speech system. From this Christine Hartas and David Moseley have developed a sophisticated programme for boosting reading skills. Their initial findings are sufficiently encouraging to warrant further investigat

摘要:

Research into reading has become increasingly concerned with the concept of metacognition and its application to the development of children's reading and comprehension. In parallel with this has been the developing practice within primary schools of using novel studies as a vehicle for introducing ‘higher order reading skills’. Laura‐Ann Currie reviews this and also introduces us to the Scottish Consultative Council on the curriculum documentEnglish Language 5–14: Curriculum Assessment in Scotland ‐ A policy for the 90's.Her conclusion is that the novel is indeed an appropriate medium for the development of metacomprehensi

摘要:

Jean McGregor was privileged to visit Greece as part of a European Community initiative. The particular orientation of this visit was the integration of handicapped pupils. Jean McGregor sets this against the rich historical background of the country and examines particular developments at primary school level. A comparison is drawn with provision in the United Kingdom and she notes that strenuous attempts must be made in both countries to resist the marginalisation of such pupils.

摘要:

In Volume 7 Number 2 of this journal Mel Ainscow and Susan Hart introduced us to collaborative training. Here Catherine Clark takes this further and describes the specific technique of teacher narrative. She illustrates this with an example deployed on a course for teachers concerned with special educational needs. Her conclusion is that, in contemporary circumstances, course leaders will need to shift their focus from straightforward information dissemination to that of equal partnership.
