The project specifically compared the school based learning and outcomes of postgraduate teacher trainees on primary and secondary programmes that used different approaches (practical teaching task, pupil focussed task and no planned task other than class teaching practice) to preparing teachers for the special needs aspects of their future teaching other than class teaching practice. We will also discuss the significance of the research and ideas about future research foci.
Intended audience
Staff, students, visitors from other educational institutions and partnership schools. This may interest PGCE tutors, PGCE students and others in the School and beyond.
