Raising EAL learners' attainment (REAL)

研究目的及问题研究目的1（主管项目）：评估《持久学习原则》在转变教学方法方面的影响，以改变学生人口结构相同的小学和中学的EAL学生的教学方式。rq1.1教师在接受使用持久学习原则的培训后，对EAL的实践有什么变化和理解？变化是否一致？ a)每个学校的员工，b)整个学校？研究目标2（学生项目）：分析具有相同学生人口结构的小学和中学EAL学生的教学方法变化与英语相关学业成绩之间的关系。培训教师练习使用《持久学习原则》是否能提高英语教学能力（词汇、阅读理解、写作）？rq2.2学生认为成功的驱动因素/障碍是什么？主管内奥米·弗林（Naomi Flynn）目前正在与南安普顿的一所学校合作，这所学校是一个名为Aspire Community Trust的学校网络的一部分，这些学校是这个学生项目的合作伙伴。弗林博士在这些学校的工作包括应用研究，她直接与教师合作，通过提供专业发展来改善他们的教学方法，以提高学生的成就。专业发展框架与美国已经开发和试验的一种行之有效的方法结合在一起，这种方法被称为“学习的持久原则”（在出版物中，它被称为“标准”或“有效教学法标准”）。本指南附加了与此方法相关的标题。Flynn博士与印第安纳大学的Annela Teemant教授建立了研究伙伴关系，后者是该方法的主要架构师。两位学者都有一个更长远的目标，那就是让学校能够独立地在实践中采用和嵌入持久学习原则。这个项目将产生数据来证明这种教学方法的成功和局限性。学生项目是一项混合方法的研究，重点是通过定量数据收集和分析来衡量学生的进步。它补充了弗林博士对教师实践变化的定性分析。

Research aims and questionsResearch Aim 1 (lead supervisor's project): To evaluate the impact of The Enduring Principles of Learning in transforming pedagogy for the teaching of pupils with EAL in primary and secondary schools with a shared pupil demographic.RQ 1.1 What are the changes in and understanding of teachers' practice for EAL when trained in use of The Enduring Principles of Learning?RQ 1.2 Are changes consistent a) across staff within each school and b) across schools?Research Aim 2 (studentship project): To analyse the relationship between changes in pedagogy for EAL and the English-related academic outcomes of pupils with EAL in primary and secondary schools with a shared pupil demographic.RQ 2.1 Does training teachers to practice using The Enduring Principles of Learning lead to enhanced English language proficiency (vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing) in pupils with EAL? RQ 2.2 What are the drivers for/barriers to success as perceived by pupils?The lead supervisor, Naomi Flynn, is currently working with one school in Southampton, which is part of a network of schools, called Aspire Community Trust who are the collaborative partners in this studentship. Dr Flynn's work with these schools consists of applied research through which she is working directly with teachers by delivering professional development to improve their pedagogy with a view to improving pupils' attainment. The professional development framework is wedded to a proven-successful approach already developed and trialled in the US called The Enduring Principles of Learning (in publications this is referred to as The Standards, or The Standards for Effective Pedagogy). A rubric related to this approach is appended to this guidance. Dr Flynn has an established researcher partnership with Professor Annela Teemant of Indiana University who is the principle architect of this approach. Both academics have a longer-term goal of empowering schools to adopt and embed the Enduring Principles of Learning in practice independently. This project will generate data to evidence the successes and limitations of this approach to teaching. The studentship project is a mixed methods study with an emphasis on measuring pupil progress through quantitative data collection and analysis. It complements Dr Flynn's qualitative analysis of teachers' changing practice.
