UYSEG Network meeting 11 Dec 2015

Practical independent research projects in secondary science

Recent changes in the assessment of practical work has resulted in considerable interest in the role that practical independent research projects could play in school science. What benefits are there to pupils in undertaking such projects? What impact do they have on pupils' interest in science? This interactive workshop will focus on a review of research on practical independent research projects in secondary science led by Professor Judith Bennett and conducted by researchers at the University of York and University College London Institute of Education. In the session we will explore the implications of the review’s findings for practice in school.
