Research

Recent changes to curriculum highlighted the contested nature of 'subject knowledge'. This research page has been constructed to present a selection of research to help inform debate surrounding teaching and learning in 'the digital age' but with the caveat -  'pedagogy before technology'. 

Creativity and Computing

I've added this link as I found it to be an excellent summary of contemporary research regarding creativity in education.  The (2012) lit.review of ‘creativity in education’ by Prof. Anna Craft et al is a product of the EU project ‘Creative Little Scientists’. Creative Little Scientists aims to bring together creativity and science and mathematics in preschool and first years of primary education (up to the age of eight). With computing now being considered to be a fourth science, this report adds an extra dimension to discussions surrounding the notion of creativity and computing.
