| Summary |
This research project was designed to investigate whether the current interest in the middle years of schooling is a 'fad' or a 'bandwagon'. Issues discussed include: Are the middle years of schooling a sustainable, profound set of educational ideas and reforms? Have the school-organisational, industrial and curricular reforms at the school level appreciably changed pedagogy in classrooms for the better? In what shapes and configurations can it make a calculable difference for the academic and social outcomes, life pathways and social futures of kids of particular target groups? Will such initiatives have an impact on mainstream secondary teaching and secondary teacher training? and, Are there coherent or generalisable approaches to literacy and numeracy education in the middle years that can make an educational difference?
