Presentation transcript:

More than the sum of its parts? Coordinating the ESRC Innovation and Change in Education Programme Martin Hughes (slides produced by Andrew Pollard)

Origins of the programme Conceived 1988, funded 1990 to 1996 Teaching and learning processes and outcomes in the context of 1988 Education Reform Act Commissioning: 250 outline applications, 25 shortlisted, 10 projects funded Coordinator …. as ‘an afterthought’?

Role of the coordinator Three main overlapping areas Networking Creating coherence Dissemination Shifting ESRC priorities (1993 Realising Our Potential) Changing external circumstances ‘Bewildering variety of tasks’

Working with projects Good relationships - no substitute for face to face meetings ‘One of the most difficult problems … is that of negotiating … a mutually acceptable understanding of what it means to be part of a programme.’ Programme priorities vs. project priorities

Working with ESRC Six different programme officers Steering Committee Research Programmes Board Other directors & coordinators

Creating coherence ‘With the agreement of the Steering Committee, the five overarching questions were put to one side, and a more flexible and mutually acceptable statement of the aims and objectives of the Programme was generated’. Discussions, seminars, consultation and presentations internally and externally

Five main themes Progression in learning Coherence in the curriculum The nature of effective teaching and learning Understanding innovation and change Differentiation and equal opportunities

Dissemination Three part strategy Identification of target audiences Development of dissemination products Delivery of products to targets ‘We did all we could …. But it is hard to gauge impact..’

Experiences with the media Positive coverage, and work with Maureen O’Connor Distortion/parody by Daily Telegraph ‘Re-interpretation’ of project findings on grammar for 14 year olds by politicians

Conclusions ‘A flexible, responsive model is a better description of the way most programmes operate in practice.’ Clarity about programme-project expectations and an appropriate ‘management style’ is vital. User engagement should ‘take place in a context where the intentions and assumptions of both users and researchers can be explored’. ‘Added value’ is possible, through the focus, visibility, synergy, and open and collaborative processes which a programme provides.

Teaching and Learning Research Programme TLRP background ‘reform’ throughout the UK education system concern for economic competitiveness and social inclusion aspirations for evidence-informed policy new researcher/practitioner/user alliances

Teaching and Learning Research Programme Key features Large (almost £30m, 50+ investments, 400+ researchers, sophisticated projects, often with large teams) All sectors of education (pre-school to retirement) UK-wide (England, Wales, Scotland, N. Ireland) 2000 to 2008/9 Directors’ Team of six (Andrew Pollard, Mary James, Steve Baron, Alan Brown, Miriam David, John Siraj-Blatchford – 3.5 fte) Capacity building (with associations & other initiatives)
