11. 200020012002200320042005200620072008/9 Phase I Phase II Scottish Extensions Phase III SECTORS Early Years education Primary education Secondary education Through schooling Further and post-16 education Higher education Workplace education CPD and Lifelong learning

12. Teaching and Learning Research Programme Further and post-16 education: How does policy impact on teaching, learning and assessment in post- 16 provision? What effects do organisational cultures have on learning in further education? Could learner careers be enhanced through community-based education? What everyday literacies might learners use in formal education, and with what effects?

13. Teaching and Learning Research Programme Higher education: Could we improve student outcomes if we understood teaching and learning better? With increasing diversity in HE, how do social and organisational factors affect students’ learning? Given widening participation, what is the experience of disabled students at university? We increasingly depend on specialists, but how does expertise develop? Does ‘problem-based learning’ really improve student learning?

14. Teaching and Learning Research Programme Workplace learning: Can workplace cultures be developed to improve learning outcomes? How do people learn at work and contribute to organizational performance? How do workers understand and develop skills in new technologies? Can adults’ basic skills be improved through workplace learning?

15. Teaching and Learning Research Programme CPD and lifelong learning: Beyond university, how do graduate professionals learn on-the-job? What are the particular needs of new teachers? Can learning with and from peers improve learning outcomes? How can professional agencies learn to work together to deliver public services? How can individuals’ learning be supported throughout the lifecourse? What is the significance of learning in people’s lives?

25. Teaching and Learning Research Programme THE OVERARCHING CHALLENGE ‘Doing better’ in using research to inform policy and practice. from TLRP’s projects, we expect findings on specific issues of contemporary significance; from TLRP as a whole, we aim for ‘added value’.

26. Teaching and Learning Research Programme Added value through: analysing key issues across the whole Programme; theorising general principles; identifying applications for policy and practice.

28. Teaching and Learning Research Programme ‘Social science should be at the core of public policy making.’ ‘In my field of education, and others, we want to work with social scientists on how we can do better.’ ‘I commit myself to trying to work with you.’ Rt Hon Charles Clarke, MP, Secretary of State for Education and Skills (ESRC Summer Reception, Millbank, 24 th June 2003)
