The courageous and positive engagement with teachers and practitioners will continue and flourish into hopeful anti-racist action leading to a more racially just society.Introduction
For many years, school curriculum resources have been designed without explicit reference to research evidence and without extensive trialling in classrooms (Burkhardt & Schoenfeld, 2003; Foster et al., 2021). There are now increasing calls for the design of school curriculum materials to be informed by the best-available research evidence. But what exactly does that bulgaria email list mean and how can it be achieved?
Over the past few years, as a team of researchers at Loughborough University, we have been attempting to design such a curriculum. In partnership with schools, we have developed materials that take account of the education literature as well as research into educational design and cognitive science. Our curriculum comprises a complete set of free resources for teaching mathematics to ages 11–14 (the LUMEN Curriculum).
In this blog post, we draw on our recent article in the Curriculum Journal (Foster et al., 2024) to consider some of the tensions that emerged as we sought to apply principles from cognitive science to our curriculum design.
