Synopsis

Based on original research, Peter Woods describes and analyzes illuminating educational events which occur in schools. Such events are explained as periods of particularly effective teaching. They represent ultimates in teacher and pupil educational experiences which are, in this volume, reconstructed through teacher and pupil "voices". Detailed enquiries are made in an attempt to understand how these "critical events" were conceived and implemented, and what their outcomes were in terms of educational gain. The model of "critical event" arising from the study is presented as a practical framework for understanding other similar occurrences within schools. The events shown are: the making of an award winning book, the making of an award winning community video, the planning and design of an heritage centre on an actual site, and the production of an award-winning musical drama. The first of these occurred in primary schools, the last in a comprehensive school. A final chapter considers the position of critical events in the National Curriculum.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume describes and analyses exceptional educational events – periods of particularly effective teaching representing ultimates in teacher and pupil educational experience. The events themselves are reconstructed in the book through teacher and pupil voices and through documentation. A model of ‘critical event’ is derived from the study, which might serve as a possible framework for understanding other such occurrences in schools.
