Principles for Effective Pedagogy

The UK Teaching and Learning Research Programme worked for ten years to improve outcomes for learners in schools and other sectors through high quality research. One outcome was the development of ten ‘evidence-informed’ principles for effective pedagogy. This book provides a scholarly account of the research evidence that informed the development of these principles, as well as offering some evidence of early take-up and impact. It also includes responses from highly-respected researchers throughout the world in order to locate the work in the broader international literature, to extend it by drawing on similar work elsewhere, to provide critique and to stimulate further development and debate. This book offers a contribution to international dialogue on effective teaching and learning, and provides a focus for scholarly comment, sharing of expertise and knowledge accumulation. It was originally published as a special issue of Research Papers in Education.
