Even in the summer season, newspapers featured a new research review with headlines such as "Pupils do better if teachers are not fixated on test results" (Guardian).
The key theme of this review is that:
- focus on performance can depress performance, whereas
- a focus on learning can enhance performance.
Come and examine the detail of this review, the research on classrooms and the implications for practice, with its author Chris Watkins.
