Rurality is known to be associated with a number of weaker educational outcomes, from lower attainment through to lower social mobility. This is why so much policy and practitioner focus has been directed at addressing the rurality gap in educational outcomes. In this paper, we use pupil-level data for Scotland to contribute to two dimensions of…

Luke Billingham; Fern Gillon – British Educational Research Journal, 2024
School exclusion reduction in Scotland--and especially in the city of Glasgow--has received substantial media and policy attention in recent years.

Jordan, Karen E. – British Educational Research Journal, 2023
Although fostering values is promoted within environmental and sustainability education (ESE) and a shift in values is seen as essential for a sustainable future, recent international findings indicate that this aspect of ESE is being neglected. Previous research has shown there to be common ground between ESE and the field of character education…

Duta, Adriana; Iannelli, Cristina; Breen, Richard – British Educational Research Journal, 2021
Over the last decades, various policies at national and local levels have been implemented to widen participation in higher education (HE) in Scotland and more widely in the UK. Despite this, the acquisition of a HE qualification is still largely determined by the family in which individuals are born. Our study provides new evidence on the extent…

Galloway, Sarah – British Educational Research Journal, 2021
The objective of this theoretical article is to critique the notion that adult education, in its current marketised formations, might serve the purpose of rehabilitating learners. To date there has been no detailed interrogation by educationalists of the desirability of rehabilitation as an overarching aim for prison education, or to consider the…

Lasselle, Laurence; Johnson, Mike – British Educational Research Journal, 2021
At a time when interventions in widening access to, and participation in, higher education aim to maximise impact by engaging with schools located in the most deprived communities, school pupils in rural communities, and who experience deprivation, are, in practice, less likely to benefit. Using statistics available from the Scottish government,…

Paterson, Lindsay – British Educational Research Journal, 2020
Reforms to secondary schooling in the 20th century are most commonly discussed in relation to structures--the extension of secondary education to all students in the first half of the century, and the ending of selection into different kinds of school after the 1960s. Yet reformers also sought to give students a more satisfactory experience of…

Cox, Fiona M.; Marshall, Alan D. – British Educational Research Journal, 2020
Government statistics show that children with special educational needs and disabilities do not achieve as well academically as their peers, which impacts on later employment and socioeconomic circumstances. Addressing these inequalities is a key policy area which currently lacks a satisfactory evidence base. To explore the issue, the present…

Moir, Taryn; Boyle, James; Woolfson, Lisa M. – British Educational Research Journal, 2020
The ability to read relies upon not just decoding, but also comprehending text. Being a good comprehender requires strategic reading and implies the use of comprehension strategies.
