Williams, Sara; McEwen, Lindsey – Environmental Education Research, 2021
Climate change scenarios project higher flood risk, so knowing how households can increase socio-ecological resilience is essential. Children rarely feature in UK policy guidance about how households prepare for floods, and research is limited about children's roles in local resilience building. Using a participatory action research, child-centred…

Moore-Anderson, Christian – School Science Review, 2022
Short-answer questions are commonly used for assessment in secondary biology education, but their scope limits what can be observed. If a curriculum intends to encourage students to think deeply about how biological systems function, or to integrate physiology, development, evolution and ecology, then longer-answer assessments are required. This…

For those in 'system leader' roles in English schools, whether formally designated or informally appropriated, there has not been much systematic or long-term thinking about professional development to date. To contribute to such thinking, this paper presents a common framework for system leader development, based on consultancy research. The…

Constantinides, Michalis – Journal of Educational Change, 2023
This paper takes ecological systems theory as a conceptual basis for defining and examining the main aspects of 'system leadership' in a large-sized multi-school group, such as a multi-academy trust (MAT) in the context of England. The theory provides a sound framework for understanding the processes and interactions involved in this notion of…

Moore-Anderson, Christian – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In the context of England, secondary biology education is dominated by sub-organismal systems, such as physiology, often to the detriment of evolution & ecology and impeding an integrated understanding of biology. This paper proposes a framework that teachers could use to help them consider how the learning of physiological and developmental…

Elsenbroich, Corinna; Badham, Jennifer – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
Agent-based models combine data and theory during both development and use of the model. As models have become increasingly data driven, it is easy to start thinking of agent-based modelling as an empirical method, akin to statistical modelling, and reduce the role of theory. We argue that both types of information are important where the past is…
