Event recording
In this event, Sam will look at his research which tested these claims using fixed effect models applied to data on 1,223 pupils (age 11-14) in the German National Educational Panel Study.
The research found few links between pupil outcomes and their teachers’ orientation. The one exception is that - contrary to progressive claims - pupils develop a greater interest in learning when taught by teachers with a traditionalist orientation.
This event will be particularly useful for researchers and teachers.
This is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
