Good Teaching and Learning: Pupils and Teachers Speak

Reports a five year research project which aimed to capture the voices of secondary school pupils and teachers on how they defined key aspects of quality in learning and teaching. Based on individual interviews with 207 pupils and 133 teachers in ten British comprehensive schools with socially and geographically different catchment areas, it describes and compares student and teacher perspectives on topics such as what constitutes good teaching, successful lessons, and why pupils learn more in some classes.
