The document discusses the effectiveness of practical work in science education under the new GCSE curriculum in the UK, which no longer includes internal assessment of practical work. It presents frameworks for considering the effectiveness of practical work in developing both manipulative skills and conceptual understanding. While some argue schools may reduce practical activities, others believe teachers may re-evaluate practical work to effectively develop both domains. The author aims to study strategies teachers use to develop the domains, and the effectiveness and views of teachers regarding changes to assessment of practical work.

A Development of Students’ Worksheet Based on Contextual Teaching and LearningIOSRJM
This research is aimed at developing the students’ worksheet to determine the quality of validity and practicality aspects based on expert’s assessment of materials, expert’s design, media specialists, an individual assessment of students’ testing, a small group assessment of students trial, and a field trials assessment of students.This study is adapted from the development of ADDIE model which consists of 5 stages: 1) Analysis, 2) design, 3) Development, 4) Implementation, and 5) evaluation. The results showed that the quality of students' worksheet of mathematics on materials of factorization in algebra-based on Contextual Teaching and Learning basically on the assessment of: 1) the experts’ of subject materials is obtained a total average of 3.81 is included in the category of "Good" or scored 76.2 % which is included in the category of "Very Decent", 2) the experts’ design is obtained a total average of 3.62 which is included in the category of "Good" or scored 72.4% which is included in the category "Decent", 3) the experts’ of media is obtained scored 4:43 which is included in the category of "Good" or scored 88.6% which is in the category of "Very Decent".Whereas, the assessment by the students is done in three stages: 1) an individual assessment of students’ testing is obtained average total of 4.75 which is included in the category of "Very Good" or 95% which is included in the category of "Very Decent", 2) a small group assessment of students trial is obtained total average of 4:58 which is included in the category of "Very Good" or scored 91.6% thus it is included in the category of "Very Decent", 3) a field trials assessment of students is obtained a total average of 4:43 which is included in the category of "Very Good" or scored 88.6% thus it is included in the category of "Very Decent". Thus mathematics on materials of factorization in algebra-based on Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) is declared valid and practical so it can be used as the learning equipment of mathematics at the factorization material algebra.

Stephen Phillips - Implementing an inquiry based approach into our schoolSails-project
Presented at the SMEC & SAILS Conference “Thinking Assessment in Science & Mathematics” which was held on 24-25 June 2014 in the Dublin City University in Ireland.
Poster: Implementing an inquiry based approach into our school
We approached the use of inquiry in our school from two different perspectives: 1) How should we go about teaching inquiry at Wilson’s School? What topics shall we pilot teaching at Wilson’s teaching? What are the challenges faced by the teacher and by students? 2) What happens when we raise students’ self-awareness of their communication skills, using inquiry tasks? How will the staff and students feel towards inquiry-based lessons? Will they enjoy them? Will they trust them? Will they see the value in them and their relevance to the real world?
Increasing Grade 9 Students TLE MPS using a Blended Approach with Manychatijtsrd
The study used Blended Learning and the Manychat application to improve the TLE MPS of Sto Nino National High School Grade 9 students. Purposive sampling was used to select two groups of grade nine students with the lowest MPS. The term blended learning refers to instructional models that combine traditional classroom practice with e learning solutions. Manychat, on the other hand, is a service that allows you to build chatbots for Facebook Messenger. These chatbots have a wide range of applications, including marketing and customer service. The study assessed the performance of Grade 9 Dressmaking students in administering the pre test and post test for both the experimental and control groups. The study also determined whether there is a significant difference in the pre test and post test results for both experimental and conventional groups. In the implementation of the Manychat as an instructional tool in T.L.E. 9 or any subjects interested in the intervention used, an action plan was proposed. The study used a experimental design. Mean, standard deviation, dependent and independent t tests were used to assess the performance of students instructed in the intervention program. The study found that using the Blended Method with Manychat is an effective tool for teaching T.L.E. Dressmaking to grade 9 students. Using the Blended Method, their performance and scores in the pre test and post test had greatly improved. As a result, the study concluded that the Blended Method with Manychat can be used as a tool in teaching TLE for the continuous improvement of proficiency level in TLE subject.

Metacognitive Strategies: Instructional Approaches in Teaching and Learning o...IJAEMSJORNAL
The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of the metacognitive strategies as instructional approaches in teaching and learning of Basic Calculus. A number of 48 students consisting of 24 boys and 24 girls were purposively sampled in this study. Pretest-posttest quasi experimental research design was used which applied t-test and descriptive statistics. Both groups were subject to two instruments that were comprised of problem-solving test (pretest and posttest) and observation guide. Experimental group was taught Basic Calculus using metacognitive strategies while the control group was taught Basic Calculus using traditional teaching strategies. Both groups were subject to a pretest. Class observation was done while the two teaching strategies were applied. In the end, the posttest was administered to both groups to identify the effectiveness of the two teaching strategies. The data gathered were treated using paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. The results of the study showed that the experimental group had significantly higher posttest scores as compared to control group which proved that metacognitive teaching strategies were more effective in improving the performance and problem-solving skills of the students than the traditional teaching strategies. It was also observed that students who taught using metacognitive strategies helped the students to be extremely engaged in Basic Calculus lessons cognitively, behaviorally, and affectively. The study reveals that the significant increase of the students’ learning engagement in Basic Calculus lessons led the students to a corresponding increase in their posttest scores.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Does the new GCSE science curriculum
improve the effectiveness of practical work in
Key Stage 4 classes?
3. Purpose of practical work?
domain of
objects and
observables
domain of
ideas
Practical work is the bridge between these two domains
Hands-on
Minds-on
http://toreto.co/chemistry-titration/ https://www.chronicle.com/article/Beyond-Critical-
Thinking/63288
Practical work: linking two domains (from Tiberghien, 2000)
4. What is ‘effectiveness’?
Task
specification
(what the pupils are
meant to do)
Teacher’s
objectives
(what the pupils are
meant to learn)
Classroom
activities
(what the pupils actually
do)
Learning
outcomes
(what the pupils actually
learn)
effectiveness
(1)
(2)
‘Effectiveness’,
relates to how
well the
objectives are
met.
Two-level model of effectiveness (adapted from Millar et al, 1999, p.37)
5. Effectiveness of a practical activity
Effective in the domain of
objects and
observables
in the domain of ideas
at level (1)
(While they carry out the
practical task)
What I want pupils to do in
the task..
Can they do this?
What concepts/ideas I
want pupils to think about
during the task….
Are they doing this?
at level (2)
(post-practical)
Can pupils later recall
what they did in the task?
Do they do this?
Do pupils later show
understanding of the ideas
the task meant to help
them learn…
Do they do this?
2x 2 effectiveness matrix
2x 2 effectiveness matrix :Analytical framework for considering the effectiveness of a
practical task (adapted from Abrahams and Millar, 2008, p.1949)
6. • Previous research findings(Abrahams &
Millar, 2008) have highlighted the
ineffectiveness of practical work in the
domain of ideas.
7. • The practical work that teachers opt to do
is influenced by the science curriculum
particularly by the method of assessment
of the practical work, as highlighted in the
studies on practical work (Abrahams and
Reiss, 2012) and in the assessment of
science education (Bernholt, Neumann
and Nentwig, 2012).
8. The new GCSE science curriculum has
removed the internal assessment of
practical work in the schools but the exam
papers will include 15% worth questions on
understanding of practical work in both
domains.
9. There are concerns..
• ..that schools will reduce funding for practical work
in school (Gatsby Charitable Foundation, the Nuffield
Foundation and the Wellcome Trust Consultation
Response, 2015).
• ..that students will be shown demonstrations or
watch videos of the practical at a fraction of the cost,
resulting in weaker manipulative skills gained by
students.
• ..that universities already struggle with the weak
practical skills of their first year students (Grant,
2011) and 39% of businesses say they had difficulty
in recruiting staff with good STEM skills (CBI, 2014).
10. On the other hand…
• It is possible that teachers may now have the
autonomy to re-evaluate their reasons for doing
practical work, moving away from the practice of
rehearsing practical work for highest marks
procurement.
• Learners require proficiency in domains of
observables as well as ideas therefore teachers
may be encouraged to deliver practical tasks
effectively in both domains.
11. The research questions guiding my study are:
• In the new GCSE science curriculum ,what strategies
do teachers use to develop effectiveness in the two
domains of practical work?
• In the new GCSE science curriculum, is the practical
work effective in achieving intended objectives in
domain of observables?
• In the new GCSE science curriculum, is the practical
work effective in achieving the intended objectives in
domain of ideas?
• How do science teachers view the changes to the
assessment policy on GCSE science practical work?
14. Initial findings
• More stress given for domain of ideas-
focus on exam style questions
• Lab books
• Retention and recall
• Revision
• Support- external and internal
• Equipment
• Funding
• Qualitative analysis
• Waiting period till exam
• Extended projects/investigations

Students will be questioned on experience that they have gained from practical work and required to demonstrate their understanding of scientific experimentation.
The mathematical content is also taking a step up and there will be a higher expectation that students can utilise their maths skills within science. In physics for example 30% of exam marks will test maths skills!
.
Practical work is an essential part of science training. it should be embedded across the science curriculum with specific details on which experimental skills and strategies are included in each area.
The current system of controlled practical assessment is deeply flawed: it consumes valuable teaching time and is vulnerable to widespread malpractice
The current norm at GCSE is ‘controlled assessment’, whereby, in science, candidates have to carry out one or two investigations from a small number set by the Awarding Organisation under highly controlled conditions.
There is universal agreement among those we consulted that this assessment method is deeply flawed.
It makes teachers focus on a narrow range of externally-set practicals as they hone students to do well in what constitutes 25% of their final grade.
Students are internally assessed on their planning and analytical abilities (not on their technical skills) by their teachers who, under our high stakes system, are under enormous pressure to give students maximum marks.
The new GCSE science curriculum has removed the internal assessment of practical work in the schools but the exam papers will include 15% worth questions on understanding of practical work in both domains.

My study will explore the validity of concerns about decline in practical work, by observing the current practices of teaching the practical work, under the new curriculum in schools.
Gatsby 2011 identify the likely impact on practical work of the upcoming education policy changes, including
the changes to the National Curriculum, funding mechanisms, Local Authority involvement and
initial teacher education;
