Open Access research that is helping to improve educational outcomes for children

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the School of Education, including those researching educational and social practices in curricular subjects. Research in this area seeks to understand the complex influences that increase curricula capacity and engagement by studying how curriculum practices relate to cultural, intellectual and social practices in and out of schools and nurseries.

Research at the School of Education also spans a number of other areas, including inclusive pedagogy, philosophy of education, health and wellbeing within health-related aspects of education (e.g. physical education and sport pedagogy, autism and technology, counselling education, and pedagogies for mental and emotional health), languages education, and other areas.

Abstract

Ofcom reported that amongst E5 countries the UK is leading the way in terms of mobile broadband connectivity and ordering goods or services online. But with regards to citizens interacting with public authorities online, the UK ranks second last. Not only is the UK lagging behind its European colleagues, there is also a lack of skills within the public sector to significantly improve the UK position. Respondents in a survey from the National Audit Office suggested that there was a skills gap in every major area needed to transform public sector digital and technology, including design, delivery and technical skills.
