  • Student Engagement in School Life and Learning: Junior College, Sixth Forms, and Mcast Year 1 Students in Malta
    Student engagement project STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN SCHOOL LIFE AND LEARNING: JUNIOR COLLEGE, SIXTH FORMS, AND MCAST YEAR 1 STUDENTS IN MALTA. Purpose of Study Understanding the nature and experience of student engagement is crucial to the success of any educational institution. The main aims of the study are: ● To determine the nature of student engagement or lack of student engagement. ● To identify the relation between the significance of student engagement and the academic achievement of students. ● To identify the different forms and purposes of student engagement in any educational institution. ● To identify different forms of student engagement that students experience academically, socially and culturally. ● To identify conditions and pedagogical approaches that support and enhance student engagement and others that may hinder student engagement. ● To identify the forms of leadership that support and hinder student engagement. ● To identify the views about student engagement of the administrators, teaching staff and support staff. Background Portelli (2005) has argued that student engagement as a concept has occupied educational research since the time of Plato and Aristotle, who contemplated the knowledge that should be passed on to future generations; while Augustine considered the role of students in the process of learning. But apart from the process of learning and the involvement of students in it, Rousseau, Montessori and Dewey also considered students’ individual and social needs, while Freire and other critical and feminist theorists have argued that the practical application of knowledge and its contribution to the emancipation of the individual as an active citizen in a democratic society also need to be contemplated (see Portelli 2005).

  • Education in Scotland
    EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND Education in Scotland is markedly different from that in the rest of the United Kingdom - with a different curriculum, school boards to oversee school management and a General Teaching Council which has been in existence since 1965. Whilst there are many examples of successful and innovative practice in Scotland, the system is quite often not recognised as different by writers who talk about the United Kingdom education system as if it were one smooth whole. This book describes recent developments in both legislation and practice in Scotland, drawing comparisons with the English system. Chapters cover adminis­ tration and management, early years education provision, the curriculum in Scotland, secondary education and special educa - tional needs. Margaret Clark is Emeritus Professor of Education at the Uni­ versity of Birmingham. Pamela Munn is Professor of Curriculum Research at Moray House Institute of Education, Edinburgh.

T The transition from the Fifth Form, with the milestones of GCSEs behind them, is an important stage in boys’ academic careers at Harrow, bringing the opportunity to choose from a wide range of A level and Elective subjects. In making their choices, boys can play to their academic strengths and develop their intellectual passions. In the Sixth Form, boys will find that they need to take more responsibility for organising themselves. Divisions are smaller, the atmosphere is more informal, and beaks will generally look for more initiative from boys in their approach to academic work. We will expect boys to read widely, both in relation to and beyond their subjects.
