Hello zimplysimple,

Do you ever wish that you had a reliable source of information, backed by education research, that you could tap into whenever you need to explore a pedagogical approach or theoretical concept, or to find out more about a particular condition or learning difficulty?

Then our new research series could be just what you've been looking for.

Over 60 pages of interviews with acclaimed academics, the Tes Research series: volume one will provide you with the information you need to know about:
Checklist Icon Being a research-informed professional: Dylan William, emeritus professor of educational assessment at UCL Institute of Education, talks about the usefulness of the research that's out there and how teachers are currently consuming it.
Checklist Icon How memory works: World-renowned memory researchers Professors Robert and Elizabeth Bjork explain how to match teaching to what we know about how memory works, and why linking learning to a student's interests is key.
Checklist Icon Dyslexia: Professor Margaret Snowling, president of St John’s College Oxford, is one of the world’s leading dyslexia researchers. Here, she addresses myths around the condition and warns that education is still missing opportunities to help support students at an earlier stage.
Checklist Icon Growth Mindset: Carol Dweck, Lewis and Virginia Eaton professor of psychology at Stanford University, is the creator of the highly popular growth mindset theory. Here she embraces the intense scrutiny that the theory has been subjected to and delves headfirst into the questions behind its validity.
Checklist Icon The use of play in education: Dr Sara Baker is trying to change perceptions of play in the classroom with her work at Cambridge’s Play in Education, Development and Learning (PEDAL) Centre. She conducts research into the use of play in schools and believes that we might have been getting it wrong.
Checklist Icon How we learn to read: Daniel Willingham, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and one of the world’s leading experts on research into reading, talks through the three processes children need to get right to become successful readers and why teachers need to overcome the fact that phonics resources tend to be 'boring'.
Checklist Icon Autism: Uta Frith is one of the world's leading experts on autism and emeritus professor of cognitive development at UCL. She began studying autism in 1966 when it was an emerging field of research, and says we're now a much more autistic-aware society, but that myths and misunderstandings still remain, particularly in schools.
