Written and researched by Eileen Carnell, this ground-breaking study seeks to discover what young people think of their learning within the Key Stage 3 National Strategy environment in Year 8. By asking questions such as 'What do you like and value about school?', 'What helps your learning?' and 'What is a good learner?', the researcher found that young people value highly their school experiences and appreciate the support given to them by teachers but argue that the pressures of tests and exams interfere with their learning.
The report concludes that while the Key Stage 3 Strategy has had many positive effects on teachers, the effects on young people are not as great as had been anticipated.
