                  SEMINAR BY PROF. STEPHEN GORARD
                         CARDIFF UNIVERSITY


                          Research Seminar
                       Wednesday, 22 January

              School of Lifelong Learning & Education
                       Middlesex University
                           4.15 - 5.45pm.


             Numbers in Research and Policy Debates in
                             Education:
                     are they really necessary?

As learners, teachers and parents we are greatly
concerned about education and how it affects us as
citizens. The ways in which we measure how
children and adults learn not only affect life chances
but influence educational choices and government
policy. 'Poor' social science and educational
research is often blighted by a senseless use of
measurement - or at least an inability to appreciate
what numbers can really do.  On the other hand,
complex, multilevel analyses can sometimes make
research articles unreadable.

In 2001 a major initiative was set up to support
research across education and the social sciences
through competence building and support
networks. The Teaching and Learning Research
Programme started three years ago and will support
educational research in schools, colleges and higher
education through to 2010 across the UK. The third
phase of this work in currently reviewing project
applications and will support community education
and Work Based Learning.

Stephen Gorard directs the Research Building
Capacity Network based in Cardiff. He will discuss
innovations in research by using numbers to reveal
rather than conceal, to illuminate rather than
confuse. His talk will stimulate your thinking about
learning and how we can judge it, enjoy it, and use
numbers to measure it.

Professor Gorard is Director of the Research Capacity Building Network
at Cardiff University  and also works with the Teaching and Learning
Research Programme of which this University is a part. His talk is aimed
at research students, researchers and academics across the University
