Early-Childhood
Hi,
I am hoping someone can point me in the direction of some balanced journal
articles about the NNS, particularly recent ones. I am a psychologist
researching short term memory and the development of maths skills in 4-7
yr olds and I want to incorporate some research about the NNS.
I have the offcial documents from NFER and the govt websites, however,
every teacher I talk to has an opinion that seems to contradict
the "official" stance on the effectiveness of the NNS.
While most of the teachers I talk to accept that the NNS does work for the
most part, it seems that most of them also think that certain parts are
not working for the children or the teachers.
I am finding that most of the published research is weighed more on the
positive side, and doesn't provide a balanced view.
If you have any opinions on this or know of some articles that might be of
use, then i'd be glad to hear from you.
