CRPP - Research Reports

"This progress report relates to the third study in the DCL suite - the analysis of student artefacts collected during the unit of school work being observed. It is focused on three key issues relating to CRPP's research mission in general and to the DCL project's overall aim: 1. The need for a more systematic attention to epistemological issues in pedagogical research, a concern with nature of knowledge as it is enacted, conveyed and built in school work and through curriculum and assessment materials. 2. The need expressed by both researchers and professionals for more systematic attention to the ways in which new communication and representational technologies are implying more sophisticated and diverse forms of multimodal representation. 3. The need for the teachers to take an open-textured task design perspective towards the planning and execution of the lesson activities and setting and marking of student work."-- [p. 1-2].
