Teacher-Student Attitude Similarity and Information Retention

Barric Wade teaches at the Faculty of Education, University of Birmingham, and has research interests in several aspects of learning, special needs and communication, specifically pupils' abilities to learn through story (see his recent book, Story at Home and School). Roger Poole is Head of English at a West Midlands comprehensive school. His study of children's responses to educational television, which formed part of his work for an MEd degree at Birmingham University in 1982, has led to further research, among his own pupils, into the nature of responses and into factors affecting attitude-change. ABSTRACTThe paper is concerned with the need to stimulate and evaluate pupils' responses to educational television broadcasts in English. In particular, it presents a comparative assessment of written follow-up work during a series of broadcasts. Case study methods are used within one comprehensive school and involve 49 15-year-old pupils. Results suggest that those pupils consistently engaging in small-group discussion are likely to produce better written work and to develop greater independence in formulating their ideas.
