The ORACLE (Observation and Classroom Learning and Evaluation) and
its follow-up study address the following questions:
Has teaching in the primary school changed over the past twenty
years?
Has pupil performance improved or declined?
Are the links between certain teacher approaches and pupil
achievement still the same?
Has the National Curriculum had any important consequences for the
way in which transfer is conducted?
One of the main claims of the National Curriculum is that it has
provided greater continuity through the various stages and this
should be reflected in smoother transition from one school to the
next. This book focuses on the issue of transfer from the primary
to the secondary school, using data from the ORACLE project.
This study which took place from 1975 to 1980, followed by 'Son of
ORACLE', the study of group-work in the primary classroom 1980 to
1983, has had an enormous influence on the debate on primary
education. The studies described in detail what took place in
primary classrooms, the teaching styles used by teachers and the
responses made by pupils. It linked these processes to pupil
performance. Finally, it followed the pupils as they transferred
out of the primary school into the secondary phase of education.
At present a new research project is being carried out in
Leicester. It involves studying primary schools for one year and
then following the children as they transfer to the secondary phase
or to a middle school. The project involves two thirds of the
schools used in the original ORACLE research. In addition, the same
observation instruments and the same tests, modified for cultural
differences, are being used.
