Abstract

This chapter summarises ideas put forward by various educational experts which are useful to teachers in undertaking collaborative action research in this field, for example Guy Claxton, Anna Craft, Howard Gardner and Ian Gilbert. It argues for more support for teachers in engaging in collaborative feelings action research as they teach, in order to plan, assess progress and justify their teaching, both informally and formally. Subjects discussed are parental feedback, creative learning, positive learning behaviours and whole body learning through senses and feelings. There is a detailed analysis of cross-curricular data from the Creative Partnerships ’ action research programme 2006, which encouraged pupils to research and evaluate their own work. It is shown how the overall assessment of schools might become more efficient where schools’ own assessments are analysed within a national framework and that learners’ active participation in setting personal targets within that improves learning motivation and results.
