Written by Inge Bates, research professor in education at the University of Leeds, and Pauline Wilson, the book explores the true meaning of independent learning, its implementation in a school setting and the lived experience for students. It examines how independent learning is incorporated in curricula, implemented by teachers and experienced by young people, as well as how it unfolds in the home context.
The book concentrates on a yearlong study to explore in depth some of the issues that concern teachers, young people and their families. It concludes with some suggestions concerning some of the policy implications arising.
Independent Learning and Social Inequality is available, priced 6.50, from NYA Publication Sales.
