Really Raising Standards cover

Written by experienced teachers and educational researchers Phillip Adey and Michael Shayer, Really Raising Standards analyses attempts to teach children to think more effectively and efficiently. Their practical advice on how to improve children's performance by the application of the findings of the CASE research project will radically alter the approach of many professional teachers and student teachers as to the education of children in schools. An important contribution to the application of psychological theory in education.

`... recommend this book ... strongly to anyone who has specific interests in cognitive intervention programmes and indeed, to all those who are interested in reading an account of a research project aimed at raising standards in schools today.' - British Education Research Jrnl

'This book is a challenging account of an interesting experiment and should be read widely. It underlines the importance of long term research programmes based on a consistent theoretical perspective.' - European Journal for High Ability
