Action Research in Higher Education : exploring ways of creating and holding the space for reflection
(2005)This article explores the place of individual and collective reflection in action research in higher education. It draws on the experience of a year-long project in which a group of five lecturers explored their practice ... -
Making a Difference : a study of the impact of continuing professional development on professional practice
(2002)There is a current debate concerning what constitutes evidence of impact on practice resulting from teachers' engagement in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses. The authors present two case studies of teachers ... -
Revealing invisible worlds: connecting the mainstream with bilingual children's home and community learning
(2002)This article sets out to make the point that if teachers and others have, as the evidence by which they will place, teach and assess young bilinguals, only those children’s performance in English, they are not likely to ... -
Language development at home and school : gains and losses in young bilinguals
(2001)In this paper we examine the topic of the language development of three young bilingual children at both home and school. Our aim is to consider the language issues that arise in such children, taking into account their ... -
Words and turns : bilingual and monolingual children construct a story
(2001)This paper reports on a small-scale investigation into story-telling performance in bilingual and monolingual children. Working with a familiar adult (a teacher), these two groups of children were exposed individually to ... -
Multi-level responses to behavioural issues in schools
(David Fulton Publishing Ltd., 2004)The challenges posed by the behaviour of some pupils can only be properly addressed if support is extended beyond the classroom. Linking theory and practice, this book outlines a range of assessment and intervention ... -
Understanding student behaviour in schools: : a Diversity of Approaches
(David Fulton Publishing Ltd., 2004)The expert contributors to this book make sense of the different approaches to understanding pupil behaviour in schools, providing a comprehensive overview thorough discussion of key topics. The book covers: Cultural issues ... -

Inside Track, Succeeding in Exams and Assessments
(Pearson Education, 2009)Successful Exams & Assessments is suitable for students across higher education who want to improve their revision strategies and get better outcomes from exams and assessments. Covering all aspects of the examination, it ... -
Late-time observations of GRB 080319B: jet break, host galaxy and accompanying supernova
(2010)The Swift-discovered GRB 080319B was by far the most distant source ever observed at naked-eye brightness, reaching a peak apparent magnitude of 5.3 at a redshift of z = 0.937. We present our late-time optical (Hubble Space ... -
Demonstration of Coarse-Fine Grooming in Coarse-WDM-Routed PONs
(2009)A scalable access network architecture is implemented experimentally to demonstrate gradual deployment of time- and wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical networks (PONs) in a single-platform with minor changes ... -
Game theory for cooperative and relay communications in mobile ad hoc networks: a brief tutorial
(2009)In mobile ad hoc networks such as wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks, most of the functions (routing, mobility management and security) must rely on cooperation between nodes. Every node in these networks is both ... -
As time goes by: representing and reasoning about timing in human-robot interaction studies
(AAAI, 2010)We summarise the experimental design issues related to timing in several human-robot interaction scenarios investigating turn-taking or synchronization between child-sized humanoid robots and human participants. Our aim1 ... -
A doubled double hot spot in J0816+5003 and the logarithmic slope of the lensing potential
(2010)We present an analysis of observations of the doubly lensed double hot spot in the giant radio galaxy J0816+5003 from MERLIN, MDM, WIYN, WHT, UKIRT, and the VLA. The images of the two hot spot components span a factor of ... -
Parsec-scale imaging of the radio-bubble Seyfert galaxy NGC 6764
(2010)We have observed the composite active galactic nucleus (AGN)-starburst galaxy NGC 6764 with the Very Long Baseline Array at 1.6 and 4.9 GHz. These observations have detected a "core-jet" structure and a possible weak ... -
The frequency of low-mass exoplanets. II. The "Period Valley"
(2010)Radial-velocity planet search campaigns are now beginning to detect low-mass "Super-Earth" planets, with minimum masses M sin i 10 M ⊕. Using two independently developed methods, we have derived detection limits from nearly ... -
Turbulent mixing in a katabatic wind under stable conditions
(2010)The purpose of this paper is to analyze the mixing properties of the katabatic flow which develops at night or in winter on the slopes of a valley. An idealized topography is considered, the initial Brunt-Väisälä frequency ... -
Overactive bladder : Is there a link to the metabolic syndrome in men?
(2010)It is becoming increasingly clear that a variety of metabolic, cardiovascular, and endocrine factors contribute to male pelvic health. In particular, a growing body of evidence suggests a relationship between lower urinary ... -
A pilot study of the epilepsy risk awareness checklist (ERAC) in people with epilepsy and learning disabilities
(2010)Purpose: People with epilepsy are at risk of injury, and protection from potential dangers must be balanced against the need for autonomy. We developed an epilepsy risk awareness checklist (ERAC) as a tool to assess potential ... -
A Chandra observation of 3C 288 - reheating the cool core of a 3 keV cluster from a nuclear outburst at z=0.246
(2010)We present results from a 42 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the transitional FR I/FR II radio galaxy 3C 288 at z = 0.246. We detect ~3 keV gas extending to a radius of ~0.5 Mpc with a 0.5-2.0 keV luminosity of 6.6 × 1043 ...
