And also
The research also provides insight into
what works for Year 7 and 8 students:
Ministry of Education by Dinham and Rowe
of the Australian Council for Educational
Research. 2007
• From the broader ‘teaching and learning literature’,
there is strong evidence that the quality of teaching
which students receive at all levels and stages of
schooling is of major importance in influencing
achievement outcomes for students.
• While productive and positive student-teacher
relationships are identified as an important
characteristic of highly performing schools
catering for middle years’ students, it needs to be
acknowledged that good teachers and school leaders
at all levels of schooling is what works.
• It is therefore debateable whether at least some
aspects of the philosophy and enactment of middle
schooling is any different from ‘good’ teaching and
effective schooling generally in all school types.
The literature is clear in advocating ‘middle schooling
approaches focusing on quality teaching and
enhanced learning’ rather than on school type.
Therefore it is what happens in the classroom to
support learning and what happens across the school
to cater for the specific developmental, cognitive,
physical, emotional and social needs of Year 7 and 8
that makes the difference. Not school type.
The research on middle schooling and its implications
to provide quality education to Year 7 and 8 students
is as applicable to full primary school as it is for other
schooling types.
