Guest Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Can you please help a very distressed degree student? I am currently undertaking research and I have put in reams and reams of work but I fear this could all fall flat on it's face. Even though I have contacted and sent out questionnaires to a number of schools and teachers, replies have been limited to say the least. I have a short questionnaire for teachers currently teaching Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. I aim to find out what problems, If any, they have experienced with the transition between Reception and Year 1, and whether the way to resolving these problems would be to bring the foundation stage curriculum up further into Year 1. Obviously this would in turn affect the year " teacher if SATS were not abolished first. I have had a meeting with Gail Bedford, the lady who is heading the research into this area for the Dfes, which was extremely interesting, however I now need the Primary research to add some weight to my own research. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!! I don't know if or how I could put the Questionnaire on to this site (except for retyping it all out) Therefore perhaps it would be best if you could Email me at: lee.sweet2@btopenworld.com I would be extremely grateful for your time and consideration. P.S. I have used this site many times and have picked up some good thoughts on this area, however I think it perhaps needs to be in a tighter question / answer format for me to get the most out of this topic for my own research!!

Guest Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Amanda, How much time have you got before you have to hand this in? If time is really too short to do a quantative study, what about doing a case study on one or two schools in your area, to support your existing work? Interviews with staff covering the transition from Foundation to key stage one could prove very interesting! Hope you get lots of feedback, Kindest regards, roe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jillbetts Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Amanda Part of my job includes supporting children in transition in the foundation stage. If I can be of any help please ask. I could also write realms and realms on this subject, but I am unsure of what you require. If I can help I will.

Steve Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi Amanda - If it would help I could put an online questionnaire up for you, which members could fill in on the website. The result from each response would then be emailed through to you individually. You can see the sort of thing I've done before by clicking here. Of course, if you already have all the questions ready to send as an email to any member that wants to fill it in, that may be just as convenient for you? Regards, Steve.

Steve Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Sorry - stupid mistake. If I'm not asking too much, it should be fixed now. You can test it by not filling out any of the fields and clicking the submit button if you like - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Amanda I too am just about to undertake research in this area. I am currently at the early stages of seeing what's aout there on the literature front and have realised it is a bit limited. Please share any research hints and tips on this topic, as I am not too sure where to start with it all! How are you getting on with your resarch now? Better I hope!
