Playwork Assignment

[Guest]

Hello everyone

 

Thanks so much for my warm welcome.

 

I am in the process of writing up an assignment and have a question I can't find an answer to. Does anyone know what research findings the Foundation Stage was based on. Have spent an hour on the internet trying to find out and am not having much luck.

 

Thanks

 

Nicola

Try this lovey,

 

In September 2000 the Foundation Stage was implemented for children from the age of three to the end of the reception year in primary school. A series of conferences held by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in autumn 2000 raised a range of particular challenges for those seeking to implement the Foundation Stage in reception classes.

 

Taylor Nelson Sofres was commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills to undertake a nationally representative survey of schools in consultation with Professor Carol Aubrey at the University of Warwick, to investigate and quantify these issues, covering provision and teacher characteristics, different reception class practices, and headteachers' and reception class teachers' views, attitudes and concerns.

 

This report provides background information on the implementation of the Foundation Stage, the methodology of the research, the findings from the research, and the characteristics of the schools that were surveyed.

That was quick!! Thanks very much, this looks like it is going to be really useful.
