Project overview

The Evidence Review Group at Southampton, led by Marcus Grace, provided the background research on science education evidence for the Education Endowment Fund’s Improving Secondary Science Guidance Report (2018). The report aims to help science teachers to use evidence to support their teaching.

It provides seven practical evidence-based recommendations for practitioners that are particularly relevant to teaching secondary school students who struggle with science. The work addresses the persistent attainment gap in science among disadvantaged students, which begins at Key Stage 1 and only widens throughout primary and secondary school.
