It will come as no surprise that learning is said to be accomplished most effectively when it is "goal orientated, contextual, interesting, challenging, and interactive" (Quinn 2005a). The assessment of learning is inextricably linked to learning (Hargreaves 1997) and if education is to be successful it is crucial that the perspectives of learner, knowledge, assessment and community are aligned...

Models of acute nociception using a thermal stimulus are widely employed as screening methods for nociceptive properties of new drug compounds. In this chapter, detailed descriptions for conducting of two of the most commonly used models; the hot plate test and the "Hargreaves test," are described. These models are applicable to both rats and mice and have the advantage of allowing repeated and...

Collaboration is a frequently used term in current educational debates. However, the nature of collaboration and the possibilities it offers are often assumed among practitioners. Where it is dealt with as problematic, this tends to be at the operational level (Hargreaves 1992; O’Neill 2000). In this paper I argue that the process of collaboration is more complex than it may initially appear, a...

This study compares four different potential evapotranspiration equations according to Priestley Taylor, Kimberly Penman, Penman Monteith (FAO-56) and Hargreaves on a global basis to demonstrate their difference, and assess their impact on the calculation of stream flows. The various equations of potential evapotranspiration show great differences in magnitude. But due to the limited availabili...

Hargreaves (2002) suggested that vigorous social movements have the potential to improve the quality of (and increase the equity in) public education. This paper explores the role of Equal Education, an education social movement in South Africa led by university students and secondary school learners, in the process 1. Interview evidence presented in this paper was also used in Brahm Fleisch an...

Since air temperature records are readily available around the world, the models based on air temperature for estimating solar radiation have been widely accepted. In this paper, a new model based on Hargreaves and Samani (HS) method for estimating monthly average daily global solar radiation is proposed. With statistical error tests, the performance of the new model is validated by comparing w...

This research brief presents the main findings of the Teacher Status Project, a national four year study of public and individual teachers’ perceptions of the status of teachers and teaching, carried out at the Cambridge University Faculty of Education, and funded by the Department for Education and Skills. It includes the perspectives of people who come into close contact with teachers, includ...
