About the project
The ARIELS research project is a joint enterprise between the University of Exeter and the Exmouth Area Learning Community, comprising one secondary school and 14 primary schools.
This project is investigating the role that action research can play in developing the way in which science lessons are planned and taught. We are particularly interested in exploring ways in which pupil voice and peer teaching could enhance the experience of learners as they move from primary to secondary school.
Further details and reports are available on the project website.
