WP7 Review Comments

• Research Methods– Utilise research methods more likely to provide significant and

useful results than the approach taken to date– Radical review of research methodology for further survey work

• WP Metrics– 2: defined by WP1 + others

• Scepticism of SGs– Fair amount of scepticism; general lack of evidence of impact on

learning – design & conduct studies; eng & manuf -> schools
