A report to the DfEE. Derry Hannam, April 2001.
A pilot study to evaluate the impact of the student participation aspects of the citizenship order on standards of education in secondary schools.
The report sets out to test the hypothesis that "...in schools that are already taking the 'participation and responsible action' elements of the Citizenship Order seriously for significant numbers of students of the full range of academic ability, an improvement in attainment would be found across the full range of GCSE results, though not necessarily mainly at the higher grades."
It further suggested that "... if the hypothesis proves to be accurate this might well be, in part at least, a consequence of higher self-esteem and a greater sense of ownership and empowerment of students leading to greater motivation to 'engage' with learning across the curriculum."
