Representing and Understanding Multiplication (2007)
Journal Article
Harries, A., & Barmby, P. (2007). Representing and Understanding Multiplication. Research in Mathematics Education, 9(1), 33-46. https://doi.org/10.1080/14794800008520169

In this paper, we examine the importance of representations, in particular with respect to the understanding of multiplication by primary school pupils. We first of all look at the theoretical background to representations in mathematics. In particul... Read More about Representing and Understanding Multiplication.

Reasoning with Multivariate Evidence. (2007)
Journal Article
Ridgway, J., Nicholson, J., & McCusker, S. (2007). Reasoning with Multivariate Evidence

Reasoning with evidence about realistic situations - education, health, crime, social change, climate change - is inherently problematic. Evidence is often multivariate; relationships between variables are rarely linear; variables interact, and show... Read More about Reasoning with Multivariate Evidence..

Software Architecture Visualization: An Evaluation Framework and Its Application (2007)
Journal Article
Gallagher, K., Hatch, A., & Munro, M. (2008). Software Architecture Visualization: An Evaluation Framework and Its Application. IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 34(2), 260-270. https://doi.org/10.1109/tse.2007.70757

In order to characterize and improve software architecture visualization practice, the paper derives and constructs a qualitative framework, with 7 key areas and 31 features, for the assessment of software architecture visualization tools. The framew... Read More about Software Architecture Visualization: An Evaluation Framework and Its Application.

Understanding the ensemble pianist: A theoretical framework (2007)
Journal Article
Kokotsaki, D. (2007). Understanding the ensemble pianist: A theoretical framework. Psychology of Music, 35(4), 641-668. https://doi.org/10.1177/0305735607077835

The aim of this study was to develop a theoretical model of the attainment of high quality in musical ensemble performance as perceived by the pianist and to identify the factors affecting this process. The research has followed an inductive interpre... Read More about Understanding the ensemble pianist: A theoretical framework.

Reviewing the literature on interactive whiteboards. (2007)
Journal Article
Higgins, S., Beauchamp, G., & Miller, D. (2007). Reviewing the literature on interactive whiteboards. Learning, Media and Technology, 32(3), 213-225. https://doi.org/10.1080/17439880701511040

The aims of this article are to review the existing literature on the introduction and use of interactive whiteboards (IWBs) in schools and to summarise the key issues arising from this analysis in order to provide a context for the articles which fo...

Modelling mathematical argumentation: the importance of qualification (2007)
Journal Article
Inglis, M., Mejia-Ramos, J., & Simpson, A. (2007). Modelling mathematical argumentation: the importance of qualification. Educational Studies in Mathematics, 66(1), 3-21. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10649-006-9059-8

In recent years several mathematics education researchers have attempted to analyse students’ arguments using a restricted form of Toulmin’s [The Uses of Argument, Cambridge University Press, UK, 1958] argumentation scheme. In this paper we report da... Read More about Modelling mathematical argumentation: the importance of qualification.

'Draw your own conclusions': teaching pre-twentieth century poetry in an arts context (2007)
Journal Article

Over the past two years I have explored some of the challenges and possibilities involved in the teaching of pre-twentieth century poetry in an arts-based context, sometimes working with student teachers of English and, in one case, art and design. T... Read More about 'Draw your own conclusions': teaching pre-twentieth century poetry in an arts context.

Examining Changing Attitudes in Secondary School Science (2007)
Journal Article
Barmby, P., Kind, P., & Jones, K. (2008). Examining Changing Attitudes in Secondary School Science. International Journal of Science Education, 30(8), 1075-1093. https://doi.org/10.1080/09500690701344966

This study, carried out in England, examined the variation of attitudes towards science over the first three years of secondary schooling and with gender. The study in question was part of an evaluation of the "Lab in a Lorry" project, and involved 9... Read More about Examining Changing Attitudes in Secondary School Science.

Gender inequality in the primary classroom: will interactive whiteboards help? (2007)
