Teaching is the main way of achieving this. Teaching and learning are what ultimately make a difference in the mind of the learner, and thus affect knowledge, skills, attitudes and the capacity of young people to contribute to contemporary societies. This TLRP Commentary has two main purposes. It provides highlights to date from each project in the schools’ portfolio. In addition, it looks across all TLRP projects to present ten ‘Evidence-informed Principles of Teaching and Learning’. Producing them has involved reviewing what individual projects have found out and what the Programme as a whole has found.

The majority of science education research conducted to date has addressed secondary schooling, although research into primary school science identifies similar issues and is referred to where available. We have not reviewed evidence on higher education, recognising that it raises different issues from those that arise at school level.

The underlying issues also arise in different ways in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Policy in this area is diverging between the four home countries. This Commentary on 14-19 Education draws on evidence from TLRP projects working in post-compulsory settings. However, issues from schools are also likely to apply as personalisation develops within 14-19 education and training. Both sectors would benefit from more conceptual clarity, and from more awareness of the interconnectedness of the issues involved. This is a necessary foundation for the development of coherent policy and practice.

By the time of its conclusion in June 2006, over 400 teachers, educational researchers, psychologists and neuroscientists had attended one or more of the events in this series. Each event involved formal discussions about the theoretical and methodological issues arising within this emergent and interdisciplinary field of enquiry, and the opportunities that may lie ahead.
