Note at the maths spring seminar series secondary school teachers present seemed to indicate this was a big problem
Consult maths teachers in Cork schools]]> 2017-11-23 21:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/julieccrowley/a00czzzaodqr/wish/209795885 Previous studies in this area? catherine_palmer3 https://padlet.com/julieccrowley/a00czzzaodqr/wish/210075279 2017-11-25 21:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/julieccrowley/a00czzzaodqr/wish/210075279 When catherine_palmer3 https://padlet.com/julieccrowley/a00czzzaodqr/wish/210075572 Transposition is most likely to be taught in Semester 1
Semester 1 is busy for students and staff
Semester 2 - results are out - identify students that need help with the topic

]]> 2017-11-25 21:07:18 UTC https://padlet.com/julieccrowley/a00czzzaodqr/wish/210075572 Study comparing the effect of different teaching techniques catherine_palmer3 https://padlet.com/julieccrowley/a00czzzaodqr/wish/210076894 Based on current knowledge, choose two or three techniques for teaching transposition and measure the impact of each technique.
How to measure impact ?- measure understanding before and after - tests, feedback, 
How to find participants 
- within modules - interested staff
- outside modules - student volunteers
Control for leaving cert results, discipline etc.
Ideally run study over several years
