Understanding exam access arrangements in practice: Challenges and opportunities

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Secondary students with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) often face challenges with academic tasks, particularly with high‐stakes examinations. Exam access arrangements (EAA) are provided as reasonable adjustments to reduce disadvantage for students with SpLD.

Measuring the impact of observations on the predictability of the Kuroshio Extension in a shallow-water model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper sequential importance sampling is used to assess the impact of observations on a ensemble prediction for the decadal path transitions of the Kuroshio Extension (KE). This particle filtering approach gives access to the probability density of

Emotional nourishment begets academic coping during the primary to secondary school transition

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from primary to secondary school is widely viewed as the most demanding in a child's educational journey. Despite a wealth of research on this transition, little is known about the children's ‘lived experience’ of it across different contexts.
