This study was integrated with the Phase 1 Network Project, Consulting
Pupils about Teaching and Learning (for further information see www.consultingpupils.co.uk
It
has contributed to the overall Network Project in Project 6 'Breaking
New Ground' which supported
schools in developing strategies for pupil consultation and pupil
participation.
The Meta Study has focused on building a coherent
analysis of the growth in interest in 'pupil voice' by charting
and explaining its growth in recent years, both within the UK and
internationally. Experts from various fields have contributed to
this study in a seminar series focusing on three themes:
• Changing constructions of children and childhood;
• Developing a language for thinking and talking about learning;
• Pupil voice and democracy in schools
Summaries of the Meta Study seminar series can be obtained from:
