New Research on PSHE Education
Mapping study of the prevalent models of PSHE education delivery and their
effectiveness.
Independent researchers at Sheffield Hallam University have been
commissioned by DCSF to conduct a study into the current provision of
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education in schools. The
first phase of the study has started with surveys being sent to a sample of
over 6,000 PSHE co-ordinators/leads in primary and secondary schools, asking
about how PSHE education is delivered in their school; perceptions of
effectiveness; assessment strategies used; sources of support; and planning
for the future of PSHE education.
The second phase of the research will involve case study visits to 15
schools in the summer term. The findings will help inform DCSF's planning
for all strands of PSHE becoming statutory in September 2011, particularly
the areas where schools need more support and guidance. If you are a PSHE
lead and receive a questionnaire through the post, please do respond
promptly and let DCSF know your views.
A report for the DCSF will be published in November 2010.
