PhD in Development, Engagement and Attainment

Positive outcomes in education, and in life more generally, depend on a wide range of skills and experiences.

Students must be able to understand a broad range of data, including written texts and complex numerical information. They must be able to communicate their ideas clearly both in writing and verbally. They also must have a range of ‘soft skills’ in terms of their abilities to engage with different learning environments, work with others and understand their own strengths and weaknesses. These skills are important, in different forms, right through the arc of education.

We are interested in how these various skills develop over time, and how learning environments can best support and develop those skills. We are particularly interested in the interplay of environment, psychological factors and underlying skills in predicting learning pathways from the early school years to university and beyond.

A primary aim of the theme is to reduce the inequalities that result from limitations
in processing written and numerical information. Attainment gaps between different groups are widespread and persistent at every level of education, and a major element of our work is to help to overcome these gaps.
