Phase 1 Report
This publication reports on the research activities for Phase 1 which ran from 1st March 2022 to the 31st August 2022. Phase 1 of the project aimed to understand where education professionals are in the change process and what professional contexts for change might support co-construction activity within and beyond the project. Phase 1 also aimed to develop the project’s conceptual and theoretical grounding in relation to i) co-construction and ii) the relationships between curriculum, assessment, pedagogy, and progression. Finally, it aimed to work with participants to build trust in the process of co-construction as a way of working within the Camau i’r Dyfodol project going forward to the next phases.
Phase 2 Report
This publication reports on the research activities for Phase 2 which ran from 1st September 2022 to the 31st August 2023. It is intended for the Welsh Government and educational professionals involved in translating the new curriculum from policy into practice, but may also be of interest to the research and policy communities more widely. Phase 2 established a Co-Construction Group (CCG) which involved education professionals from each level of the system in Wales together with members of the Camau i’r Dyfodol project team. The co-construction group met through a series of in-person and online meetings to develop knowledge and understanding of learning progression and curriculum. This activity was supported by four National Network Conversations and on-going research summaries and inputs that were prepared in response to the developing thinking of the group. The work and thinking of the CCG led to a series of practical support materials that can be accessed here.
