Darwin Education Initiative

Published by the Wellcome Trust in January 2011, this report provides the findings from the final stage of the evaluation of the Darwin Education Initiative. It includes the findings from follow-up interviews with case study schools which explored the continued use of the Great Plant Hunt and Survival Rivals materials. Of specific relevance is the work with the 30 case study schools – 10 primary and 20 secondary – who were contacted at three points during the study.

The first contacts explored the schools’ use of the Darwin Education Initiative materials and the benefits resulting for pupils and teachers, with the final contact exploring their continued use in the 2009/2010 academic year and potential future use.
