An Invisible Revolution? Applied Science in the 14-19 Curriculum
This report, published by the Nuffield Foundation in July 2009, examines the major issues of policy and practice surrounding applied science qualifications, taking account of empirical evidence where it is available. The report is centred on the following questions:
• what is distinctive about applied science qualifications, compared with other science qualifications at Key Stage Four and Key Stage Five?
• how are institutions making use of these qualifications and, in particular, with which students and with what outcomes?
• what issues of policy and practice do the qualifications and the courses based on them raise, and what are their prospects and potential contribution to 14–19 science education?
