Educational archives and student achievement...

Educational archives and student progress…

Reference has already been made to the importance of material from the educational archives during the process of evaluating of student results. Primary sources in educational archives can also assist administrators, teachers and researchers engaged in the process of analysing the reasons for student preferences, as well as student reactions to particular curriculum options and teaching techniques. Written, photographic or and audio primary sources in the educational archive can also provide insights into student approaches within different teaching and learning environments.

Educational archives and curriculum development...

Tracing curriculum implementation and curriculum change…

Co-operation between archive staff and teachers can support valuable research related to the implementation of curriculum programs and associated curriculum changes. Reference has already been made to the vital support role of educational archives in the development of the educational evaluation of curriculum development, but educational archives can also provide administrators, teachers and researchers with access to primary sources that help to expand an understanding of the broader relationships between the school curriculum, political, economic and social change, and cultural movements.
