Some of our interests
• Effective use of exercise books
• Revision strategies and intervention
• Modelling
• Cognitive dissonance

Science revision - what is it in practice?
![Page 4: Penny Robotham 26 th June 2009 Action Research Palava](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f3e5503460f94c5e073/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Overview
• I wanted to know how pupils were preparing for exams
• and what I could do to facilitate their revision
• and improve their exam performance.

Starting point….
• It was obvious on ‘book return day’ that the majority of pupils had not appeared to have ever referred to their textbooks
• It appeared that pupils favoured ‘revision guides’ and did not refer back to their class notes.
![Page 6: Penny Robotham 26 th June 2009 Action Research Palava](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649f3e5503460f94c5e073/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Penny Robotham 26 th June 2009
Was this the case?
• In light of the changes to the GCSE specifications – should we buy text books that would be ‘unused’?
• Or should we invest in revision guides only?
Cost GCSE textbook £3000
Cost revision guide and workbook £500
Saving £2500
Cost AS and A2 textbook £3500
Cost revision guide and workbook £400
Total Saving £5600

Penny Robotham 26 th June 2009
So how do you revise?
• Asked – KS4 pupils
• Year 11 pupils who had just prepared for Mock Examinations (2008 cohort)
• Year 10 pupils who had just sat module examination. (2008 cohort)
• Follow up data – now they have sat GCSEs

Surprises?
• Significant majority of pupils worked through their ‘workbook’ independently
• More using exercise books than previously thought
How did my practice change?

Penny Robotham 26 th June 2009
So what have we done?
• Developed a range of tasks to help pupils when using their revision guides
• E.g. Choose a diagram from any page of your revision guide and then describe it in words

How have I changed my practice?
