The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Notes: This paper offers an account of a collaborative action research study which set out to explore the impact of a thinking skills pedagogy upon a sample of primary school children's learning and beliefs about learning. The discussion is grounded in the philosophical theory of action research and learning, and explores the extent to which a philosophical schism creates a tension and impedes transformation in education; this schism is discussed in relation to constructivist and sociocultural views of learning.
