Research briefs

Several of the research reports summarized below have been published by the National  Foundation for Educational Research in England and Wales (NFER). This research organization, which was set up in 1945, is directly comparable, in many ways, with NZCER in its functions and services. In recent years, the NFER research programme has expanded very rapidly and the Foundation is now producing an attractive range of publications, including paperbacks, many of which will be of direct interest to teachers.
