Educational Action Research (EAR) Project Evaluation, Athlone

Commissioned by: Athlone Community Taskforce

Project Description: The transition from primary to post-primary education has been identified in policy as a key point in predicting the longer-term educational outcomes for young people, and in particular those at risk.  Reflecting this, the Athlone Community Taskforce in 2005 established its Educational Action Research project, which undertook a child-centered action research project which resulted in a wide-ranging programme of transition focused interventions.  The CFRC is undertaking an evaluation to ascertain the effectivness of these interventions in assisting with the transition from primary to post-priamry school.
