Teacher views on the purpose, role and impact of additional ‘extension’ papers
for entry to mathematics-intense courses at English universities: for y13 teachers any time to Easter 2020.
Thank you for completing this anonymous survey, which is part of a small study funded by the Joint Mathematical Council of the UK. The resulting report will be available on the JMC website from Summer 2020: if you would like to be sent a link to that, please give your email address at the end. We think the survey will take about 15 minutes. It has been approved by the UCL Research Ethics Committee (REC number 1286). We very much appreciate your time and thoughts: those help us understand better how university entry requirements, including any additional ‘extension’ papers for entry to mathematics and similar courses at English universities, are impacting both teachers, and students’ experience and learning.
This survey has 3 sections: the first asks about you and your teaching experiences; the second (longest) asks about your perceptions of any additional entrance papers your students might have, or are, studying for; the third asks about the different sorts of support your students have access to in relation to meeting their university offers.
