Chapter 1

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction on pupil learning within Key Stage 5 (KS5) classrooms. With increasing emphasis on evidence-based teaching, Rosenshine’s framework has become widely adopted in schools; however, there is limited research focusing specifically on its application at post-16 level. This research aims to examine how these principles influence pupil learning, particularly in relation to retention, understanding, and independence.

A mixed-method case study approach was used within a post-primary school in Northern Ireland. Data was collected through pupil questionnaires, teacher interviews, and a pupil focus group, allowing for both quantitative trends and qualitative insights to be explored. The findings indicate that strategies such as retrieval practice, modelling, and guided instruction have a positive impact on pupil learning, particularly in supporting long-term memory and improving understanding of complex material. In addition, structured teaching approaches were found to enhance pupil confidence and engagement.

However, the study also highlights several challenges. These include time constraints, differences across subject areas, and the ongoing tension between providing structured support and promoting independent learning. While teachers view Rosenshine’s Principles positively, their implementation is not always consistent and is often shaped by contextual factors.

Overall, the research concludes that Rosenshine’s Principles can significantly enhance KS5 learning when applied flexibly and thoughtfully. Rather than being used as a rigid framework, they are most effective when adapted to suit the needs of pupils, subjects, and classroom contexts.
