Reason – has concerns about the lack of status for EYPs – are EYPs under recognised for their abilities and achievement?
Qualifications have recently been vague + there is no registered body so EYPs not recognised as professionals.
Foundation students have to be 22 years old but students leave at 18/19 and don’t return to do the foundation course.
Will use action research to look at EYP motivation + literature review – very little research available on EYP. Government directives.
Gestalt/Skinner/Maslow + empowerment.
Starting research immediately – will look at retention/achievement/progression figures for Level 5 course
Triangulation: Government data/Questionnaires/Research on courses available at other FE colleges/Interview of supervisors and managers
Peer input/questions: Why age stipulation for foundation level courses? Is funding available and where does it come from? Could it be accessed for learners? A guide to finding funding?
