Classroom Observation: Question 58: If there was a display of loans, where was it?


Conclusion: 46% (12) of 26 observations included displays. 50% of the displays were in whole school shared spaces such as the school foyer and library. 92% (11) of the displays were in primary schools.

Although these were the number of displays at the time of the observation, some teachers were planning to put the loans on display at a later point in the loan period.

Summary of findings:
These results are based on observations in 26 classrooms.
  • · 46% of schools had artefacts on display during the observations.
  • · Of the schools that had displays, 50% were in whole school shared spaces. That means that 25% of all schools put displays in shared spaces. The school foyer and library were the most popular venues for this display.
  • · 50% of the 10 first time users recognised the value of artefacts for display. This response is comparable to the use of artefacts for display by the 16 long term users (44%).
  • · Although displays seen in secondary schools were impressive and comprehensive (8%), display is mainly a primary school phenomena (92%).
