| Student Memory Interview: Question 63: Which objects did the
students choose to describe in detail? |
Conclusion: There was the choice of the same object across gender interviews in 5
of the 6 school groups regardless of the fact that students were interviewed in separate
gender groups. In the one group where males and females did not duplicate, both female
students chose the same object. Descriptions of models and clothing were the most popular
choices.
Summary of findings:
These findings are based on interviews with 24 primary students in Y3-Y6: 12
higher ability and 12 lower ability; 12 females and 12 males. The students were
interviewed 7 - 10 months after their use of these loans in the classroom. There
was large amount of duplication within the school groups regardless of the fact that
students were interviewed in separate gender groups.
