Talking D&T
Talking D&T is a podcast about design and technology education. Join me, Dr Alison Hardy, as I share news, views, ideas and opinions about D&T. I also talk about D&T with teachers, researchers and academics from the D&T community.
The views on this podcast are my own and of those I am interviewing and are not connected to my institution. Much of the content is work in progress. As well as talking about D&T, I use it to explore new ideas and thoughts related to D&T education and my research, which are still embryonic and may change. Consult my publications for a reliable record of my considered thoughts on the topic featured in this podcast.

TD&T079 Claire Vickery's research about the decline of D&T
Claire Vickery talks this week bout her research exploring teachers' views of why the numbers of pupils studying GCSE D&T has declined.
This is her dissertation study for her MA at the University of Buckingham; Claire is looking for participants - do sign up (before the end of October 2021) using the links below.
There are three aims of Claire's research project:
- To undertake a formative evaluation which seeks to diagnose factors which may have contributed to a decline in D&T GCSE entries within England.
- To gain an insider’s perspective and to lear from the real-life experiences of D&T teachers within England.
- To consider solutions which could be implemented to increase D&T GCSE entries at a local level.
