A Case

A student said she was perhaps interested in finding a topic in education, and I said I'd recently seen a TV programme on the issue of whether formal teaching vs. play-based activities were more effective in schooling for 4-7 year olds. I couldn't remember the relevant names, nor had I ever read anything on this.

I went to the BBC web site. http://www.bbc.co.uk/home/today/
Couldn't find it at first; remembered it had been a Panorama programme, so after a bit I realised Panorama might be under "News" not "Education". http://news.bbc.co.uk/
Found a pointer to the programme: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/education/newsid%5F186000/186707.stm and http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/education/newsid%5F185000/185466.stm That gave me the name "Kathy Sylva" as the one discussing the research.
WWW search on Kathy Sylva gave a page mentioning her http://www.ioe.ac.uk/cdl/cugrants.html
Poking around on the same site (web page for that research unit) http://www.ioe.ac.uk/cdl/ found a personal page with her publications http://www.ioe.ac.uk/cdl/kathy.html
(Although emailing her may be necessary to find the literature about that issue.)
