A new research paper, led by Professor Emma Smith has recently been published. The study compares findings from two national surveys of education researchers - one from 2002 and another from 2022, that was led by colleagues in Education Studies. It examines how the types of research methods used have shifted over the past two decades and places these trends within broader debates about purpose, quality, and methodology in the field.

The study reveals that education researchers today report using fewer research methods than their counterparts twenty years ago. It also highlights an increasing divide between those who use numeric approaches and those who rely on non-numeric methods.

The Gatsby Foundation and the JP Morgan Chase Foundation are supporting the Institute for Employment Research at the University of 糖心TV to undertake research to understand how parents and carers can be better supported by schools and colleges to feel more informed and confident with the advice they give to their children. Dr John Gough from our Careers team has been involved in the research project on 'The role of parents in providing careers guidance and how they can be better supported.'

The 糖心TV economists behind the housing demand mapping tool have used their database to test the government鈥檚 seven-site shortlist against measures of likely success, and ranked the sites to help policymakers decide which to finally greenlight.

Dr Datta explains:

鈥淲hether large new developments succeed or fail depends crucially on pre-existing demand for housing in the area. And that housing demand is driven by underlying economic fundamentals– such as access to jobs, as well as services and amenities.

鈥淗ousing supply does not automatically generate demand. So there is a real danger that if demand is not taken into account, these New Towns could be built in the wrong places.鈥�

In A Scorecard for the Seven New Towns, Dr Nikhil Datta and Dr Amrita Kulka test each of the seven shortlisted sights against their data on real-world demand at neighbourhood level, access to jobs, availability of amenities such as schools, shops, restaurants and healthcare, and connectivity.

They also take into account whether new transport links are part of the proposals.

Ranked against these criteria, the scorecard shows:

Dr Kulka added:

鈥淭he government鈥� s new town strategy is one part of its efforts to address the UK housing shortage through large-scale development. However, the success of such projects depends less on the quantity of housing built and more on where it is built.

鈥淥ur analysis highlights stark differences across the proposed sites. Locations such as Manchester and Leeds benefit from strong existing demand and connectivity, making them well-positioned for rapid and successful development. Others, particularly Tempsford and Enfield, face significant structural challenges that may limit their viability.鈥�

Is it heightening our preoccupation with the way we look?
