In this episode we speak to Deidre McGillicuddy, from University College Dublin, about her research into children's views of ability grouping.
We discuss findings that highlight the negative impact of ability grouping and consider why the practice of ability grouping is still so common. Deirdre shares findings from her research which found a significant impact of ability grouping on young people's identity, their emotions and their social groups.
