What Could Replace the Phonics Screening Check during the Early Years of Reading Development? (2017)
Journal Article
Glazzard, J. (2017). What Could Replace the Phonics Screening Check during the Early Years of Reading Development?. Forum for Promoting 3-19 Comprehensive Education, 59(2), 175-182. https://doi.org/10.15730/forum.2017.59.2.175

This article argues that the phonics screening check, introduced in England in 2012, is not fit for purpose. It is a test of children’s ability to decode words rather than an assessment of their reading skills. Whilst this assessment may, to some ext...

Self-belief and agency (2017)
Journal Article
Zangwill, N. (2017). Self-belief and agency. Journal of Mind and Behavior, 38(1), 35-52

I argue for the view that we all believe that we exist from the fact that the belief is a presupposition of some of our mental life. We cannot argue from perceptual experience, but we can argue from action. I defend an essentially active (or perhaps... Read More about Self-belief and agency.

Journal Article
Norton, P. (2017). Legislatures and the courts: the importance of place. Journal of international and comparative law, 4(2), 171-188

Institutions of the state are studied primarily in terms of behaviour, powers and outputs. Little attention has been paid to their location and how this affects relationships between them. This article examines the effects of location through a study... Read More about Legislatures and the courts: the importance of place.
