Abstract
Context: The study investigates the use of the Frayer Model in supporting students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) within an Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disability (ISEND) framework. The research occurred within a mainstream secondary school setting, focusing on its effectiveness in enhancing independent writing skills among students on the SEND register.
Aims: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the Frayer Model on students' extended writing capabilities and their overall academic performance, as well as to explore the model's potential for fostering greater independence in their learning processes.
Methods: The study employed a lesson study approach, which involved planning, implementing, and reflecting on lessons designed with the Frayer Model as a pedagogical tool. Ethical consent was obtained for the anonymous publication of the findings. The implementation included feedback mechanisms to assess both academic and emotional development over a set timeframe.
Findings: Results indicated that participants demonstrated significant academic improvement alongside enhanced confidence and self-esteem throughout the case study. Students expressed positive feedback regarding the support provided by the Frayer Model and noted their desire to continue using this technique and associated tools, such as the iPad, in their future learning.
Implications: The findings suggest that the Frayer Model can be beneficial not only for students on the SEND register but may also be extended to benefit all learners within the school. The study highlights the potential for this tool to be integrated across various subjects, showcasing its versatility in accommodating diverse educational needs. Other educators may consider the application of the Frayer Model as a means to support independent learning and foster positive self-perceptions in students.
