Abstract

This thesis is divided into three parts: a major literature review (Part A), an empirical research paper (Part B), and a critical appraisal (Part C). Part A: Literature Review The literature review is comprised of two sections. Part 1 consists of a narrative review, which aims to provide the background context of reduced timetables by considering inclusion and exclusion policy and relevant psychological underpinnings. Part 2 consists of a systematic review of the literature specifically mentioning reduced timetables within the context of the United Kingdom’s education system. Part B: Empirical Research Paper The research paper details the current study with aims to explore the use of reduced timetables for secondary school aged young people who present with externalising behaviours in Wales. A questionnaire was circulated across Welsh local authorities to gather data on how reduced timetables are used nationally. Semi-structured interviews were carried out to explore a more in depth understanding of reduced timetables in schools. The methodology, process and analysis of the data are presented, and implications of the findings are detailed. Part C: Critical Appraisal The critical appraisal provides an overview of the research process, in addition to a reflexive and reflective account of the development of both the researcher and the research. Decisions made throughout the research process are considered and the implications of these are discussed.
