CUBEC Digest

The CUBeC digest will provide regular updates on CUBeC's work and summarise other research done in the field of behaviour change across a range of disciplines

Since the publication of the last CUBeC Digest, a number of pieces of CUBeC research have been published across a variety of different education policy priorities. In this third edition of the CUBeC Digest, we summarise the findings from each of these reports.

Over the past year, a vast array of CUBeC research has been published across a wide range of themes relevant to education policy priorities. In this second edition of the CUBeC Digest, we summarise the findings from each of these reports (section 1).

As well as giving details of research produced by CUBeC, we provide a summary of the great deal of relevant work published by others working in the field over the past year or so (section 2).

In this edition, Dr Paul Howard-Jones reflects on what education policymakers can learn from neuroscience and Haroon Chowdry examines the potential role for 'payment by results' across a number of policy domains. It contains summaries of a review of evidence on behaviour change within organisations, evidence submitted to the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee, and a review of the role of incentives in special educational needs (SEN) funding systems.
