Abstract
This evaluation protocol describes the pilot trial of the GCSE teaching version of the SMART Spaces programme (SMART Spaces: GCSE Chemistry Teaching), a pilot trial funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), designed to investigate whether the SMART Spaces approach has wider applicability beyond the previously trialled GCSE revision version. Specifically, the pilot will examine whether the teaching version has sufficient evidence of promise, feasibility and readiness to justify an efficacy trial. The trial will investigate the intervention group only (and there will be no control group). It will consist of a mixed methods implementation and process evaluation (IPE) together with an evaluation of the impact on students’ attitudes and on the teaching of chemistry. The trial will take place over the 2018/19 academic year. Final publication of the results will be in Summer 2020. This protocol outlines the rationale for the project, describes the intervention using the TIDieR framework and outlines the methods of data collection and analysis for the impact evaluation, the IPE and the cost evaluation. A separate evaluation protocol describes the SMART Spaces revision programme efficacy trial, which takes place concurrently to this pilot
