Different countries have different histories, traditions, cultures, and
practices of student voice and are currently at different stages of
their student voice journeys. This paper investigates how student
voice is coming to be used in relation to classroom practice in
different school types and socio-economic settings in the Irish
education system. Ireland is a country without a strong tradition
or history of student voice and particularly in relation to teaching
and learning matters and it is envisaged that this paper will be of
strong interest to those in countries where student voice is not yet
prominent, but there are also wider implications. This research
shows that students are now being consulted in relation to classroom practice in a variety of ways but that even within single school
systems consultations are very much connected to school context
with voice being used to different extents in different schools in
different settings.
