Research
Research is fundamental to the activities of the School of Education at The University of Newcastle. Research informs our teaching, underscores our commitment to high quality education at all levels and in all contexts, and connects us with the community and its aspirations.
Researchers in the School strive to:
- Have high impact by addressing key educational problems and issues in contemporary contexts;
- Pursue 'cutting-edge' projects of national and international significance;
- Share their knowledge, skills, ideas and experience;
- Develop collaborative networks with colleagues throughout Australia and internationally; and
- Produce research and research training of the highest quality.
