School Profile
The School of Education is a largely post-graduate
interdisciplinary department with research activity across
a number of important fields. These include studies
in knowledge development and transfer (curriculum
development, learning and acquisition, scientific literacy,
mathematics, science and technology education, primary
education, history education), policy and evaluation
(research into school reform evaluation studies), student
learning in higher education, and studies in race, culture,
identity and language. A number of members of staff lead
and participate in large collaborative research projects.
Significant numbers of staff act as consultants to local and
national government, to national commissions as well as to
important education NGOs. A number of staff members
are involved in materials development for a range of school
learning areas.
