Lessons learned on research methodologies from assessing ... (Australian Council for Educational Research)

The adaptative approach applied to the EAS teacher development multi-year study series has uncovered valuable lessons for future education research.

Using case studies to investigate and understand teaching quality and student learning: Initial lessons learned](https://research.acer.edu.au/eas/48/) For example, a key consideration in the design of the classroom observation tool was that it realistically needed to be implemented by local researchers with no classroom-based experience. Each cycle of data collection was improved based on previous lessons learned across the 3 countries. With an understanding that data about teaching needs to come from a range of sources, the team designed and implemented solutions on a country-level basis, taking lessons learned over time to enhance data quality. In Vanuatu, existing national and regional data was used to provide a reference point for student learning in literacy and numeracy, but in Laos, where no Grade 1 national data was available, a project-specific student assessment was designed by the study team. ACER embarked on a mixed-methods data collection approach to provide a more holistic view of teaching quality.

Landmark study reveals number one factor impacting student learning (The Educator Online)

The study reveals that factors like homework, small classroom sizes and a long school day do not have a big influence on students' learning outcomes. The ...

“Every child can learn, can grow, and can be taught to love learning. “We want students to trust their teachers and know what they are learning, why they are learning, and knowing their progress in their learning.” “We do that by creating classrooms full of trust, where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn, and the teachers are constantly assessing their own impact," Professor Hattie said.

What does a 21st-century research and science system look like? (Times Higher Education (THE))

What is needed from universities and government to create a transformative research, science and innovation sector in New Zealand.

Aotearoa New Zealand is the world’s major bastion of Pacific researchers and home for the planet’s largest collection of Pacific communities. There is an opportunity to scale this expertise, for example through the MedTech Innovation Quarter proposal we are developing with local and national government and local medtech businesses. The pathway by which this research, science and innovation ecosystem evolves is critical. The existing “model” for industry, government and research partnership needs sharp analysis to identify and overcome the barriers to investment and engagement. As an institution, we have championed this in submissions on the future research landscape and make it a fundamental element of our government relations work. There are lessons to be learned, but we also need to find unique answers that reflect the values and strengths of the people of Aotearoa New Zealand. New Zealand has several strong developing sectors including aerospace and medical technology (medtech) with flagship companies at the forefront of global competition. The goal should be clear: we need to create a much larger and more capable research and innovation ecosystem that embodies Te Tiriti (New Zealand’s founding document, the Treaty of Waitangi), makes best use of existing research capabilities, nurtures the next generation of talented thinkers and doers and empowers our researchers to share their mana and knowledge alongside the best in the world. The latter cross-disciplinary, multi-institution programmes focus on areas where the country may or may not have outstanding research capability, but where it is strategically important to build on what is there. New Zealand – Aotearoa in Māori – weathered the pandemic with one of the world’s best responses. Central to successful research output is addressing the lag in investment. New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has recently launched Te Ara Paerangi – Future pathways, which provides insights on how to transform the country’s research, science and innovation system.

What Makes A Good Research Proposal? Here Is The Answer ... (CEOWORLD magazine)

Research methodology is the process by which you shall conduct your research. It covers your research methods, tools for data collection, references, their ...

You will have to add a bibliography at the end of the proposal so make sure it is nicely done. [Richest Tennis Players In The World And Their Net Worth, 2023](https://ceoworld.biz/2023/02/20/richest-tennis-players-in-the-world-and-their-net-worth-2023/). [Richest Actors In The World And Their Net Worth, 2023](https://ceoworld.biz/2023/02/20/richest-actors-in-the-world-and-their-net-worth-2023/). Just because it is a research proposal you cannot take lightly the importance of quality references. In simple words, you will have to convey the problems you want to address in your research. You start with a rebuttable assumption about the research and its possible solutions. Of course, the time period is subject to individual skills but the point is you will have to dedicate time to research. Research questions outline the ‘whys’ and ‘hows’ of your research. To ensure that you are certain of the subject area, you will have to read and analyze. Think about it for a moment: you have researched well and want to write a rocking thesis but that can only happen if and when you plan to address problems concerning the subject matter. It is simply a blueprint of the proposed research work. In fact, the main research comes later, it is the proposal that signifies how much potential the concerned research would have.

Ageing Well research grants now open (Premier of South Australia)

The Impact Research Grants are a key action of the new Strategic Research Agenda for Ageing Well and align with South Australia’s Plan for Ageing Well 2020- 2025. South Australian researchers and research organisations are encouraged to apply for a share of the grant funding to develop new research to help guide ageing well policy and practice. The keys to ageing well will come under the spotlight as part of new research in South Australia, with $150,000 in grant money up for grabs.
