Research

The Faculty of Education at CSU is a growing, vibrant community of inquiry, with a committed mix of experienced, highly successful senior researchers and early-to-mid career researchers, as well as a small but growing body of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.

The Faculty is strongly committed to research and graduate studies across all its fields of interest – Education, Human Movement Studies and Information Studies.

With its historic performance supporting research development through a range of strategies, the Faculty has developed a comprehensive research program of five Faculty of Education Research Priority Areas (RPAs). These have been established to ensure that the Faculty’s research endeavours are focused, strategic, and productive.

An important aspect of the Faculty’s developing research culture and concentration is the formation and maintenance of research groupings, or ‘Communities of Scholars’. Currently there are three such groups in operation, namely:

The Faculty is heavily involved in one of CSU’s three Strategic Research Centres, namely RIPPLE (Research in Professional Practice, Learning and Education), which among other things, entails research into professional practice and professional education in fields such as teaching and librabrianship.

The Faculty welcomes enquiries about its programs and commitments in research and graduate studies and actively seeks to build research collaborations that will help sustain and enhance the Faculty’s quality research outcomes.
