This discussion paper outlines 3 constructs that can be measured to determine the effectiveness of transitions and children and families’ sense of belonging.

Partnering with Learning First, we investigated issues influencing the effective use of evidence in policy development through a desktop review and interviews with senior policymakers.

Using evidence-based practices (EBPs), and using them well, is a critical way to improve student outcomes. Evidence-based practices are educational approaches that are backed up by research evidence.

This national research snapshot collects evidence on the use of evidence-based practices in Australian ECEC services using Q4 2021 National Quality Standards data.

This national research snapshot collects evidence on evidence use in Australian early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.

This methodology outlines the processes AERO used to collect and analyse data for national research snapshots on evidence use and use of evidence-based practices in early childhood education and care.

AERO is collaborating with Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) to examine readiness for change. This is the first research snapshot in a series of 3 that summarise learnings from readiness for change research undertaken as part of the Getting it Right from the Start (GIRFTS) project.

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.

This review aimed to identify gaps in knowledge about supporting students behind their peers in Years 7 and 9.

The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University. 

By examining literacy and numeracy results across assessments, we can better understand the performance of Australian students over time; we can pinpoint areas of national strength and weakness and improve Australia’s educational outcomes.
