Research

Staff in the Faculty of Education, Bendigo conduct high quality research and consultancy activities with the teachers, students and schools in the region, and with colleagues in Europe, Asia, Canada and the United States of America.

We have a wide range of research interests that respond to the challenge for all schools and teachers to pursue excellence and innovation.

Staff research activities also inform the development of our pre and post-service teacher education programs. Staff regularly contribute to local, national and international forums in their area of scholarly excellence.
