Research at Education, Health & Professional Studies
Research is a major focus for academic staff in this faculty. With research centres in areas such as: Aboriginal and multicultural studies; Management and Policy in Higher Education; Cognition in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education; and Health Sciences, academic researchers are leading the way in national research in areas of education, health and professional studies. Further growth is expected in these research centres in areas such as workplace education and learning, gerontology and environmental learning. As a result, staff in the faculty are enthusiastic supervisors of higher degree research studies and have an excellent track record in such supervision, especially by distance means.
Training of international professionals and managers has become a speciality amongst staff in this faculty. Working closely with AusAid, staff have conducted many training programs for international groups of managers and educational leaders. This leadership role continues to be promoted vigorously.
