The Centre for Research in Education (CREd), has been developed to provide a new organisational structure for research in the School of Education at UniSA. CREd:

  • Brings all of our research groups into one space
  • Enables our researchers to sustain a discipline focus for their research
  • Provides a structure for capacity building and succession planning
  • Makes the interface between our teaching and research more permeable
  • Provides for significant development of the research culture for both academics and students

CREd has eleven research groups (listed above) and hence a wide variety of research programs and projects. Our research is committed to: environmental and social sustainability; social justice; valuing cultural difference; and innovation. The research program of the Centre focuses on the following:

  • High quality teaching and learning
  • Links with the wider community through equity and engagement
  • What is happening in our educational institutions and also at the interface with other cultural institutions, public culture and work?
  • How does education respond to 'the times', and issues related to place?
  • In what ways do developments in communication and technology affect teaching and learning?
  • How do policies affect educational institutions, teachers' work, and student learning?
  • What is innovative in the fields of curriculum and pedagogy studies?
