Applications are now invited for the TLRI 2010 funding round. Information for Expressions of Interest can be found on Funding 2010. Expressions of Interest (EOI)are invited in either Type I or Type II catagories. Type I research projects aim to build cumulative knowledge about teaching and learning and to build research capaciies Type II studies are to be more innovative, with both practice and research valued together. Applicants have until the 12th May to submit their EOI's.
Each year we ask leading educationalists where the research gaps are, and what research can be built on.This year Professor Jeff Smith from Otago University looks at the research questions arising from NEMP data, while Ministry of Education senior manager research, Lynne Whitney, does the same for international studies such as PISA, TIMSS and PIRLS. You can find their interviews in Background Papers.
