Description

As an area of study, Education crosses the boundaries between a number of disciplines including aspects of philosophy, sociology and psychology, and addresses their interaction with the learning and teaching process.

The School of Education at UNSW has a strong research orientation. All members of staff are actively engaged in research projects in a number of areas and are supervising a large number of research students. Some projects include aspects of cognitive load theory, the study of gifted children, aspects of reading, long term changes in population intelligence, transfer and generalisation of knowledge and skills, and aspects of motivation, stress, leadership, teacher effectiveness and educational philosophy.
