Defining the questions
The team proposes consulting educators and the Department of Education about curriculum standards and learning outcomes. These discussions would guide the choice of indicators and the design of research instruments.
Research
How do students learn
across settings?
The proposed study brings together assessment results and student perspectives to examine learning outcomes in selected secondary subjects.
Listening to students
The study design pairs subject assessments with surveys of student perceptions. Focus group discussions would help researchers interpret patterns in the scores and understand the experiences behind them.
Evaluating learning conditions
The proposal explores mathematical models and machine learning to examine relationships among the collected measures. Its scope covers selected subjects in STEM and the humanities or social sciences. Any findings would need to be interpreted within the participating schools and subjects.
