| Competent Children, Competent Learners | Cathy Wylie |
This longitudinal NZCER project tracks the development of a group of children from near 5 through school. It analyses the impact of different experiences and resources on a range of competencies, and what can help narrow the gaps between children. The age-20 phase of the research has been completed and the findings shared with policy advisers and others interested in how young New Zealanders develop through their education and how well they are supported. The researchers hope to do a further phase of the study. |
| National Survey | Cathy Wylie, Rosemary Hipkins |
Early in term 3 NZCER will begin surveying the primary and intermediate school sector as part of its national survey series. Began in 1989, the series provides a picture of what is happening in schools and has enabled us to provide you with a national picture of current practice and issues and to track changes over time.The survey consists of separate questionnaires for principals, teachers, board of trustee members and parents. This year we will be asking about a range of topics including the New Zealand curriculum, National Standards and principal and teacher morale. We could not carry out our surveys without the assistance of schools and their communities. Schools are selected through a randomised representative sample and if your school is approached, we would welcome your participation. Thank you in advance. |
