Postgraduate research
Centre for Research in Learning and Change
UTS: Education has a well-established and internationally recognised reputation for undertaking research that focuses on the complex and multifaceted relationship between learning and change. Lead researchers are successful in winning competitive research funding and are committed to collaborative approaches to their investigations.
The focus of the research is the investigation of the ways in which learning influences and is influenced by changes in educational institutions, workplaces, organisations and communities. The research aims to produce knowledge and practices to enhance learning, to promote more productive organisations and build more effective communities. At the heart of this research endeavour is to understand how learning responds to change, how learning is changing, and how change is embedded in and constructed by cultural and communication practices.
Central to the capacity to change is the ability to learn, not just to have learned well in educational institutions, but to keep learning, to be ready to learn again. Governments, business, communities, professional bodies and special interest groups increasingly invoke learning as a key strategy in understanding and facilitating social, cultural, environmental and economic responses to the numerous challenges presented by post-industrialisation and advances in technology, particularly in information and communication technologies.
The research projects are outcomes based and research outputs are published widely and disseminated through working papers and a seminar series. UTS: Education researchers have extensive experience working in partnership with research sponsors.
Research activities are embedded in the six broad research programs of the UTS research strength:
- discourses and cultural practices
- working, learning and professional practice
- changing communities: education and social action
- teacher learning and development
- language, literacy and literature
- learning and teaching in a digital age.
UTS: Education research students come from a variety of professional communities, are encouraged to be active members of the research centre and programs, and are integral to the success of the UTS: Education research activities and profile. The research degrees are closely linked to the research programs and priority areas for research student applications. Prospective research students are encouraged to view the UTS: Education website to obtain more information about research programs.
