Welcome to all members and visitors to the AARE website. As an association that serves the full range of Australia’s educational research community, AARE was founded in 1970, and has over one thousand members from across the field of educational research, including educators; administrators; directors of research; and graduate students across a broad range of education disciplines and settings from early childhood through to continuing and higher education.
We have a range of Special Interest Groups that cover membership commitment to areas such as Assessment and Evaluation, Early Childhood, Educational Leadership and Management, Educational Philosophy and Theory, Gender and Sexualities, Health and Physical Education, Information and Communication Technology , Motivation and Learning, Sociocultural and Activity Theory and Social Justice.
As we approach our 40th anniversary in 2010, we celebrate our ongoing commitment to the enhancement and promotion of high quality educational research in Australia and the capacity of Australian educational researchers to conduct high quality research. We achieve this by providing forums for collaboration and sharing of educational research outcomes, research training and for policy discussions. We publish the internationally ranked journal, the Australian Educational Researcher, we provide support to Research Directors around the country through ARDEN, and each year we award excellence in educational research though the Doctoral Thesis Award. AARE operates with a vision for quality, well resourced educational research that contributes to the improvement of education for the benefit of all Australians and, as a foundation member of the World Education Research Association [WERA], the international educational research community.
Jo-Anne Reid, President, 2009-2010
