Abstract:
Research into the implementation of Studies of Religion, a HSC subject in New South Wales in religious schools, has made the potential for recommendations from the research to be taken up at Board of Studies level, as well as system level.
This paper is offered as a case study that responds postively to the conference theme: Reseach in Education: does it count? Using the findings of the research the paper will discuss the ways in which the Board of Studies and some Dioceses have already taken up recommendations and will offer further opportunities for consideration by religious schools that are either offering or may offer the course in the future. The ways in which the research has been used 'along the way' to completion of a PhD will be presented as well.
