Engaged Learning

SELB has now become the Centre for Inclusive Education (C4IE).

For all enquiries, please visit research.qut.edu.au/c4ie

Our vision is to understand and promote teaching and assessment practices that are inclusive and beneficial for all students. As learning is a complex, ongoing process, we employ innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to understand factors influencing learning and produce evidence of student learning and achievement. These methods include innovative approaches, such as data analytics, eye tracking, student voice, and visual ethnography to understand the learning processes of individuals.

We engage in systematic investigation of teacher practices and student engagement across multiple contexts, including early childhood, primary, secondary, and alternative education settings. Our research evidence of learning and assessment is used to inform policy and practice, so that all students can experience greater success and achieve their full potential.

Research in the SELB Engaged Learning strand investigates the many varied components that contribute to this agenda, including:

  • Cognitive processes of diverse learners
  • Formative, standardised and summative assessment practices
  • Individual, social and environmental factors influencing learning
  • Student experiences of schooling
