AERO's submission included an overview of how student wellbeing is measured in Australia and highlighted opportunities to improve data collection and use of data in decision-making.

This national research snapshot collects evidence on evidence use in Australian early childhood education and care (ECEC) services.

This methodology outlines the processes AERO used to collect and analyse data for national research snapshots on evidence use and use of evidence-based practices in early childhood education and care.

In this case study, an early childhood education and care (ECEC) centre director and a teacher describe their use of evidence to improve outcomes for children.

This research collects information from educators, teachers and leaders working in ECEC about the place research and evidence has in their professional practice.

Submission on increasing participation, retention and completion in education in the Northern Territory, particularly in remote areas

The Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) conducted an online survey and a series of interviews as part of a project commissioned by the AERO. The survey and interviews were focused on students in Years 7 to 9 who lack the foundational literacy and numeracy skills that are required to engage with a secondary curriculum.

This summary presents the key findings from 2 reports on better supporting students who enter secondary school with gaps in their foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

The review was administered by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and conducted by the Centre for International Research on Education Systems (CIRES) at Victoria University. 

By examining literacy and numeracy results across assessments, we can better understand the performance of Australian students over time; we can pinpoint areas of national strength and weakness and improve Australia’s educational outcomes.

This paper is the first in a series of Analytical Insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.
