This paper by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) highlights the impact of teaching practices aligned with students' learning styles on educational outcomes. It underscores the importance of evidence-based practices that enhance learning for all students. AERO's model bridges theory and practice for more effective teaching.

Teaching practices that are aligned with how students learn are the most effective in improving education outcomes for all. There is strong evidence about the processes that occur during learning.

This explainer provides an introduction to the role of knowledge in learning, implications for effective teaching, and describes how building background knowledge facilitates higher-order thinking and learning outcomes.

This explainer provides a brief introduction to cognitive load, focusing on ways to manage it for effective and efficient learning.

This explainer provides an introduction to explicit instruction, with a focus on explaining how it contributes to positive outcomes for students’ learning achievement and dispositions.

This interactive tool shows how the Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) Language and Cognitive skill domain items align to both the Australian Curriculum (English and Maths) and the National Literacy and Numeracy Learning Progressions (NLNLP).

This document summarises key findings and recommendations from an analysis of Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) data conducted by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) in 2022.

This report details findings from the early childhood element of the 2022 Literacy and Numeracy project conducted by the Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO). This element used national linked data from the Australian Early Development Census and National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy to understand how children's learning and development progresses in the early years of school.

The Review to Inform a Better and Fairer Education System (the Review) will make recommendations for Education Ministers to inform the next National School Reform Agreement (NSRA), to meet the current and future needs of students and improve education outcomes in Australia.

This paper presents findings from AERO’s scoping work to understand how student wellbeing is measured in Australia and highlights opportunities to improve effective data collection and use of wellbeing data in decision-making.

This paper is the second in a series of analytical insights papers, which provide accessible, up-to-date analysis of educational datasets.

A positive sense of belonging at school has fundamental benefits for children and young people and flow-on benefits for their learning and engagement with school. This guide makes recommendations based on the best available research evidence on fostering a sense of belonging in school environments.

This evidence summary supports AERO’s practice guide for transitions to school for children with disability or developmental delay.

This evidence summary supports AERO’s practice guide for transitions between school and outside school hours care (OSHC). It describes the evidence base behind the guides, synthesising insights from available research to connect to policy and practice.

Transitioning to school and between educational settings is a significant milestone for children and families. Successful transitions lead to better outcomes for children and enhance continuity of learning and development. A successful transition occurs when a child and their family feel a sense of belonging in their new environment.

A successful transition occurs when a child and their family feel a sense of belonging in their new environment.

Collaboration between outside school hours care (OSHC) services and schools enhances continuity of learning and effective transitions for children as they move between the OSHC and the school learning environment. We spoke to the principal and OSHC coordinator at Kuluin State School about how they approach transitions.

A shared vision between schools and outside school hours care (OSHC) is important for children's wellbeing, learning and development. Evidence shows that a child-centred approach helps with successful transitions. We spoke to the principal and OSHC coordinator at Kuluin State School about how they approach transitions.
