Welcome to the research group

Welcome to the QSITE research group. We are a group of researchers, academics, teacher educators, teacher researchers, higher education students, and QSITE members interested in researching ICT in education. 

 

QSITE believes that research partnerships with universities are important to ensure ICT in education results in meaningful pedagogical developments and enhanced student learning. In the past, the QSITE culture of professional support has led to participation in research projects reflecting current practitioner needs. QSITE members have provided important data for researchers wanting to explore the in-school realities of ICTs in education.

QSITE also provides opportunities to disseminate research results to a broad range of practising educators via annual conferences and periodic journals, including ACEC and ISTE national and international journal publications. QSITE also supports links between tertiary institutions and educators to explore the benefits from QSITE networking and learning communities.

 

In summary, this group supports

  • tertiary educators staying in touch with the profession and its practitioners – sharing knowledge and new developments in a two-way exchange that helps all educators.
  • helping prepare pre-service teachers for their entrance to the workforce through practitioner links and insights.
  • providing opportunities to showcase leading student achievements at QSITE events and in QSITE publications, and
  • life-long learning among education professionals by encouraged toward professional leadership goals.
