Educational Research
Educational research creates evidence to inform educational practice and directly impacts students’ experiences and outcomes.
Our community of diverse educational researchers conduct innovative applied research to investigate critical questions for physiotherapy education. We design and implement teaching and learning research projects that employ a range of methodologies to ensure evidence driven professional and postgraduate physiotherapy curricula. We recognize the importance of the complexity of inter-relationships between teaching and learning through the continuum of educational opportunity.
