QTU Education Researchers

The QTU believes that the status and dignity of the teaching profession are enhanced when the voice of teachers is heard in the field of education research. The QTU welcomes the contribution of our members and academic peers who engage in the field of higher degree research in education and related fields.

The Queensland Teachers’ Union of Employees (QTU) has a proud history of partnering with education researchers where such research establishes demonstrable links to the QTU’s values and priorities. Therefore, the QTU welcomes research that makes advances in social equity, school funding, curriculum and pedagogy, teacher professionalism, education leadership, industrial matters, and a suite of other areas. The QTU supports research that adopts methodological approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, and critical research that can collect data from large scale populations or single-n studies.
