Research

Research in the School of Education broadly focuses on learners and educators and the ways in which they are enabled and supported to realise their potential. This occurs across a range of contexts, curricular and phases of development.

Our staff are actively engaged in research that benefits the community and teaching profession through five key research teams:

  • Religious Education
  • Mathematics Education
  • Teacher Education
  • Special and Inclusive Education
  • Early Childhood Education

  • Global Researchers Advancing Catholic Education (GRACE)

    Dr Christine Robinson, Linda Cranley

    The University of Notre Dame Australia (Fremantle) is the leader of GRACE, a unique long-term international partnership project between The University of Notre Dame Australia, Mary Immaculate College Limerick in Ireland and Boston College in the United States. The aim of GRACE is to bring together researchers and practitioners in Catholic education to become an interdisciplinary community of practice. GRACE facilitates international forums to generate research collaboration and promotes extended conversations among scholars from multiple institutions, at various career stages, developing research to advance Catholic education together. Focusing on the themes of head (Catholicity), heart (spirituality) and hands (social justice) the GRACE community of practice will further international research within Catholic education.
