Research services
We conduct educational research which facilitates improving the quality of education and educational outcomes. This is in line with our overall vision of “transformation through knowledge”.
Our team has extensive research experience using a range of methodologies. In addition to initiating our own projects, we undertake research for clients, including government departments, international funders and private sector initiatives and have managed and conducted a number of large-scale research projects. We have been part of several research consortia which have included institutions of higher learning. We have also recently extended our scope to include international research projects and we now work across Africa and also in the Middle East.
We offer the following expertise:
| 1. Qualitative research | 4. Data collection and analysis |
| 2. Surveys such as tracer surveys | 5. Assessment of learners and teachers |
| 3. Literature reviews | 6. Test development |
Examples of our research projects:
- National School Effectiveness Study, which resulted in publication of the book, Creating Effective Schools
- Tracer study of TVET college graduates
- Use of error analysis in assessment, with particular reference to the Annual National Assessments
- Initial Teacher Education Research Project (ITERP), a JET initiated multi-year project which investigated the preparation of teachers by South African universities
- Pan-Commonwealth Standards Framework for Teachers and School Leaders
- Research for UNESCO on the status of Global Citizenship Education
