The New Zealand Association for Research in Education aims to foster excellence in educational research in Aotearoa-New Zealand. The beginnings of NZARE were recounted by Dr Geraldine McDonald in her 2006 Herbison lecture,A spirited beginning: The origins of the New Zealand Association for Research in Education.

NZARE publishes the New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies (NZJES) and a newsletter (Input - He Panui o Te Hunga Rangahau Maatauranga o Aotearoa), and organises national conferences and special interest seminars.

Through a range of awards NZARE recognises and honours high achievements in education research. NZARE supports educational researchers, including post-graduate students, and provides assistance to selected presentations at international conferences.

NZARE has three caucus groups with representation on the Council: Māori, Pasifika and students. Recently, te Early Childhood Education special interest group (SIG) was established.
