KIA ORA, Welcome to NZARE

The New Zealand Association for Research in Education aims to foster excellence in educational research in Aotearoa-New Zealand.

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.

A range of awards through NZARE serve to recognise and honour 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, a Early Childhood Education special interest group (SIG) was established.

Through its various activities, NZARE disseminates the results of research and provides an important voice on matters relating to research in education.
