The 2011 NZARE conference and annual meeting was held Tuesday 29 November toThursday 1 December in sunny Tauranga.

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.

Proposals are invited for special issues of the New Zealand Journal of Educational Studies. It is envisaged that the first special issue will appear in the second half of 2012. More...

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.

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

NZARE has recently completed a two year consultation to update the association's ethical guidelines. The revised guidelines were approved at the 2010 annual general meeting.
