Research

Introduction

This section provides information to researchers who are about to, or are conducting, a research project funded through the National VET Research and Evaluation (NVETRE) program.

When writing a research report, you should ask yourself these three questions:

  1. Do I understand it? Are the question(s) and methods clearly explained?
  2. Do I believe it? Are the conclusions justified by the data and are the methods valid?
  3. Do I care? Is the research important and interesting?

This is what we want people to say about your report:

"This is a clear, impartial, honest work. It is scholarly yet free of jargon, compassionate yet not over-emotional, moral without being preachy, stuffed with facts and figures yet brought alive by a myriad of vivid historical, contemporary and personal anecdotes. In short, it is very good". - The Economist 16 February 2008.

Please read the Author's guide before preparing your report.
