Australian vocational education and training: Research messages 2004

Research messages 2004 is a collection of summaries on all research projects published or completed by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research in 2004. It is the first year such a product has been produced by NCVER.

The summaries are clustered under five broad themes used by NCVER to organise all of its VET research and analysis. The five themes are:

Industry and employers

Students and individuals

Teaching and learning

VET system

VET in context.

Fifty-six pieces of work are included and each summary provides details of how to access the full research reports.

We commend this publication as a key information resource to all those working in Australian vocational education and training and related areas. NCVER plans to use this publication as a reference document for consultations on future research priorities.

NCVER acknowledges the funding of the Australian National Training Authority in relation to the majority of the research included in this publication. We thank also each of the authors of the individual research projects and Penelope Curtin for her contribution.

Established in 1981, NCVER is an independent body responsible for collecting, managing, analysing, evaluating and communicating research and statistics about vocational education and training. Its vision is that Australia’s VET policy and practice are informed by a sound base of quality information.
