Biomechanics and Spine Research Group

The Biomechanics and Spine Research Group is a collaboration between Medical Engineering at QUT and the Spinal Orthopaedic Surgeons at the Queensland Children's Hospital. Our aim is to conduct quality research into paediatric spinal deformity and ensure patients receive the best management possible.

Teachers and Teaching

The Teachers and Teaching research group will seek to positively influence society through impactful research designed to: enhance the status and conditions of teachers’ work, contributing to workforce recruitment and retention; identify curricular, pedagogical and assessment practices that contribute to high quality educational experiences for all students; and address the educational needs of pre-service and practising teachers in the context of changing policy, curricular and societal expectations.

Participatory Action Research

This site outlines a teacher-as-researcher approach to develop a framework of practices to empower children to be global learners.

Creative Research in Development

Our vision is the creation of a peaceful and inclusive society that promotes diversity of knowledges to support real world opportunities. Our purpose is to promote creative research approaches as innovative pedagogies in co-creation, content sharing and real-world problem solving.
