The Centre for Advanced Studies in Education (CASE) addresses complex educational challenges by integrating research in learning environments and learning processes. Our work generates solutions that are cognitively grounded, culturally responsive and locally relevant.
CASE brings together leading researchers from across the Faculty of Education, whose decades of collective expertise drive research excellence. Through our mission-driven research, we work to optimize student learning, strengthen educational systems, empower families, and partner with communities to create transformative educational outcomes.
Our core research focus is understanding how learning emerges and develops through the dynamic interplay of cognitive processes, contextual influences, and culturally responsive approaches. Our vision is defined by four strategic impact areas.
Optimise student learning
Understand and address individual cognitive strengths, developmental needs, and sociocultural factors to ensure that all learners can access and actively participate in transformative education
Strengthen schools and systems
Respond to the changing needs of diverse learners in complex social, technological, and ecological contexts
Empower families
Provide tools, skills, and knowledge to actively support their children’s learning
Partner with communities
Co-design education initiatives that promote local development, cultural sustainability, and long-term social resilience
