Description

An Urgent Need for School Belonging: Meta-Analyses & Participatory Action. The project aims to address the decline in school belonging in Australia by utilising a multi-method approach. This integrates two distinct types of meta-analysis—one based on individual student data and another on qualitative research—alongside participatory action research. This project expects to generate new and applied knowledge in the area of school belonging, contributing to both theory and practice. Expected outcomes include actionable insights and approaches for educational practice, derived from stakeholder engagement. Given that school belonging profoundly influences student wellbeing, engagement, and broader societal factors like employment and further education, this project should provide significant benefits in these areas..
