The Teaching and Learning Research Initiative is a research fund established by the government in 2003. It has an annual funding round and a $2 million annual budget.

The fund seeks to bring together research and practice to improve learning outcomes.

TLRI Principles

The Teaching and Learning Research Initiative aims to:

  • build a cumulative body of knowledge linking teaching and learning
  • enhance the links between educational research and teaching practices—and researchers and teachers—across early childhood, school, and tertiary sectors
  • grow research capability and capacity in the areas of teaching and learning

The growth of research capability and capacity is a reciprocal process that builds:

  • the capability of researchers to undertake quality research through engaging in high-quality research and working with other researchers with varied levels of experience
  • enables teachers to gain expertise in systematic enquiry, as they engage as active members of a research team
  • builds the capability of teachers to improve their teaching practice by learning from the findings of research deepens researchers’ understanding of teaching and learning by engaging with teachers

The TLRI’s research projects and related activities are guided by five principles
