Abstract

Australian Journal of Education, Vol. 35, No.3, 1991, 227-228 At the time of writing, the Australian Research Committee is conducting a Strategic Review of Research in Education.

It is of interest, too, that a previous editor of the AlE, Professor Millicent Poole, is a member of the group. There is no doubt that the group's deliberations will have a decisive influence on the future of educational research in Australia for the medium and long term. Whatever the Review achieves, it has to account for what counts as 'educational' research in the Australian research community.
