Abstract

Volume 48, Number 1 opens with two large-scale original quantitative studies on matters that are of interest to many in Australian education: the effects of selective schooling; and the relationshp between gender and participation/achievement in mathematics and science.

Most of the manuscripts that we receive in relation to quantitative studies (indeed most of the manuscripts in all areas) concern relatively small-scale studies, often conducted in one school or university department.
