Welcome to SORTI

The research, publications and other activities of The Centre for the Study of Research Training and Impact are directed toward the understanding and development of research and higher order problem solving skills, and the impact of research training and research outcomes in a wide variety of contexts, but particularly in tertiary and professional learning environments. Further strands of the Centre’s work extend to the history, philosophy and culture of research, histories of research institutions, mapping research activity and identifying research trends. Much of the Centre’s current work, especially that of its doctoral students, falls within the realm of studies of higher education and instructional models in tertiary level learning.
