Abstract
This submission to the Decadal Plan for Australian Education Research Consultation Paper recognises a critical role for education research is to equip educators, leaders and systems with robust information, tools and practices to confidently inform decision-making about teaching, learning, and leadership. The submission highglights the importance of First Nations-led research, and an inclusion mindset for education research and AI as a tool for learning as key to justice, quality and equity for all. ACER understands that the field of education is highly interconnected and draws on evidence from multiple disciplines; it follows that collaboration in education research is the key to meaningful impact. This requires a prepared and well-supported workforce, cross-sector collaboration and a world-class connected research capability.
