Overview
In 2018, the Queensland Government initiated a review of NAPLAN, cognisant of entering into the eleventh year of implementation throughout Australia. The focus of the NAPLAN Review 2018 is to “ensure Queensland is well placed to participate in any future Education Council commissioned national review of NAPLAN” and for consideration of “the optimal positioning of NAPLAN in the future of education in Queensland, and any changes needed to address issues raised and improve Queensland’s education system outcome” (Department of Education Queensland Government [DoE], 2018).
Researchers at the Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education at Australian Catholic University were engaged to undertake Phase 2 of the Review to provide the views, through online surveys, of Queensland teachers, principals and school students from Years 3 to 10 on the role of NAPLAN, their NAPLAN experiences and system improvement. In addition, identified key education stakeholders participated in the Review through focus groups, interviews and an organisational survey.
