Research Strategy
Research Strategy
The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) Research Strategy arises from the organisation’s Strategic Plan 2022-2025. The Research Strategy articulates the Vision and Principles that guide the NCCA’s research activity and outlines the contexts for and scope of that activity. In whatever form its research activity is shaped, the NCCA takes its research responsibilities very seriously and is committed to implementing the highest standards of ethical behaviour. This Research Strategy, 2023–2026, includes a new Ethical Statement, which acknowledges the ethical implications and considerations arising from the NCCA’s research activity. It is designed to provide clarity and guidance for both the staff of the NCCA and those who engage in research activity on its behalf. The Research Strategy will be reviewed in tandem with the renewal of the NCCA’s Strategic Plan.
