About the ICCR
The ICCR houses one of
the largest collections of classroom data ever accumulated. Its establishment
was a consequence of the need to accommodate data from the Learner's
Perspective Study (an international study of well-taught mathematics
classrooms, currently being undertaken in 16 countries. The ICCR data
set now includes video data from secondary mathematics and science classrooms,
primary schools, clinical teaching in hospitals, early childhood settings,
and a variety of IT-supported learning environments including tertiary
settings.
The ICCR hosts a collaborative research program, in which international
researchers visit the University of Melbourne to participate in the
analysis of the body of data held at the ICCR. The ICCR has hosted
visitors from Australia, China, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany,
Israel, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, The Philippines, Singapore, South
Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the USA.
The ICCR offers researchers a state-of-the-art data storage and analysis
facility, supported by staff with substantial experience and expertise
in the collection, storage and analysis of classroom data (particularly
video data). Expressions of interest from researchers wishing to make
use of the ICCR's facilities should be made to the Centre Director.
