IB Research Notes

IB Research Notes was a quarterly publication of the IB research team. It is now freely accessible as an archive, providing information related to international education research, of interest to practitioners, as well as to international education research communities.

IB Research Forum

As a publication IB Research Notes ceased to function at the end of 2006. It will be redeveloped and redesigned as the "Research Forum", an interactive system for researchers. This will includes:

• Forums/blogs about methods and methodology
• Articles and ongoing research as PDFs
• Postings and IB research team news
• Links to other sites
• Online conferences
• Wikis for collecting and building common understandings
• Discussions about research methods and methodology
• Forums for summative and formative research

Please watch this section for furture information.

 

All the issues can be downloaded (in PDF format).
