The Advanced Quantitative Research in Education Thematic Hub builds interdisciplinary connections and creates grounds for cross-fertilisation among researchers using advanced quantitative methods in policy-relevant topics. This is a space where academics with quantitative methods expertise and an interest in education issues come together to discuss their research; find support in addressing data, methodological and conceptual challenges; and develop collaborative and inter-disciplinary work on topics relevant to policy and practice. The Hub is open to researchers using mixed methods and from different substantive research areas. Research Image Our members' research interests span many areas, including:social inequalities in education and the labour marketsocial mobilityschool-to-work transitionscomparative education and international developmentteacher educationhigher educationresearch on children and youthOur methodological expertise includes: the analysis of data from complex survey designs and linked administrative sourceslongitudinal data analysismultilevel modellingquasi-experimental approaches such as inverse probability weightingpropensity score matchingregression discontinuitylatent variable modelling techniqueslog-linear modelling Postgraduate researchSee what research students in our Hub are working on, and find information about applying for a PGR programme at Moray House School of Education and Sport.Research students in our HubFind out about our current students' research on our 'Members' pageApplying to study with usFind information about our programmes, finding a supervisor, writing a research proposal and applying for PGR study at Moray House School of Education and Sport.
