The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Implementing Engineering Experiences in the Middle School. Engineering and science are increasingly recognized as enablers for invention, innovation, and economic growth. Advances in these domains that improve society will increasingly depend on our ability to educate school students about the world of engineering prior to entering university. The study's national benefits include: exposing young students to the world of engineering and its rich career opportunities; showcasing engineering for ....Implementing Engineering Experiences in the Middle School. Engineering and science are increasingly recognized as enablers for invention, innovation, and economic growth. Advances in these domains that improve society will increasingly depend on our ability to educate school students about the world of engineering prior to entering university. The study's national benefits include: exposing young students to the world of engineering and its rich career opportunities; showcasing engineering for female students; promoting mathematics and science as key enabling subjects for engineering; addressing national research priorities including an environmentally sustainable Australia; and engaging engineers and educators, including undergraduates, in seminal collaborative research and resource development.Read moreRead less
The Impact of Training in Self-Directed Learning Upon the Self-Regulation, Academic Resilience, and Achievement Motivation of Female Adolescents. In adolescence, girls appear less willing to work independently or take academic risks. This innovative effort to provide systematic training in learning to work independently may perhaps circumvent conscious underachievement in school, as well as provide teachers with concrete methods for this circumvention. The innovation of the intervention itself w ....The Impact of Training in Self-Directed Learning Upon the Self-Regulation, Academic Resilience, and Achievement Motivation of Female Adolescents. In adolescence, girls appear less willing to work independently or take academic risks. This innovative effort to provide systematic training in learning to work independently may perhaps circumvent conscious underachievement in school, as well as provide teachers with concrete methods for this circumvention. The innovation of the intervention itself will be its systematicity in incorporating self-direction skills within regular coursework in history rather than presenting it as a "stand alone" curriculum. Of import to researchers will be the assessment of "growth" in constructs heretofore theorized well, but not well measured: academic resilience, achievement motivation, and self-regulation.Read moreRead less
