Exploring the Effects of Boarding School on Academic and Non-academic Outcomes: A Longitudinal Study of Boarding and Day Students

澳大利亚和国际上很少有大规模研究评估寄宿学校对学业和非学业成果的影响。该项目与澳大利亚寄宿学校协会和海外学校合作，调查寄宿学校的影响，而不是其他可能解释学生成绩的因素。通过对同一学校的走读生进行同步评估，这项研究为所有学生的学业和非学业发展提供了信息。研究结果将有助于旨在加强学术和非学术途径的政策、教育学和牧民关怀，并将澳大利亚定位为寄宿学校研究的领先国家--更广泛地说，可能是以青年为基础的寄宿关怀。

There is little large-scale Australian and international research assessing the effects of boarding school on academic and non-academic outcomes. In partnership with the Australian Boarding Schools Association and schools overseas, this Project examines the effects of boarding school over and above other factors that might explain student outcomes. Through concurrent assessment of day students in the same schools, the study informs academic and non-academic development for all students. Findings will assist policy, pedagogy, and pastoral care directed at enhancing academic and non-academic pathways and centrally position Australia as a leading nation in boarding school research - and potentially, youth-based residential care more generally.
