Our Reseach

We are proud to share the outcomes of our recent research project, funded by the Food and Fibre CoVE and delivered in partnership with Scarlatti. Together, we explored how gamification and digital tools can transform assessment, making it more engaging, culturally responsive, and learner-centred. The result is our Gamified Assessment Playbook – a practical blueprint with insights, lessons, and tools that others can use to redesign their own aromatawai. 

This mahi represents our commitment to innovation in vocational education and to creating pathways that reflect and empower our learners. Over time, this page will grow to showcase further research projects that continue to shape the future of horticultural education in Aotearoa.
