SELF International

SELF International

Under the direction of Professor Herb Marsh, SELF International is the lead member of the international SELF Research network, encompassing 450 members from 45 countries across 6 continents and a network of satellite centres.

The SELF research network produces a monograph series, hosts international conferences, and publishes research in leading international journals.

Its multidisciplinary rationale is that individuals who feel more positively about themselves in a particular domain are likely to be more successful; systems must simultaneously reinforce objective outcomes and self-belief (for example, academic self-concept and achievement in education).

The SELF International has a particular focus on methodological/substantive synergies that draw on advanced quantitative methodology (for example, multilevel modelling, structural equation modelling, and meta-analysis) in pursuit of substantive/policy-oriented issues. It collaborates with other Oxford University Department of Education research groups and centres in areas of mutual interest; provides support for research bidding and writing; hosts visiting scholars; runs a seminar programme and specialist symposia; offers in-house training events on statistical techniques; and hosts a special interest group for advanced quantitative analysis.
