Using a mixed methods research strategy the study also sought to develop in-depth understandings of the factors that influence schools to implement the PYP, and the extent to which the perceived benefits of PYP implementation are realized in practice. An additional component of the research examined emergent challenges and enablers associated with the introduction of the Australian National Curriculum.
