Biographical Details

Dr Coventry’s research is in quantitative genetics and educational psychology, addressing numerous questions that pertain to student trajectories throughout schooling. The databases he uses are typically longitudinal – with students measured on 4 occasions. These databases collectively span all school years and are either of twins and their parents or are population-level. A particular focus has been on the NAPLAN testing (i.e. national school assessments of literacy and numeracy). He uses structural equation modelling to delve questions around nature-nurture and longitudinal causation – to the extent such claims are possible!  In addition, Dr Coventry has research ongoing into ways of presenting the probabilities commonly used in statistics (e.g. p-values and confidence intervals).
