Understanding research strategies to improve ERA performance in Australian universities
Many Australian universities have prioritised improving discipline performance on the national research assessment – Excellence for Research in Australia. However, a culture of secrecy pervades Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA). There are no specified criteria for the assignment of ratings on a 5-point scale ranging from 'well above world standard' (5) to 'well below world standard' (1). No rationale is provided to institutions for their…
The Importance of Challenging Tasks for Mathematically Gifted Students
This study explored how the challenge of mathematical problem solving could be increased to provide greater value and interest to gifted students. Ten pairs of gifted 11-and 12-year old students were first studied as they engaged in problem solving tasks in their mixed-ability classrooms. Observations of these classrooms revealed that regular tasks and the pacing of mathematics tasks in these classrooms were inappropriate for these students. The …
An Enrichment Philosophy and Strategy for Empowering Young Gifted Children to Become Autonomous Learners in Science
A goal of gifted education is to enable gifted children to become autonomous learners and, as adults, creative participants in society. In this study, we have implemented a program in which young children are provided with opportunities to become autonomous. The approach is based on a “pull-out” enrichment program in science. Children attend a 10-week series of workshop sessions in which the teacher scaffolds the development of science-related re…
