Researching mathematics in rural primary multigrade classrooms
Pedagogy for multigrade mathematics classes in rural schools. • collaborate, differentiate, explicit instruction, investigation, contextualise. • addressing the unique challenges of rural multigrade classrooms. Rural Australia has long been framed from a metrocentric deficit stance and reported as underachieving in school mathematics according to standardised assessments. International evidence claims that factors contributing to low achievement …
Silence is not an option
Teachers, pre-service teachers and teacher educators in Australia are predominately European Australian with a small minority of First Nations people. Those with limited first-hand understanding of First Nations ways of knowing can find it difficult to embed these knowledges across learning areas. This is particularly complex for pre-service teachers. We argue that all teacher educators have a responsibility to engage First Nations ways of knowin…
Learning science locally
The wholistic nature of gardening is an approach to learning that provides opportunities to place science education in a context that also values other ways of knowing and draws on the cognitive, the affective and the spiritual—knowing, feeling, connecting. This paper offers a case study of teaching gardening to primary students at The Old School Community Garden (TOSCG), in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. As experienced science educators, w…
Philosophy of education in a new key
Public education is not just a way to organise and fund education. It is also the expression of a particular ideal about education and of a particular way to conceive of the relationship between education and society. The ideal of public education sees education as an important dimension of the common good and as an important institution in securing the common good. The common good is never what individuals or particular groups want or desire, bu…
Strengthening Australian Aboriginal Participation in University STEM Programs
The broad discipline of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) has become a global focus for education and employment. Currently, Indigenous students are less likely to engage in STEM programs and careers than in other disciplines such as education, health, social sciences and arts. In Australia, schools and tertiary institutions are investigating opportunities to increase Indigenous participation in STEM. In 2016, the XE Maths project…
Building spaces of hope with refugee and migrant-background students
Within the Australian context, research into schooling experiences of refugee and migrant-background students has tended to focus on developing English language proficiency with little attention given to initiatives that contribute more broadly to students’ social and educational resources. Whilst not denying the significance of English language acquisition, this paper explores strategies, implemented at one school, designed to enhance social, cu…
Problemas socio-científicos
Durante la última década, los maestros en formación primaria/secundaria de la Universidad de Australia del Sur han venido empleando temas socio-científicos (ISQ) como base para la enseñanza del currículo de Ciencias y Matemáticas de manera significativa para todos los estudiantes, especialmente para aquellos de escuelas con menor nivel socioeconómico. Hemos utilizado los desafíos filosóficos y pragmáticos asociados con la exploración de las SSI p…
