Changes In Mathematics Achievement Over Time In Australia And Ethiopia, Tilahun Mengesha Afrassa
Changes In Mathematics Achievement Over Time In Australia And Ethiopia, Tilahun Mengesha Afrassa
Shannon Research Press
This study has five major purposes: to develop a general theoretical model which considers the multivariate structure of the available data; to examine the changes of the mathematics achievement level of Australian lower secondary school students over time; to develop a common mathematics scale to enable investigation of mathematics achievement over time and across countries; to develop a theoretical model of student level factors influencing the mathematics achievements of lower secondary students in Australia and Ethiopia and to examine these hypothesised interrelationships between variables; and to investigate the views and attitudes of Australian and Ethiopian students towards mathematics and schooling …

Science, Technology And Society In Science Education, Debra Tedman
Shannon Research Press
This study had four major purposes. First, the study developed and used scales to measure the strength and coherence of students', teachers', and scientists' views, beliefs and attitudes in relation to science, technology and society (STS). Second, the factors which influenced the development of strong and coherent views on STS by students, were examined. Third, the study investigated whether male and female students differed in the strength and coherence of their views on STS. Fourth, structured group interviews with teachers provided information for the consideration of the problems encountered by teachers and students in the introduction of STS courses.

15-Up And Counting, Reading, Writing, Reasoning : How Literate Are Australian Students? : The Pisa 2000 Survey Of Students' Reading, Mathematical And Scientific Literacy Skills, Jan Lokan, Lisa Greenwood, John Cresswell
Indigenous Education Research
This report presents evidence on the performance in reading, mathematical and scientific literacy of 15 year old students, their schools and their countries, interpreted from an Australian perspective. It gives insights into factors that influence the development of these skills at home and at school, and discusses implications of the results for policy development. Chapter 5 focuses on results for the Australian states and territories and for other sub-national groups. Results achieved by Indigenous students and by students with language backgrounds other than English are included in this chapter. The sixth chapter describes the Australian PISA participants in some detail, …
Language Implications For Numeracy: A Study Of Language Use Of Disadvantaged Students, Robyn Zevenbergen
Language Implications For Numeracy: A Study Of Language Use Of Disadvantaged Students, Robyn Zevenbergen
2000 - Improving Numeracy Learning
Increasingly language is recognised as causing difficulties for students when they come to learn mathematics. Many different levels and aspects of language can be seen to create such difficulties for students. This paper looks at the implications of language on learning mathematics or developing a sense of numeracy.
Mathematics: A Curriculum Profile For Australian Schools, Australian Education Council
Mathematics: A Curriculum Profile For Australian Schools, Australian Education Council
Mathematics
A joint project of the States, Territories and the Commonwealth of Australia initiated by the Australian Education Council, this is one of a series of sixteen documents representing collaborative curriculum development in Australia across eight areas of learning. The statements provide a framework for curriculum development by education systems and schools. They are divided into strands and further structured in four bands, roughly corresponding to the stages of schooling: lower primary, upper primary, junior secondary and post-compulsory. The statements do not provide a syllabus. Rather, they provide a foundation for courses which will meet students' needs and reflect advances in …

Assessment and Reporting
The 1989 Basic Skills Testing Program in New South Wales provides the most comprehensive picture yet compiled of literacy and numeracy learning in Australian primary schools. In 1989, some 53,800 Year 6 students in NSW government schools were tested in five aspects of literacy and numeracy. Another 2,300 Year 3 students took part in a pilot study. This book discusses the writing of the tests, the analysis of results, and the reporting of results to parents, teachers and schools. The aim of the basic skills tests is to describe, in positive terms, the skills that students have mastered, to identify …
Ends And Means In Arithmetic, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)
Ends And Means In Arithmetic, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)
Primary School Studies
First published in 1952, this pamphlet suggests there is need for a new approach to the subject of applied arithmetic. But social utility, if not the sole justification of arithmetic, is the main one. If it were applied as a touchstone to the litter of wearisome material that clutters up the present courses, much would be found false and useless. Perhaps if we could agree upon the ends that arithmetic should serve, we would have gone a long" way towards finding the means to attain them.
