Multiliteracies for addressing disadvantage in senior school science. This project aims to develop discipline-specific pedagogies in senior physics, chemistry and biology to improve disadvantaged students’ engagement and achievement. Many students from disadvantaged backgrounds fail to develop the linguistic precision and symbolic representational dexterity needed to comprehend and communicate senior school science concepts. These pedagogies will ‘infuse’ multiliteracies in senior school science to improve access to science-based pathways for these students, and enable them to understand progressively more complex scientific concepts and demonstrate this in examinations. This project is expected to improve student retention, arrest declining enrolments in senior school science, and increase young people working in science.

解决高中科学劣势的多元文化。该项目旨在开发高中物理、化学和生物学的特定学科教学法，以提高弱势学生的参与度和成绩。许多来自弱势背景的学生无法培养理解和交流高中科学概念所需的语言精确性和符号表征的灵活性。这些教学法将在高中科学中“注入”多元文化，以改善这些学生获得基于科学的途径的机会，并使他们能够逐渐理解更复杂的科学概念，并在考试中证明这一点。该项目预计将提高学生的保留率，阻止高中科学入学人数的下降，并增加从事科学工作的年轻人。
