Sustaining Australia's growth and prosperity is dependent on continuous innovation in the teaching of science. Yet science is one of the least taught subjects in the primary curriculum because teachers lack content knowledge and confidence. This research engages preservice primary teachers in using new technologies to develop their understanding of science content knowledge through digital animation and to collaborate with other preservice teachers interstate and internationally. The products and processes of digital animation will help maintain and expand Australia's base as a knowledge economy as well as provide a social benefit of improved science teaching in schools.

维持澳大利亚的发展和繁荣有赖于科学教学的持续创新。然而，科学是小学课程中教授最少的科目之一，因为教师缺乏充实的知识和信心。这项研究让职前小学教师利用新技术，通过数字动画发展他们对科学内容知识的理解，并与州际和国际上的其他职前教师合作。数字动画的产品和过程将有助于维持和扩大澳大利亚作为知识经济的基础，并提供改善学校科学教学的社会效益。
