Numeracy, ICT and equity: A study of numeracy and ICT practices in primary schools

计算能力和信息通信技术是关键的生活技能。然而，并不是所有的学生都能在这些关键领域获得平等的机会和成功。本项目研究小学生的算术实践和他们对信息通信技术的使用；确定有效的教学策略，在计算学习中教授信息和通信技术；然后利用这些知识来制定策略，以支持和加强传统上最有可能在计算方面失败的学生的学习。该项目从理论和实践两方面为社会实践提供有关计算的新知识，以支持土著、偏远地区和经济弱势学生的计算成果。

Numeracy and ICT are key lifeskills. However, not all students gain equal access to, and success in, these key areas. This project researches the numeracy practices of primary school students and their use of ICT; identifies effective pedagogical strategies for teaching ICT in and for numeracy learning; and then uses these knowledges to develop strategies to support and enhance learning of students who traditionally are most at risk of failing in numeracy. The project produces new knowledge about numeracy as a social practice at both theoretical and practical levels in order to support numeracy outcomes for indigenous, remote and economically-disadvantaged students.
