Improving middle years mathematics and science: The role of subject cultures in school and teacher change

学生在学校教育的中期脱离数学和科学，以及高年级在这些领域的低保留率，是全国关注的问题。这个项目调查了数学和科学知识的作用，以及学校学科文化，在中介的变化过程中，在中年。它建立在维多利亚为科学教学和学习开发的一个非常成功的变革模型的基础上，以调查教师教学法的一般概念是如何形成的

Student disengagement with mathematics and science in the middle years of schooling, and the low retention rates into these areas in upper years, is of national concern. This project investigates the role of mathematics and science knowledge, and school subject cultures, in mediating change processes in the middle years. It builds on a highly successful change model developed for science teaching and learning in Victoria to investigate how generic conceptions of teacher pedagogy and school change intersect with subject matter knowledge and traditions in the closely related areas of mathematics and science. The findings will inform future school change projects.
