Multiliteracies for addressing disadvantage in senior school science

解决高中理科劣势的多重识字能力。这个项目旨在发展高中物理、化学和生物学科的具体教学方法，以提高弱势学生的参与度和成就。许多来自贫困家庭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度和符号表征灵活性。这些教学方法将在高中科学中“灌输”多种文字，以改善这些学生获得以科学为基础的途径，并使他们能够理解越来越复杂的科学概念，并在考试中证明这一点。该项目预计将改善学生留校率，遏制高中理科入学人数的下降，并增加从事理科工作的年轻人。

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.
