Building Teachers' Assessment Capacity to Engage Indigenous Learners

这项非常重要的研究将为如何建立更公平的评估实践提供急需的理解，以解决澳大利亚地区和偏远地区土著和托雷斯海峡岛民学生表现不佳的主要问题。预期的结果将促进知识的发展，使其包括文化上更公平的评估做法。国家和州政策现在要求教师使用标准参考报告，本研究将使用相关的干预策略来探索。提高澳大利亚土著青年教育成绩的教学和评估方法将帮助他们在学业上取得成功，并为更有保障的经济、社会和文化未来获得技能。

This highly significant study will provide much needed understanding about how to build more equitable assessment practices to address the major problem of underperforming Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in regional and remote Australia. The anticipated outcomes will advance knowledge to include more culturally fair assessment practices. National and state policies now require teachers to use standards-referenced reporting which this study will explore using related intervention strategies. Pedagogic and assessment approaches to improve young Indigenous Australians' educational performance will help them succeed in schooling and in acquiring skills for a more secure economic, social and cultural future.
