Engaging Rural Knowledges in Education for Sustainable Community Futures

该项目旨在加强对农村、区域和偏远社区现有和独特知识的了解，以及如何利用这些知识来提高以大都市为重点的当代教育的成就。该项目将使人们对农村知识、对学生课程获取和成绩的相关影响以及农村、区域和偏远社区如何理解教育成功产生新的理解。通过对来自六个农村、区域和偏远社区的系统、社区焦点小组和学校个案研究的数据进行详细分析，该项目有望增进知识，帮助教育更好地满足农村、区域和偏远社区的需求。

This project aims to enhance understanding of the existing and unique knowledges in rural, regional and remote communities and how these can be used to enhance achievement in contemporary, metropolitan-focused, education. The project will generate new understandings about rural knowledge, related influences upon student curriculum access and achievement, and how rural, regional and remote communities understand educational success. Through detailed analysis of data from systems, community focus groups, and school case-studies in six rural, regional and remote communities this project expects to advance knowledge to help make education better meet the needs of rural, regional and remote communities.
