Developing the Multimodal Literacy Learning of Indigenous Australian Primary Students through Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being

2010-2014年土著和托雷斯海峡教育行动计划旨在缩小土著和非土著学生之间的教育成果差距。主流的教育实践是基于对知道和存在的信念，这使澳大利亚原住民学生的识字学习被边缘化。该项目将根据四年级和五年级小学生的土著社区做法，开发一种多模式扫盲学习模式。研究人员将与土著长老和一所独立土著学校的校长和教师合作，并在更广泛的土著学校范围内进一步发展这一方法。

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Education Action Plan 2010-2014 aims to close the gap in education outcomes between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Mainstream educational practices are based on beliefs about knowing and being, which marginalise the literacy learning of Indigenous Australian students. This project will develop a model for multimodal literacy learning based on Indigenous community practices with primary students in Years four and five. The researcher will work with Indigenous elders and the principal and teachers at an independent Indigenous school, and further develop this approach within the broader context of Aboriginal schools.
