Earth and Environmental Science: Unpacking the Curriculum and Teachers’ Dispositions (Old ID 23510)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
The Queensland Curriculum, Assessment & Reporting Authority have recently developed a new senior secondary syllabus, Earth and Environmental Science (EES), which is due for implementation in Queensland in 2019. This pilot study will critically analyse the new curriculum with a view to understand better the theoretical orientations that underpin it, and investigate senior secondary teachers’ attitudes, beliefs and values regarding the teaching of EES. A critical understanding of the EES curriculum is a necessary prerequisite for exploring how teachers navigate their own dispositions towards EES when enacting the new curriculum, and the impact of this on achieving its aims.
