Building Teacher Capability Using STEM Partnership Models (Old ID 22736)

Tanya Doyle

22 Feb 2016 - 04 Nov 2016

We propose to establish and pilot two QSTEM Hubs - one metropolitan and one regional. Each hub will consist of three to four schools. Industry partners will be identified via our links with the Australian Industry Group (AIG) and in consultation with the school principals and Regional STEM Officers, and invited to participate. The AIG has a strong commitment to building STEM capital through industry partnerships with education, demonstrated through its STEM Skills project and STEM Program Index 2016, and has agreed to facilitate industry participation in our project. Other suitable partners such as museums, science centres, research institutes, community groups etc. will be identified through QUT connections as well as those of the schools and the department, and invited to participate.

Responding to Indigenous students' and their communities' voiced experiences regarding effective teaching practices: A Catholic Education initiative (Old ID 20664)

Helen Boon

01 Jul 2013 - 31 Dec 2017

In response to the continued gap in achievement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students, this project focuses on addressing the essential need for Australian-based empirically-grounded culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) research on teaching practices consistent with the voiced concerns of Indigenous students and the communities they represent. Paralleling consequentially similar work in Canada and New Zealand, the study will tease out and test facets of quality teaching that are salient to Aboriginal students for the purpose of improving achievement outcomes for Indigenous students and informing teaching and teacher education.
