Lane, Rod; Catling, Simon – Journal of Geography, 2016
Climatic hazards are a key feature of life. It is vital that teachers are knowledgeable about these phenomena in order to develop their students' understanding of them. This study used a mixed methods approach to examine the accuracy and depth of preservice primary teachers' (n = 430) knowledge of tropical cyclones. The findings suggest that…

Lomas, Laurinda; Clarke, Doug – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2016
As teaching is a cultural activity embedded in a unique context, professional development opportunities for teachers may be best placed amid the relevance of everyday classroom practice, and supported by an innovative curriculum. This progress paper reports on data collected as part of doctoral research studying the changes in mathematical…

Dyment, Janet E.; Hill, Allen – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2015
In this paper, we report on an investigation into initial teacher education students' (ITES) understandings of sustainability and the Australian National Curriculum Sustainability Cross Curricular Priority (CCP). We also explore their willingness and capacities to embed the CCP into their own teaching practices. The ITES (N = 392) completed a…

Brownlee, Joanne; Curtis, Elizabeth; Davey Chesters, Sarah; Cobb-Moore, Charlotte; Spooner-Lane, Rebecca; Whiteford, Chrystal; Tait, Gordon – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2014
Using epistemic perspectives as a theoretical framework, this study investigated Australian pre-service teachers' perspectives about knowing, knowledge and children's learning, as they engaged in a semester-long unit on philosophy in the classroom. During the field experience component of the unit, pre-service teachers were required to teach at…

Yazdanpanah, Lilly K. – TESL-EJ, 2015
English as a second language (ESL) teaching is partly a thinking process in which teacher knowledge plays a pivotal role in making instructional choices (Breen, Hird, Milton, Oliver, & Thwaite, 2001). The present study contributes to understandings of teacher knowledge by exploring the types of knowledge, which practicing teachers value in…

Pierce, Robyn; Chick, Helen; Watson, Jane; Dalton, Michael; Les, Magdalena – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2012
Teachers now require high levels of statistical literacy in order to take advantage of the many statistical reports analysing assessment data that are provided by system authorities. In this report 16 items from the Attitudes and Statistical Literacy Instrument (ASLI) are used with 704 teachers to provide a hierarchical scale of teacher ability to…

Cooke, Audrey – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
It is essential that pre-service teacher educators address pre-service teacher numeracy but with careful consideration as it incorporates more than mathematics skills. Numeracy also involves disposition towards mathematics--attitudes, confidence and mathematics anxiety; that is, the level of willingness to use mathematics skills. As part of an…

Fitzgerald, Angela; Schneider, Katrin – Teaching Science, 2013
Impending change can provide us with the opportunity to rethink and renew the things that we do. The first phase of the Australian Curriculum implementation offers primary school teachers the chance to examine their approaches to science learning and teaching. This paper focuses on the perceptions of three primary school teachers regarding what…

Loong, Esther Yook-Kin – Indonesian Mathematical Society Journal on Mathematics Education, 2014
Whilst the technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) model has been increasingly adopted for understanding teachers' use of technology, there have been many calls for greater discussion about the constituent constructs, their relationship with one another and the central TPACK. This paper analyses qualitatively the TPACK…

Dawson, Vaille – Teaching Science, 2012
Climate change and its effects are likely to present challenging problems for future generations of young people. It is important for Australian students to understand the mechanisms and consequences of climate change. If students are to develop a sophisticated understanding, then science teachers need to be well-informed about climate change…
