Louise Sutherland; Lina Markauskaite; Ken Cruickshank – Professional Development in Education, 2023
It is difficult to identify direct causal relationships between school-based professional learning initiatives and changes in the participating teachers' competencies or their students' learning outcomes. This paper contributes a novel approach to examining the impact of such school-based professional learning by integrating the constructs of…

Abraham, Jessy; Barker, Katrina – Research in Science Education, 2023
In recent decades, several countries have made efforts to close the historic gender gap in physics through curricular reforms. Research indicates that while the acute underrepresentation of females in physics courses and related careers is linked to a number of interlaced social, contextual and motivational factors, the personal relevance of…

Bone, Elisa K.; Ross, Pauline M. – Studies in Higher Education, 2021
In a competitive higher education sector, large-scale curriculum reviews are common, and increasingly require alignment with broader graduate attributes. Outcomes-based reviews can be difficult in practice, especially in generalist degrees such as science and mathematics, where students' future career pathways are uncertain and varied. Working…

Bellocchi, Alberto; Mills, Reece; Davis, James; Bourke, Theresa – Teaching Science, 2021
The science curriculum's potential for developing students' scientific literacy offers the ideal opportunity for addressing global concerns such as the 'post-truth' epidemic. In this article, we review the Year 10 "Australian Curriculum: Science" for its capacity to help students become producers and consumers of knowledge. We adopt a…

Won, A-Rang; Choi, Su-Yeon; Chu, Hye-Eun; Cha, Hyun-Jung; Shin, Hyeonjeong; Kim, Chan-Jong – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2021
Teachers do not simply deliver a set curriculum, but carry out classes based on practical knowledge, including their values, beliefs, and experiences. Therefore, it is meaningful to investigate the practical knowledge of teaching among teachers in terms of orientation, structure, and content in order to understand the teacher's knowledge,…

Tytler, Russell; van Driel, Jan – Teaching Science, 2021
Contemporary curricula are increasingly focused on broader framings of student outcomes such as 'competencies', 'capabilities' and '21st century skills', as we realise that declarative disciplinary knowledge no longer, on its own, confers the capacity to deal with the complex and fast-changing world that students are now entering. In mathematics,…

Eppler, Elisabeth; Serowy, Steffen; Link, Karl; Filgueira, Luis – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2018
Profound anatomical knowledge is the basis for modern demands in medicine and surgery, but many countries worldwide including Australia and New Zealand have discontinued offering dissection courses to medical and dental students during the past decades. This educational project done in Australia aimed at enhancing basic and advanced anatomy…

Casinader, Niranjan – International Research in Geographical and Environmental Education, 2016
At first glance, the introduction of a national curriculum for Australian schools suggested a new era of revival for school geography. Since the late 1980s, the development and introduction of more integrated conceptions of curriculum design and implementation has seen the decline of Geography as a distinct subject in Australian schools, with…

Matthews, Kelly E.; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy D. – Studies in Higher Education, 2018
Graduate learning outcomes in undergraduate science degrees increasingly are focussed on the development of transferrable skillsets. Research into, and comparisons of, the perceptions of students and academic staff on such learning outcomes has rarely been explored in science. This study used a quantitative survey to explore the perceptions of 640…

Matthews, Kelly E.; Belward, Shaun; Coady, Carmel; Rylands, Leanne; Simbag, Vilma – Higher Education Research and Development, 2016
Higher education policies are increasingly focused on graduate learning outcomes, which infer an emphasis on, and deep understanding of, curriculum development across degree programs. As disciplinary influences are known to shape teaching and learning activities, research situated in disciplinary contexts is useful to further an understanding of…

Paige, Kathryn; Zeegers, Yvonne; Lloyd, David; Roetman, Philip – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
This paper reports on an action research-based professional learning programme (PLP) in which early career teachers volunteered to identify and then research an aspect of their science teaching practice. The PLP was facilitated by academics from the School of Education and the Barbara Hardy Institute at the University of South Australia. The…

Matthews, Kelly E.; Adams, Peter; Goos, Merrilyn – International Journal of Science Education, 2015
In this study, the Science Student Skills Inventory was used to gain understanding of student perceptions about their quantitative skills and compare perceptions of cohorts graduating before and after the implementation of a new science curriculum intent on developing quantitative skills. The study involved 600 responses from final-year…
