Research Conference 2016

📖 The Scoop

The focus of ACERâs Research Conference 2016 is on what we are learning from research about ways of improving levels of STEM learning. Australia faces significant challenges in promoting improved science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning in our schools. Research Conference 2016 showcases research into what it will take to address these challenges, which include: the decline in Australian studentsâ mathematical and scientific âliteracyâ; the decline in STEM study in senior school; a shortage of highly qualified STEM subject teachers, and curriculum challenges. The proceedings include contributions from researchers who work with teachers to engage students in studying STEM-related subjects, such as engineering in primary school, and science and maths at all levels. They also include information for teachers on how to engage both girls and boys in STEM learning, through targeted teaching, activities like gaming, and applying learning from neuroscience.
