Research also shows that teachers and classroom practices are key agents to change these attitudes. This paper examines teachers’ perceptions of students’ attitudes towards mathematics and careers in STEM, as well as classroom practices emanating from those perceptions. Combining data from two studies, a large-scale survey and an intervention, we argue three main points: (1) student attitudes and teachers’ perceptions of those attitudes quite clearly differ, (2) targeted interventions showing links between mathematics and careers in STEM can have an influence on students’ perceptions of STEM careers and (3) an implementation of classroom ability grouping based on standardised test scores can be disadvantageous to students who have a natural inclination towards STEM and positive attitudes towards mathematics.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:26:49 AEST ]]> Quality Teaching @UON Final Report https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40935 Thu 21 Jul 2022 15:52:20 AEST ]]> Cutting up is hard to do: the parameterized complexity of k-Cut and related probelms https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:946 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:29:53 AEDT ]]> Looking at the stars https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9925 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:16 AEDT ]]> Identification and development of strategies for increasing engineering enrolments: final report of the ARC Linkage Project https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16317 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:21 AEDT ]]> Influences on engineering enrolments: a synthesis of the findings of recent reports https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6840 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:44 AEDT ]]> Teaching academics' self-efficacy in curriculum change https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30322 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:50 AEDT ]]> Girls in mathematics: final report https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36986 Mon 27 Jul 2020 15:43:48 AEST ]]> Girls in Maths research project: extension report https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36985 Mon 27 Jul 2020 15:28:29 AEST ]]> Towards quality teaching in higher education: pedagogy-focused academic development for enhancing practice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43635 Mon 26 Sep 2022 16:29:45 AEST ]]> Why we should capitalise on early childhood interest in engineering: changes in students’ interest over the school years https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50009 Mon 26 Jun 2023 12:33:51 AEST ]]> Engaging Students, Teachers and Industry Through Statistics Towards Greater Connection and Social Responsibility https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47531 Mon 23 Jan 2023 12:22:33 AEDT ]]> Improving student achievement through professional development: results from a randomised controlled trial of Quality Teaching Rounds https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38355 n = 5478). Outcomes at baseline and 8-month follow-up were compared for QTR, QTR trainer-led, peer-observation, and wait-list control groups. Students in the QTR group made 25% more progress in mathematics than the control group (g = 0.12, 95% CI: 0.07-0.17). This result supports QTR as a form of PD with significant potential for wider impact.]]> Fri 19 Aug 2022 14:18:20 AEST ]]> Learning across discipline boundaries through narrative inquiry: a study of collaboration to improve mathematics teacher education https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42236 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:49:33 AEST ]]>
