EDUC90947 Mathematics: Building teacher capacity

Assessment Task 1/2024

‘Big data’ interpretation

Due: 25 Aug 2024 (Sun) 11.59pm

(2500 words max)

As a teacher / educator of mathematics, part of your building your teacher capacity is associated with being literate in interpreting relevant ‘big data’ presentations which had been created by yourself, your school, or others, with the potential for informing pedagogical development and improvement.

In this assessment task, you are to nominate any one topic we have discussed (or will discuss) in the weekly workshops, select any one set of ‘big data’ (e.g. school NAPLAN data, TIMSS/PISA data, others’ research data which are publicly available, etc), where n is at least 150 each, explain and interpret them in context, and present a recommendation which is strategic and meaningful to the average Australian mathematics classroom.

The focus of your recommendation not only needs to take into account the current state of school mathematics education in Australia (e.g. out-of-field teachers of mathematics, migrant students, lack of improvement in mathematics performance as revealed by TIMSS and PISA, etc), it will also be forward-looking as we equip our mathematics students with the knowledge, skills, dispositions and motivation for  navigating the challenges and opportunities of living in the 21st Century or the 4th Industrial Revolution.

It is expected that relevant research literature is referred to to lend support to any argument or assertion made in your writing.
