Carter, Merilyn – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2012
Is the time allowed for National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) numeracy tests sufficient? Is there any evidence that students run out of time and, if so, what are the implications for teachers who prepare students for NAPLAN numeracy tests? In each of the 2010 Years 7 and 9 numeracy tests students were required to complete 32…

Zink, Robyn; Dyson, Michael – Cambridge Journal of Education, 2009
In this paper we use an example of when students appear not to have learnt from their experience to examine some of the "orthodoxies" of experiential education. This frames a discussion exploring how it is possible for a teacher to declare that students have got it "wrong" in relation to learning from experience. It is argued…

Chandler, Paul D. – Australian Journal of Education, 2013
This study draws on a survey of 800 upper primary school students concerning their knowledge of certain 'new media' applications. The findings concur with other studies in suggesting that students' relationship with technology is more complex and nuanced than is conveyed by a simple branding of 'digital native'. Some differential experiences…
