| Resumo: | In Australia and internationally, decreasing participation in mathematics, science and engineering is occurring at a time when competencies in these disciplines are increasingly important for scientific and mathematical competencies in the workplace and for full participation in contemporary society. This is the final report from the Reconceptualising Maths and Science Teacher Education Programs (ReMSTEP) project. The major over-arching thrust of ReMSTEP was concerned with changing people's conceptions and personal mindsets of mathematics and science, including students, teachers and more general society. That is, a reconceptualisation from a traditional paradigm that maths and science knowledge is fixed and 'hard' and consists of solving problems using known techniques, towards a more realistic paradigm that maths and science are about applying and discovering new knowledge to solve real-world contemporary problems. ReMSTEP established a network of four leading universities dedicated to developing new teacher education approaches that align contemporary practices in the sciences with innovative and engaging approaches to teaching and learning. |
