Project Outline:
This is a multifaceted project that focuses on culturally responsive pedagogy and practice within early childhood and primary education. We live in a multiethnic society and Australian classrooms are more diverse than ever before. Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP) has been shown to be successful in promoting equitable educational outcomes in a range of international educational contexts. However, in Australia there has been limited theorisation or research of CRP, or documentation of CRP in practice (Morrison et al., 2019).
Several aspects of CRP in Australia require further investigation such as curricular materials (including digital resources), teacher dispositions and school–community relations (Castagno & Brayboy 2008), as well as teaching practices to develop pedagogies that embrace and build on students’ identities and backgrounds as assets for learning (Morrison et al., 2019). This research has important implications for the education of pre-service teachers and for in-service professional development of teachers.
Desired Skills: Ability to work in both qualitative and quantitative research areas may be important, depending upon the research question that is open to development by the applicant with the support of the supervisors.
Project Area: Society and Culture: Equity and Inclusion within education
Supervisor(s): Dr Helen Adam; Elizabeth Jackson- Barrett; Associate Professor Matthew Byrne
