Description
Summary:[...]200 conversations with 3–8 year olds about what and how they like to learn are at the centre of the first article by Beverley Flückiger, Julie Dunn and Madonna Stinson. From this body of evidence, it emerges that children’s perceptions tend to reflect the type of learning opportunities they experience. [...]students in situations characterised by teacher-directed approaches describe learning to be more about listening and following directions while students experiencing more varied learning opportunities experience learning to be more collaborative and explorative. [...]analyses of school leaders’ views suggested some challenges in the way in which possible discrimination may occur through low teacher expectation, lack of awareness of cultural protocols or a biased curriculum which would not be addressed through reliance on celebrating events to promote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.
