The organisation of participation structures in everyday learning routines

Professor Marilyn Fleer & Ms Denise Williams Kennedy 

Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies - 2007: $19,961

Project Summary:

The proposed study seeks to examine the organization of children's participation structures in everyday routines in some Indigenous communities within central Australia and rural Victoria.  Through understanding how learning is organised in families, cultural knowledge important for teaching and learning in schools/centres can be determined.  This will have an impact on how teacher education programs and school / centre teaching programs are framed and implemented.  Previous research (Fleer and Williams-Kennedy, 2002) has shown that family learning structures are not well understood in education.
