Cheeseman, Jill; McDonough, Andrea – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
Following the teaching of a unit on mass measurement to 274 children (6 to 8 years of age), each of 13 classroom teachers administered an open-ended assessment task. Children represented their perceived knowledge of mass measurement in response to an "Impress Me" prompt. Drawn and written recordings were complex and multi-dimensional,…

Hatton, Kate, Ed. – Trentham Books, 2019
From within the frame of visual arts education, this collection examines differing and overlapping identities found in higher education. The authors explore expanding relationships of identity-based thinking. They show through their research and work how inclusion debates on race, gender, class and access are extended by adopting intersectional…
