Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (46th, Gold Coast, Australia, Jun 30-Jul 4, 2024)
The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system is Queensland's senior school qualification. To support the introduction of the system in 2019, existing senior syllabuses were redeveloped and a new senior assessment model was established, this included the implementation of a mandatory high-stakes assessment task, the Problem-solving and Modelling Task (PSMT) in all four mathematics syllabi. The PSMT required new skills from both students and teachers to manage complex, open-ended investigations. In this paper, we reflect on our school's approach to build teacher capability in designing PSMTs and supporting student engagement with PSMTs.
