- Summary:
-
In July 1983, the Board of Advanced Education, Queensland, Australia, considered the problem of the acute shortage of secondary science and mathematics teachers and the role of teacher education in remedying the situation. The Board of Teacher Education was approached and asked to investigate matters pertaining to the supply and education of mathematics and science teachers within the state. This document represents the report of the Working Committee appointed by the Board of Teacher Education, and is a result of the committee's numerous meetings and surveys. The report contains information pertaining to: (1) the teacher crisis in mathematics and science; (2) participation, achievement and attitudes of secondary students in science and mathematics; (3) mathematics and science in the curriculum (including a historical overview of curricula in Queensland from 1964 to 1984); (4) current education of science and mathematics teachers; and (5) future directions in the education of science and mathematics teachers. The appendices include a list of recommendations, the interim report of the working committee, an analysis of class teacher qualifications and descriptions of current programs available in Queensland for the preparation of science and mathematics teachers.
