Abstract
Success in science and mathematics is predicated on successful literacy and numeracy learning. Yet schools and communities across the country struggle to negotiate factors that both impede and facilitate such learning - particularly factors over which they have some control. Working with data more comprehensive than that used previously and applying statistical methods only recently developed, researchers from the South Australian hub of the centre for Science, Information and Communication Technology and Mathematics Education for Rural and Regional Australia (SiMERR-SA) seek answers to three basic questions. What factors influence performance in Literacy and Numeracy? Does living in a rural and remote community influence the outcome? What is the situation in rural and remote South Australia when compared with metropolitan Adelaide? This book, the final in a three part series, documents the findings of this research and makes initial recommendations for the advancement of an innovative approach to the teaching of educational research.
