- 3. Status quo of secondary science in Australia ★ Australia has seen a decline over the last 20 years in students studying sciences in later highschool years ★ Participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects in Australian schools is declining and are at the lowest level in the last two decades. ★ Performance in these areas has also been decreasing ★ Australia’s declining performance in scientific literacy has also been reported in the PISA 2015 comparative study ★ Australia’s achievement results for scientific literacy was outperformed by 9 countries and shows decline in performance between 2006 to 2015 ★ Only 61% of Australian students achieved the National Proficient Standard in scientific literacy.
- 5. Science Enrolments at University Australian science is generally in good health. At present there is growth in science enrolments in universities. But there are some immediate concerns and challenges in the short to medium term. Science participation in the senior years of school has fallen. Although the rate of this decline has slowed, participation rates have not yet stabilised. Compared with other nations, secondary school performance in science literacy is also slipping. Despite a recent increase in science enrolments at university, the trend has been flat for most of the past decade and has not recovered to the levels achieved in the early 1990s.
- 7. The New Learning Paradigm ★ The “New Learning Paradigm” proposed this decade by Kivunja (2014a) describes a new educational pedagogical approach which combines the learning of both 21st century skills alongside science outcomes detailed in syllabi. ★ This more recent educational paradigm suggests that the true purpose of today’s education is to prepare students for succeeding in continually adjusting environments. ★ Within this paradigm, constructivism is a useful guideline for the student centred teaching and learning of science and the active construction and conceptualization of knowledge and cognition ★ Constructivist science instruction involves students being experiential, active constructors of knowledge rather than passive receivers of chunks of facts. ★ Modern students need to have some autonomy over their learning activities and being given the opportunity to explore and create new ideas which are oriented towards the needs and interests of modern students and hence useful for the learner.

- 10. New generation of learners ❏ We are now in the era of ubiquitous access to technology ❏ Students of today, known as Generation Z are both motivated by technology and can access learning material, educational videos, apps and programs more easily ❏ Generation Z also learn and construct meaning within social settings using social media ❏ Generation Z’s learning styles are also changing. These learners are tech savvy and multitaskers, who have a need to communicate using social media rather than by direct contact with people, and are visual rather than auditory learners ❏ Motivated by interactive games, collaborative small team projects, and challenges they can learn from by trial and error ❏ Engaging Generation Z requires the use of technology with complex graphics, combined with learning activities that are experiential and constructivist in nature, as well as ones that provide instant feedback and positive reinforcement. ❏ It could therefore be postulated that Generation Z would find the use of virtual reality technologies both engaging and a useful educational tool, as this form of technology has many affordances by which these learners are motivated.
