Zevenbergen, Robyn; Zevenbergen, Kelly – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2009
Within increasing pressure on young people to perform successfully in work, there is a growing concern regarding their levels of numeracy (and literacy). Whether such concerns are founded is the basis of this paper. This paper reports on the numeracy practices undertaken by three young boatbuilders who were nearing the completion of their 4-year…

Zevenbergen, Robyn – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2007
This article explores the implications of young learners' dispositions towards the use of digital technologies in contemporary early childhood settings. It is proposed that young learners have grown up in very different social conditions from previous generations, mainly through the saturation of digital technologies, in particular computers. This…

Zevenbergen, Robyn; Logan, Helen – Australian Journal of Early Childhood, 2008
This paper reports on the outcomes of a survey implemented in a large regional community of Australia. The survey was completed by parents of children aged four-five years and attending local early childhood centres. The survey identified the types of access and use of computers by preschool children. It was found that the children of the…

Zevenbergen, Robyn; Lerman, Steve – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2008
Interactive whiteboards (IWB) are an innovation that is gaining considerable presence in many contemporary classrooms. This paper examines the use of IWBs in mathematics classrooms. Using a productive pedagogies framework to analyse classroom videos, it is proposed that the classrooms observed used a restricted approach in their use of IWBs. It…

Zevenbergen, Robyn – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2005
Ability grouping is a common practice in many mathematics classrooms. Its negative effects on students have been documented in research spanning two decades or more, and yet it is still widely implemented--in some countries even mandated. Using data from interviews with Australian students in the compulsory years of secondary schooling (14-16…

Zevenbergen, Robyn – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2005
Mathematics teacher education programs are designed with an intention, explicit or implicit, to produce graduates who are competent in both pedagogic knowledge and discipline knowledge. This paper explores students' experiences in coming to learn mathematics and mathematics education. Using an example from a quiz question, supplemented with…

Sullivan, Peter; Mousley, Judith; Zevenbergen, Robyn – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2006
The basic unit of school based mathematics teaching is the lesson. This article is a contribution to understanding teacher actions that facilitate successful lessons, defined as those that engage all students, especially those who may sometimes feel alienated from mathematics and schooling, in productive and successful mathematical thinking and…

Zevenbergen-Jorgensen, Robyn; Grootenboer, Peter; Niesche, Richard; Lerman, Stephen – Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, 2010
The poor performance of Australian Indigenous students in mathematics is a complex and enduring issue that needs a range of strategies to enable success in schooling for these students. Importantly, large numbers of teachers in remote Indigenous contexts are new graduates who, although full of enthusiasm, lack experience. Similarly, many of them…

Jorgensen, Robyn Zevenbergen; Niesche, Richard – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2008
For many students, the experience of school mathematics is not a positive one. Processes of exclusion operate to disadvantage students along social class, race and gender lines. For students from backgrounds that are not part of the success regime, significant scaffolding by teachers is needed if they are to be successful. In this article, the…
