This review investigates two foci: the identification of teacher actions influencing learning outcomes for  \nAboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students and the  \nmethodological approach to how the influence of teacher behaviours  \non student learning has been determined. The literature review  \nidentifies that published literature in the effective teaching area is  \npredominantly in the ‘good ideas ’category; that is assertions are  \nmade by authors with no research-based evidence for supporting such claims, especially through quantitative research which seeks to test the influence of specific facets of quality teaching, especially those facets identified by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students as the qualities of effective teachers. Where there is evidence supporting best  \npractices, the evidence is primarily qualitative in nature. The review  \naffirms the need for empirical evidence to “tease out facets of quality  \nteaching that are salient to Aboriginal students; elucidate their  \nperspectives of teacher quality; and test the influence of specific facets of quality teaching on academic outcomes and the consequences of the findings for developing interventions for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.” Craven, Bodkin-Andrews and Yeung's (2007, p4)  \nIntroduction  \nAlthough Australia has a long-standing status as a country that delivers high quality education, more recent data from international evaluation assessments such as the Program for International Student Assessment have categorized Australia as a low equity-high quality education performer and provider (OECD, 2012). This sustained disparity in equity is especially evident in comparative achievement data for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students (McGaw, 2006, MCEETYA, 2008) . The current national discourse in education shows contest among a variety of stakeholders for methods by which this disadvantage can be ameliorated. Within this contest are voices advocating different approaches that can assist in improving educational outcomes for students generally and Indigenous (both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) students specifically (Archer & Hughes, 2011; Hattie, 2009; Luke, 2010; Pearson, 2011, Rowe, 2006, Sarra, 2011) . A privileged voice in this debate is John Hattie, whose meta-analyses of more than 800 studies compare a wide range of influences on educational achievement. Hattie (2003, 2009) concludes we need to focus attention nationally  \non the","cbCainNeAs8FwhkL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainNeAs8FwhkL","pdf",2598631,23,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Equity and education discourse in Australia\n## Teacher-focused evidence and cultural context\n## Purpose and research questions","[{\"question\":\"What does the literature review focus on regarding teacher actions?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on identifying teacher actions that influence Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander learning outcomes and on the methodological approaches used to determine how teacher behaviours affect student learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the review say about the quality of evidence in effective teaching research?\",\"answer\":\"It reports that much effective teaching literature falls into the “good ideas” category, with authors making assertions that lack research-based quantitative support; where best practices are supported, the evidence is primarily qualitative.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper argue for empirical evidence for Aboriginal students?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for empirical work to clarify which facets of quality teaching are salient to Aboriginal students, explain their perspectives on teacher quality, test the influence of specific facets on academic outcomes, and use findings to develop interventions.\"}]","Effective Teaching Practices for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students - A Review of the Literature | PDF",1792077716,58]
