E-raamat: Educating Indigenous Children in Australian Juvenile Justice Systems: Culturally Responsive Pedagogy in Mathematics

Bronwyn Ewing is an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at the Queensland University of Technology, School of Teacher Education and Leadership, Australia. Bronwyns core research interest investigates the problems of education failure for low socio-economic, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and special needs children and young people.  She uses a transdisciplinary approach to  research and grounds it in theoretical approaches that emphasise maths as human endeavour, and considers pedagogical, contextual and multi-sensory influences on individual learners and learning. She often uses mixed-method designs that lend themselves to real and lived settings of those with whom she works.
