It has been recognised for some considerable time that educational programmes for gifted and talented children are dominated by those from the higher socio-economic groups (47%) and that fewer than 9% come from families in the two lower socio-economic quintiles. There are, of course, other underrepresented groups (ethnic minorities, children from rural areas and inner cities, migrants). A small-scale research project has been undertaken in Australia which explores the experiences and engagement of a group of gifted lower secondary school students in a rural area and following a STEM programme designed around a local rural model which is using local knowledge as a means of developing scientific knowledge and understanding (Morris, Julia, Slater, Eileen, Fitzgerald, Michael T, Lummis, Geoffrey W, Van Etten, Eddie, Using Local Rural Knowledge to Enhance STEM Learning for Gifted and Talented Students in Australia, Research in Science Education [2019]) The Royal Institution of Great Britain has attempted to address some of these inequalities by providing “Masterclass” programmes in a range of STEM subjects. In conjunction with The Royal Academy of Engineering and Ulster University, the first primary Masterclass Maths event ever held on the island of Ireland took place between January and June 2019. Six primary schools each sent six pupils to a host secondary school. The pupils had been selected by standardised test and teacher observation. The pupils were accompanied by members of teaching staff for whom this was part of their CPD. The teaching was provided by staff from the Royal Institution for the first two classes and by staff from the maths department (of the host secondary school) for the final four sessions. Over the six month period of the programme (one half day per month), the pupils investigated Sierpinski Triangles, fractals, the special number Pi, probability, Graph Theory and the Bridges of Konigsberg. This presentation will provide the background to the programme held in Northern Ireland during the first half of 2019 and demonstrate some of the topics explored during the classes.
很长一段时间以来，人们已经认识到，针对天才儿童的教育计划主要由那些来自较高社会经济群体的儿童(47%)所主导，只有不到9%的儿童来自两个较低社会经济五分之一的家庭。当然，还有其他未被充分代表的群体(少数民族、来自农村地区和内城的儿童、移民)。澳大利亚开展了一项小型研究项目，探索农村地区一群有天赋的中学生的经历和参与，并遵循围绕当地农村模式设计的STEM项目，该模式利用当地知识作为发展科学知识和理解的手段(Morris, Julia, Slater, Eileen, Fitzgerald, Michael T, Lummis, Geoffrey W, Van Etten, Eddie，利用当地农村知识加强澳大利亚天才学生的STEM学习，科学教育研究[2019])英国皇家学会试图通过提供一系列STEM学科的“大师班”课程来解决其中的一些不平等现象。在皇家工程院和阿尔斯特大学的合作下，爱尔兰岛于2019年1月至6月举行了有史以来第一次小学数学大师班活动。六所小学各送六名学生到一所寄宿中学。这些学生是通过标准化考试和教师观察选拔出来的。学生们由教学人员陪同，这是他们持续专业发展的一部分。前两节课的教学由皇家学院的教职人员提供，后四节课的教学由(主办中学)数学系的教职人员提供。在六个月的课程期间(每月半天)，学生们研究了谢尔宾斯基三角形、分形、特殊数字Pi、概率、图论和柯尼斯堡桥。本演讲将为2019年上半年在北爱尔兰举行的课程提供背景，并展示课程中探讨的一些主题。
