澳大利亚试验新的数学筛选工具,以在200所学校早期填补学习差距。 Australia trials new math screening tool to catch learning gaps early in 200 schools.

澳大利亚面临日益严重的算术危机,促使专家倡导及早、频繁地筛选年轻学生的基本数学技能。 Australia faces a growing numeracy crisis, prompting experts to advocate for early, frequent screening of young students’ foundational math skills. 约有200所学校正在试用一个新的工具,即澳大利亚早期数字智能屏幕(ENSSA),其目的是通过衡量风险学生解决问题的效率,而不是仅仅衡量答案是否正确,从而迅速识别风险学生。 A new tool, the Early Number Sense Screener for Australia (ENSSA), is being trialed in about 200 schools and aims to quickly identify at-risk students by measuring how efficiently they solve problems, not just if answers are correct. 目前的评估往往缓慢、一对一、缺少预警信号。 Current assessments are often slow and one-on-one, missing early warning signs. 州政府计划在明年对所有学校实施普遍筛查。 State governments plan to implement universal screening across all schools within the next year. 专家们说,将早期数字意识纳入课程和使用定期、简短的评估可以大大改善长期的数学结果。 Experts say embedding early number sense into the curriculum and using regular, brief assessments could significantly improve long-term math outcomes.
