the Government is providing additional support to foster school students'interest and competency in STEM.
This will better equip students with job-relevant skills. Supplementing support for maths, science and computing in schools The Chief Scientist has identified a critical need for learning resources that will engage students in mathematics,
particularly to expand the pipeline of students taking advanced mathematics in senior school years. The Government will
therefore provide $7. 4 million to assist to develop and implement‘Mathematics by inquiry'.'These maths-in-schools programmes for primary and secondary school students will deliver innovative and engaging teaching
and learning resources to support implementation of the Australian Curriculum. Building on these maths education programmes, the Government will provide a further $3. 5 million to encourage the introduction of computer coding across different year levels in Australian schools.‘
‘Coding across the curriculum'will contribute to addressing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry feedback
The Government will also encourage greater student participation in summer schools for STEM students, particularly for girls,
disadvantaged and Indigenous students, including those living in regional and remote areas. This programme is designed to provide students with unique experiences in science
and mathematics, stimulating their passion for these learning areas. The Government will provide $600 000 to support travel and accommodation for participants, building on existing national summer schools for STEM.
Trialling a new, innovative pathway from education to work To help develop the next generation of Australian innovators and job-ready graduates,

and facilitate the learning content, be books, pictures or otherwise. Through the arrival of electronic media, initially analogue and then digital the use of media in learning has become an increasingly important feature.
It has allowed the potential facilitation of learning content to a range of learning styles and learner needs.
This component provides a brief overview and explains some of the issues involved. Enhancing the learning environment within the workplace is a key element in the facilitation and management of innovation. 9. 2. 1
. What Is based Media Training (MBT)?.192 9. 2. 2. Where media applies?..192 9. 2. 3. Why Media Based Training?..
Media-based training basically utilises some of these media to enhance the learning process, address different learning styles and to broaden the range of learning resources
and often making them more accessible, especially those that are based digitally via online learning. The use of media only enhances learning
when the media matches the learning content. Media for the sake of media will not achieve the desired learning effect.
There must be a clear link between the learning method employed and the media. Electronic media can be distinguished between analogue and digitally based media.
Analogue media is by now means dated if appropriate in the learning context. It can be cheap and easy to utilise.
Digital media however can be more versatile, flexible in its application, especially when using the internet as a resource.
Most of the following refers to digital media. 9. 2. 2. Where media applies? Boring instruction is not an effective one.
Minds wander, attention wanes, learners muddle through, maybe. When learners are through, they want to escape as quickly as possible.
Little is retained. Needed behaviours have not been established. Rich associations do not exist for learners to remember key points.
Learning trough media will provide choices in how to learn. Media-based Training (MBT) is concerned with teaching
and learning through the media. It is worthy to notice that there is a clear need of emotional intensity of media simulated experience for learning to last.
Good MBT solutions are more than purely cognitive exercises they evoke emotions. These solutions can train thousands of people all over the world simultaneously
but learner can use them also on request. Moreover, given the socially constructed nature of knowledge
creation of meaning and efficient learning are inevitably a social process. MBT creates the conditions for deep learning through reflective dialogue with others.
MBT can be applied in all types of firms. In the new online evolving collaborative learning
and working environment creative thinking may emerge. 9. 2. 3. Why Media Based Training? Each approach to learning has advantages and disadvantages.
This is no different when using MBT. The illustrations below are aimed to list some of these.
the technology aspect can at times become the focal point rather than the learning as illustrated below.
Learners progress through a lesson along paths determined by the designer or choices by the learner.
emotional subjects or subtle knowledge that requires rich interaction with the computer or other learners;
Learner-customized tutorials: is used to let learners customize training to their individual needs; especially suits learners with widely varying needs, interests and levels of knowledge;
Knowledge-paced tutorials: is used to let impatient learners skip over topics on which they are already knowledgeable;
Exploratory-tutorials: is used to teach learners to learn on their own by developing their skills of navigating complex electronic information sources;
Generated-lessons: is used to customize learning for those who have very specific needs and not much time or patience to complete topics they have learned already.
Metaphors and their support for innovation A metaphor is a consistent design that models the structure and the appearance of the MBT solution on something familiar to learners.
A metaphor can be extended an analogy, theme, motif, ongoing scenario or overall question. Metaphors are common in MBT.
A good metaphor: lets people apply what they know about the real world environment to the task of navigating the MBT course;
makes the learning environment more predictable; contains objects and actions corresponding to real-world; give the MBT solution a unified and consistent appearance and organization;

models and simulations for economics and business teachers, lecturers and students. The simulations also have support materials that have been written to enhance their educational value.
Business studies, Economics, Accounting etc. http://www. engines4ed. org/hyperbook/nodes/NODE-130-pg. html Dustin sets up situations that the student will encounter in real life
and allows the student to demonstrate his competence. If the student succeeds at one task,
he can skip ahead to the next lesson. If he has trouble, he can return to the beginning of the instruction.
Because the student is simulated in a situation identical to the one in which he will have to function,
Dustin allows students to learn language in realistic situations. But it will probably not enhance a student's performance on achievement tests.
A Dustin student cannot be graded in the conventional sense, but what we can see is
if a student successfully completed various tasks. Domains: Foreign language http://www. engines4ed. org/hyperbook/nodes/NODE-302-pg. html Modern training regimens often divorce instruction from practice,
concentrating on either one or the other. Guss (Guided Social Simulation) brings them together. Guss applications are based on flexible social simulations.
Each teacher monitors the student's ongoing activity in the simulation and offers a particular type of intervention.
Science 9. 2. 6. Preliminary conclusion By using efficient MBT solutions we can get both the transition from dependence to independence in learning,
and implies collaboration in learning and self professional development. These solutions take into account approaching the learners as whole persons,
not only as intellects, the change with respect to knowledge in terms of approach, conception, attitudes and behaviour, and the achievement of transformation skills, self evaluation and creation of learning communities.
The use of the right metaphors in combination with the appropriate lesson structures can provide for a rich and effective learning environment that can be stimulating the generation of innovative ideas.
