Abstract

Effective HSC teachers, argues this paper, are those who do not let their classroom teaching be dominated by the HSC exam itself, and those who use a wide range of teaching strategies to build student understanding. A key common factor was an emphasis on having students think, solve problems and apply knowledge.
