Learning Environment And Approaches To Learning In China And Australia: A Tale Of Three Accounting Cohorts, Riccardo Natoli, Tracey Mcdowall, Zi Wei, Beverley Jackling
Australasian Accounting, Business and Finance Journal
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate whether learning approaches are impacted by the learning environment across two countries and three accounting student cohorts. This paper utilises a logistic regression based on responses from 1,381 students across five higher education (HE) institutions from China and Australia. The findings provide original empirical evidence of the Chinese accounting students’ expectations of deep learning and show that student perceptions of good teaching is a key determinant to a deep approach to learning for all three student cohorts. In addition, clear goals and standards were significant for Chinese accounting students studying both …
Leadership Challenges And Opportunities Experienced By International Women Academics: A Case Study In Australia, Jasvir Kaur Nachatar Singh
Leadership Challenges And Opportunities Experienced By International Women Academics: A Case Study In Australia, Jasvir Kaur Nachatar Singh
Journal of University Teaching & Learning Practice
Scholarly articles on international academics have been weighted towards understanding their broad personal and professional challenges related to teaching. Limited research is conducted with international women academics in Australia in, especially, exploring their leadership-related challenges and opportunities. Using an intersectionality lens, this paper addresses this gap by exploring key related challenges and opportunities for international women academics in gaining leadership positions at Australian universities. It draws on qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with seven international women academics. The findings contribute to the body of knowledge in exploring two major challenges faced by international women academics in Australia: 1) administrative-related interruption …

This study aims to identify abnormal trading volume at ASX around eight selected significant announcements and measures of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia. The study finds sufficient evidence to indicate that the COVID-19 announcements and calculations influence investor decisions on the ASX as the pandemic evolved.
Persistent Lidar-Based Post-Fire Changes In Vegetation Structure Over A Large Range Of Australian Forests, William Harris
Persistent Lidar-Based Post-Fire Changes In Vegetation Structure Over A Large Range Of Australian Forests, William Harris
Science, Medicine & Health - Honours Theses
Fuel load is one of the primary determinants for fire behaviour in Australian forests. In South-Eastern Australia, ground and elevated fuel loads are generally considered highest at 15-20 years post-fire. Current methodology for predicting fuel load often relies on low resolution vegetation maps, simple time-since-fire relationships, and often incorrectly used ground-fuel models for elevated and canopy fuels. The combination of these prevents many modern fuel load models from revealing the fine-scale processes that truly drive fuel load accumulation. This study seeks to correct these issues by using high-resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) alongside generalised additive models (GAM) and a …

Background: Racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity in Australia is rapidly increasing. Although Indigenous Australians account for only approximately 3.5% of the country’s population, over 50% of Australians were born overseas or have at least one migrant parent. Migration accounts for over 60% of Australia’s population growth, with migration from Asia, Sub-Saharan African and the Americas increasing by 500% in the last decade. Little is known about Australian mental health care practitioners’ attitudes toward this diversity and their level of cultural competence. Aim: Given the relationship between practitioner cultural competence and the mental health outcomes of non-White clients, this study …
The Deakin Sisters: Becoming ‘New Women’ In Twentieth-Century Australia, Louise Scott-Deane
The Deakin Sisters: Becoming ‘New Women’ In Twentieth-Century Australia, Louise Scott-Deane
University of Wollongong Thesis Collection 2017+
Using the rich and largely unexplored archival records of the Deakin sisters, this thesis presents the first in-depth collective biography of their lives. While they were the daughters of Australian Prime Minister, Alfred Deakin (1856-1919), the Deakin sisters, Ivy (1883-1970), Stella (1886-1976) and Vera (1891-1978), are not the subjects of this historical examination because of their connection to a powerful man. They are instead being studied because of the significant insights they provide into individual (elite) women’s experiences of the new opportunities which emerged for Australian women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Examining their lives reveals the …
