Schooling Issues Digest : School Effectiveness, John Cresswell

Dr John Cresswell

There have been many developments in school effectiveness research since the 1960s when it was said that schools contributed little to the difference between students' outcomes. A number of processes associated with effective schools have been identified and these factors have been incorporated into school improvement programs. Continued detailed longitudinal research should allow for further evaluation of these factors which will lead to better learning outcomes for students.

Five Years On : Literacy Advance In The Primary Years, John Ainley, Marianne Fleming

Dr John Ainley

This report details the outcomes of Phase Three of the Literacy Advance Research Project that investigates the implementation of this system- wide reform to improve the literacy development and student achievement of students in Victorian Catholic schools. There are two components to the research for Phase Three which examines and compares the growth in literacy of two cohorts of students from the beginning of Year 1 to the end of Year 3, and it follows the literacy development of the first cohort of students who were in Year 1 in literacy at the different year levels. The study highlights the …

The Highly Questionable "Highly Qualified" Label, Elaine Hampton

Elaine Hampton

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is instrumental in the national movement toward the use of one short-answer test as the gate-keeping instrument to prevent or allow university graduates trained in education to enter the teaching profession. This investigation questions the wisdom of this test-based certification by looking at the impact on recent (university education program) graduates who have had difficulty passing the tests. Four of these graduates provided information via in-depth interviews. The interview data provide evidence that raises questions about the value of taking these people out of the teaching profession. The individuals provide evidence of …

Gender Differences In Education And Labour Market Outcomes, Kylie Hillman, Sheldon Rothman

Dr Sheldon Rothman

Despite numerous changes in policy and legislation, issues of gender equity in the Australian education system and labour market remain a concern, particularly the poorer performance of males on tests of literacy and in rates of Year 12 completion. The results of research on the topic are summarised in this article. They suggest that although there is a statistically significant difference between the average levels of reading comprehension of male and female students, this difference may not extend beyond the classroom to seriously affect later outcomes. Males on average continue to progress, through both the education system and the labour …

For String Orchestra

Performer:

Eastern Kentucky University String Orchestra

Mark Chambers, conductor.

Remembranza is a Spanish word that means remembrance. This piece was especially written for the Eastern Kentucky University’s String Orchestra as part of a series of pedagogical works that Marianella Machado has been composing in the last ten years for high school, college, and non-professional orchestras. These works feature major compositional techniques and procedures from 1900 to the present.

The principal compositional techniques employed in Remembranza are metric modulation, polytonality, and quotation. The tempo of this piece remains steady but every six or eight measures there is a …

Factors Influencing Reading Achievement In Germany And Finland : Evidence From Pisa 2000, Dieter Kotte, Petra Lietz

Dr Petra Lietz

In this article the authors discuss the findings from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The initiative was implemented by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2000. In a three-year cycle it was planned to compare the performance of 15-year-old students across member countries. The first cycle in 2000 focused on Reading, the second cycle in 2003 on Mathematics, and the third cycle in 2006 will concentrate on Science, with the other two areas featuring as minor components. The information gained from PISA is the basis on which the OECD develops some of the educational indicators …

When The Whole Is Less Than The Sum Of The Parts: Humanising Convergence In Iinteractive Systems Design, Steve Howard, Elizabeth Hartnell-Young, Graeme Shanks, John Murphy, Jennie Carroll

Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young

Convergence, viewed as the union of disparate technical solutions, is frequently proposed as a way of maximising value for end users: reducing the number of distinct technologies users have to purchase, learn and use. Yet few empirical studies of use and convergent technology have been reported. Though convergence as a catchphrase has had currency for over a decade now, a tension remains between those who argue for strong-specific solutions, i.e. carefully targeted ‘information appliances’, and those who prefer weak-general approaches, the ICT equivalent of the Swiss army knife. We describe the dynamic nature of the trade-off between usability and functional …
