Cohesion And Purpose : A Consideration Of The Structure Of Pre-Service Teacher Education, Douglas C. Courts
Cohesion And Purpose : A Consideration Of The Structure Of Pre-Service Teacher Education, Douglas C. Courts
Research outputs pre 2011
Any consideration of the structure of pre-service teacher education must take account of the long-standing and still-continuing debate on the relative merits of consecutive and concurrent patterns of training. The co-existence of both approaches - the universities with degree courses followed by one-year professional training and the majority of colleges of advanced education with concurrent course structures - shows that not only are both systems viable but that neither can claim significant superiority. It is often argued that the concurrent pattern is more suited to the training of primary school teachers while the consecutive pattern, particularly in the university context, …
Language Problems And Aboriginal Education, Ed Brumby (Ed.)
Language Problems And Aboriginal Education, Ed Brumby (Ed.)
Research outputs pre 2011
Effective communication must be an essential feature of any teaching/ .learning situation and it follows that considerable difficulties arise when teacher and learner speak different and mutually unintelligible languages or dialects. This, unfortunately, is the situation in which many, if not most, Aboriginal children and their teachers throughout Australia find themselves. This classroom situation reflects, of course, the difficulties and frustrations experienced on a wider scale by many Aboriginal parents and Aboriginal communities, and those outsiders who work with them. The problem is compounded further by the fact that few teachers or others who work in Aboriginal areas are given …

Features Of Serbo-Croatian For Language Teachers, Eric G. Vaszolyi
Research outputs pre 2011
Teachers of migrant children experience a great many difficulties in trying to understand and resolve their pupils' language problems. One basic problem is all too familiar: the teacher speaks English and the migrant child does not understand it or only understands it to some, rather limited, extent. Another problem area: the pupil picks up some English in the classroom, on the playground and out in the street but speaks it with a peculiar accent and peppers it with phonemic, grammatical and semantic errors. The child's deviations from the generally accepted patterns of English (i.e. the prevalent variety of English spoken …

A music drama in three acts, for Junior Primary School children. The story is based on the Ramayana saga, as told by Joanna Troughton in her book The Story of Rama and Sita. The words of the drama have been drawn from discussions with the children, and wherever possible the children's own words have been used.
Students from Churchlands College of Advanced Education were involved in the development of the drama, and in planning and conducting preparatory experiences for and with the children.

Talking With Children, Brian Lever
Talking With Children, Brian Lever
Research outputs pre 2011
This book is a collection of interviews with children. It is intended to give the reader a glimpse of some of the ways in which children think about things. Some of the interviews are almost whimsical. Others are quite serious.
The interviews were conducted by a group of twenty student teachers during their last term of teacher training. This group of student teachers were but a small part of a much larger group of students all of whom had been given the task of interviewing a child. The purpose of the task was partly to give the students an opportunity …
Our Multicultural Future And The School, John Sherwood (Ed.)
Our Multicultural Future And The School, John Sherwood (Ed.)
Research outputs pre 2011
It is only in the last four or five years that an observable effort has been made to extend the growing awareness within the community that Australia's population is clearly multicultural in composition. Despite this, most of the political, economic and social structures and organisations in the community do not adequately reflect or cater for the variety of people of different ethnic origins and identities.
While this increasing awareness in individuals is encouraging, it has been evident that the focus of discussions, conferences and gatherings to date, in Western Australia at least, has been rather narrow. Some have concentrated on …

Preparing Teachers For Aboriginal Education : Report On The National Conference, Ed Brumby (Ed.)
Research outputs pre 2011
The first National Conference of Teachers of Aboriginal Children was held in Adelaide between 29th August and 1st September, 1976. The conference delegates expressed their concern about the ineffectiveness of teachers in Aboriginal schools and while recognizing that the task was often a demanding one, they were generally critical of the lack of expertize of recent graduates and the high staff turn over in Aboriginal schools...
Work-Study Innovative Teaching Programme (Wsitp) : Evaluation Report, Rod Mcdonald
Work-Study Innovative Teaching Programme (Wsitp) : Evaluation Report, Rod Mcdonald
Research outputs pre 2011
The Work Study Innovative Teaching Programme (WSITP) was introduced in 1977. This followed the submission of a research proposal to the Assistant Vice Principal (Research Planning and Development) of Churchlands College by a group of interested staff, and the subsequent approval by the College that the programme be offered on a pilot basis for one year.
To quote from the original proposal: "WSITP will use a continuous practice-teaching experience as a means of helping students to become teachers rather than just lecturing about teaching. The WSITP will be designed to assist students in their exploration and discovery of personal meanings …

Moora: Aboriginal Children In A Wheatbelt Town, Lois Tilbrook
Research outputs pre 2011
Moora town was established in 1875, when the railway from Midland Junction to Walkaway was built. There had always been Aborigines in the surrounding districts, and as land was taken up for farming, a number of them were employed as farmhands and domestics.
The town is the regional centre for the North Midlands, a subdivision of the Northern Agricultural Statistical Division of Western Australia. As such, it was developed to service the agricultural hinterland. The Northern Agricultural Statistical Division has a total population of 42,804 people (23,044 males and 19,766 females) of whom 1,828 or 4.6% are Aboriginal (1,003 males …

Submission To The Partridge Committee Of Inquiry Into The Future Needs Of Post-Secondary Education By Mount Lawley Teachers College, April 1975, Mount Lawley Teachers College
Research outputs pre 2011
In the short time available it has been impossible to prepare this submission in anything but general terms. However, the aim has been to comment on four major aspects of the development of tertiary institutions in this State:
PLANNING
1.1 restructuring of the bodies co-ordinating tertiary education
1.2 co-ordinated development of overlapping areas of technical, further and tertiary education
1.3 community college and open-learning operation of tertiary institutions for greater benefit of local communities
1.4 accountability of institutions of advanced education in terms of vocational supply and demand and community benefit proportional to public funds invested in such institutions.

The Practicum: Present And Future : Report On The National Conference On Teacher Education, Perth, Western Australia, 18-22 August 1975, Mount Lawley College Of Advanced Education
Research outputs pre 2011
In Western Australia concern had been expressed among those involved in the professional preparation of teachers that there was a tendency to de-emphasize the practical components of courses in favour of the more theoretical academic disciplines.
There was a view expressed, perhaps rather parachially, that Western Australia, disadvantaged by distance for on-going communication between institutions, also appeared to be used very sparingly as a venue for conferences on education.
With this in mind College staff, early in 1974, decided to explore the possibility of mounting a national conference in Perth with the practicum of teacher education as its theme. A …

A Submission For The Award Of An Associate Diploma In Health Education, Claremont Teachers College
A Submission For The Award Of An Associate Diploma In Health Education, Claremont Teachers College
Research outputs pre 2011
Health education is a process which effects changes in the health practices of people and in the knowledge and attitudes related to such changes. Education is an internal process for the individual concerned. He educates himself, even though his education is assisted by such means as contacts with health workers, appeals directed to him, information made available, clarification of issues, alternatives, and consequences as a basis for a rational choice. Education thus places responsibility on the individual and is essentially different from a compliance approach. It involves motivation, communication and decision-making. Planned education must take into account the relevant knowledge …

Broggies On The Playground : Some Approaches To Creative Writing, Churchlands Teachers College
Research outputs pre 2011
This is the second booklet of children's writing - and some approaches to teaching it - to be produced by this College. Once again all the writing comes from children at the Churchlands Primary School and the lessons were taken by members of an elective group.
There are examples of work from grades four to seven.
The length of each teaching period was only half an hour so there was little opportunity for students to re-write and improve on their first efforts. However, that particular insight which seems to be the prerogative of children is evident to some extent in …

Survey Of Education Of Aboriginal Children In Selected Western Australian Schools : (Preliminary Survey), C. Makin, D. Ibbotson
Research outputs pre 2011
Information was sought late in 1972 about problems encountered by teachers in schools with a fairly high proportion of Aboriginal children. For this purpose a questionnaire was designed to elicit information about the school situation, the surrounding community, enrolment, age and experience of the teaching staff and actual pedagogical problems encountered and methods of dealing with them. Another principle aim was to ascertain the extent to which the curiculum had been adapted to local situations and to determine what implications this might have for pre-service and in-service training.

Social Science Source Book, Colin J. Marsh
Research outputs pre 2011
During 1970, first year students at Mount Lawley Teachers' College undertook a course entitled.An Introduction to the Social Sciences. Courses in Social Science and Social Studies are not new, having been tried with varying degrees of success in other states of Australia and in overseas countries. However, in the course at this college, a multidiscipline approach has been planned, with Metropolitan Perth as the focal point of the study.
Too often, students enter a teachers' college with a 'wad' of factual knowledge about History or Economics or Geography. In the hustle and bustle of preparing for external examinations, they have …
