Within the total research endeavour the report concentrates on research concerned with Australian schools and schooling. The report developed an analytical framework drawn from the literature concerned with knowledge utilisation. The report has provided the most comprehensive mapping yet undertaken of the educational research that was underway in Australia in …
School Governance : Research On Educational And Management Issues, John Ainley, Phil Mckenzie
School Governance : Research On Educational And Management Issues, John Ainley, Phil Mckenzie
Dr John Ainley
In a number of countries the past 20 years have seen increases decentralisation of authority for a range of decisions to individual schools. A range of arguments has been advanced in support of decentralisation but a common belief is that shifting authority to schools will enhance the quality, effectiveness and responsiveness of public education. This paper argues decentralisation is not a unitary concept and can be applied to different elements of the teaching and learning environment: curriculum organisation, financial management, personnel management and resource allocation. Research that has investigated the impact of decentralisation itself on student learning outcomes has not …

At the beginning of 2000 the principal and staff of St Catherine's, Moorabbin, Victoria, instituted an additional assistance mathematics program within their school to support those children identified as being at risk in the early years. Children in Grade 1 and Grade 2 were the focus for withdrawal and support and were offered three sessions a week withdrawal and some whole class skills activity sessions for the year. Classroom needs was the focus for Grade 3 and children who were specifically targeted in relation to place value and the laws of mathematics received one session per week withdrawal for two …

Dr Gerald K. White
The advent of the Internet and the use of the World Wide Web (www) have changed the ways people and organizations disseminate information, broadened the means by which industries worldwide deliver services and, in so doing, shortened the distance between members of the global community. These developments have also provided implications and opportunities for the establishment and maintenance of mutually beneficial online alliances worldwide. EdNA Online - an online manifestation of the networked education community in Australia (hence the acronym EdNA for Education Network Australia) - plans to be in a position to capitalise on these national and international strategic …

Dr Phillip McKenzie
This paper discusses the main analytical techniques used in "Mapping Educational Research and Its Impact on Schools." The study considered the impact of the outcomes of educational research on the practice of teaching and learning in Australian schools and on educational policy and administration. Mixed methods were used, beginning with a review of the literature and the exploration of the Australian Education Index (AEI) educational research database. Documents were collected from faculties of education in Australia, and questionnaires about the use of educational literature were developed for postgraduate students (n=1,267), school principals (n=73), and representatives of 72 professional associations. Interviews …
Using Longitudinal Data For Research On Vet, Phil Mckenzie
Using Longitudinal Data For Research On Vet, Phil Mckenzie
Dr Phillip McKenzie
Longitudinal studies can provide insights on young people's transition from education to work that other forms of data cannot. The Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) program, which is managed jointly by the Australian Council for Educational Research and the Commonwealth Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA), has now accumulated more than 20 years of data that follow successive cohorts of young Australians as they move through education and training and into the labour market. The data are added to every year. This paper explores the potential of LSAY data for research on VET, and also some of …

Measurement Of The Socio-Economic Status Of Australian Higher Education Students, Julie Mcmillan, John Western
Measurement Of The Socio-Economic Status Of Australian Higher Education Students, Julie Mcmillan, John Western
Julie McMillan
The underrepresentation of persons from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds in higher education in countries such as Australia is of policy concern. In order to be able to identify such individuals for targeted interventions and to monitor their participation rates, it is necessary to have an accurate, simple to administer, and relatively inexpensive method of measuring students' socio-economic characteristics. We demonstrate that the postcode methodology currently used by the Australian Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) for monitoring purposes, while being relatively simple and inexpensive to administer, is subject to considerable error. A student is allocated the `average' socio-economic status …

The Anu3_2 Scale: A Revised Occupational Status Scale For Australia, F Jones, Julie Mcmillan
The Anu3_2 Scale: A Revised Occupational Status Scale For Australia, F Jones, Julie Mcmillan
Julie McMillan
Australian researchers have used ANU status scales for over two decades to assign socioeconomic status scores to occupations coded into the occupational classifications produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). When the ABS has released new occupational classifications in the past, the ANU scale has been updated accordingly. The most recent status scale, the ANU3 scale, was developed in 1989 for use with the First Edition of the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO). In 1996, however, the ABS released the Second Edition of ASCO. In this paper, we report an adaptation of the ANU3 scale for use with …

The Teacher Belief Inventory: Measuring The Theoretical And Practical Orientations Of Preservice Teachers (2nd Author With Kathryn Nottis, Joseph Murray, And Don Adams), Abe Feuerstein
Abe Feuerstein
Most teacher education programs purport to have either a theoretical or practical orientation, or a combination of both. For example, some conceptions of teacher preparation view the road from novice to expert as a process of progressive problem solving (Scardamalia & Bereiter, 1989). Educators who hold this view believe that effective teachers are those who continuously strive to resolve classroom problems by applying a systematic approach of hypothesis generation, empirical testing, and adjustment. Other programs focus more on a practical approach to teaching involving the study of instructional techniques appropriate for various situations encountered by most teachers (Joyce & Weil, …

A New Approach To Optimization Under Monotonic Constraint, H Tuy, Luc Le
Dr Luc Tu Le
A new efficient branch and bound method is proposed for solving convex programs with an additional monotonic nonconvex constraint. Computational experiments demonstrated that this method is quite practical for solving rank k reverse convex programs with much higher values of k than previously considered in the literature and can be applied to a wider class of nonconvex problems.

New Skills For A New Economy: Adult Education's Key Role In Sustainin Economic Growth And Expanding Opportunity, John Comings, Andrew Sum, Johan Uvin
John P. Comings
The role of adult education in sustaining economic growth and expanding opportunity in Massachusetts was explored. The analysis focused on the new basic skills needed for a new economy, groups lacking the new basic skills, the demand for adult basic education (ABE), funding for ABE, building basic skills through adult education, ABE's costs and benefits, and moving toward an integrated job training and ABE system. The following major challenges to building workers' skills were identified: (1) a language challenge; (2) an education credential challenge; and (3) a new literacy challenge. The following were among the recommendations offered for overcoming these …
School Characteristics And Parental Involvement: Factors That Influence Parental Participation In Their Children’S Schools, Abe Feuerstein
School Characteristics And Parental Involvement: Factors That Influence Parental Participation In Their Children’S Schools, Abe Feuerstein
Abe Feuerstein
Several school-level variables thought to influence the degree to which parents are involved in their children's education were explored. The author sought to clarify, both theoretically and empirically, the meaning of parent involvement. Also, several statistical regression models were developed on the basis of school characteristics. The models help to explain the variance in 9 categories of parent involvement. The results of this study indicate that many forms of parent involvement, such as the structure that parents create for students in the home environment, are not easily influenced by school-level variables. However, several forms of parent involvement, including parent volunteerism …

Viral Shedding And Biodistribution Of G207, A Multimutated, Conditionally Replicating Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1, After Intracerebral Inoculation In Aotus, T. Todo, F. Feigenbaum, S. Rabkin, F. Lakeman, J. Newsome, P. Johnson, E. Mitchell, Daniel Belliveau, J. Ostrove, R. Martuza
Daniel J. Belliveau
G207 is a multimutated, conditionally replicating herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) that is currently in clinical trial for patients with malignant glioma. G207 exhibits an efficient oncolytic activity in tumor cells, yet minimal toxicity in normal tissue when injected into the brains of HSV-susceptible mice or nonhuman primates. In this study, we evaluated the shedding and biodistribution of clinical-grade G207 after intracerebral inoculation (3 × 107 pfu) in four New World owl monkeys (Aotus nancymae). Using PCR analyses and viral cultures, neither infectious virus nor viral DNA was detected from tear, saliva, or vaginal secretion samples at any time …
