A Framework For Leading School Change In Using Ict, Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson, Sue Trinidad
A Framework For Leading School Change In Using Ict, Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson, Sue Trinidad
Barnard Clarkson
Over the last three decades many models explain the processes involved in the adoption and use of ICT in education. Based on this literature, a three-tiered framework and associated instruments were developed to use with Western Australian teachers to measure and support change in using ICT. This framework can be used to support, describe and promote good practice in the use of ICT in learning and teaching in schools and is multi- faceted and flexible enough to be used by individuals, groups, schools or educational organizations. The aims and purposes of the framework were to describe quality pedagogy in the …

Creating Contexts For Learning With Ict In Schools., Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson

As schools increase their use of Information and Communications Technologies (JCT) to support teaching and learning, critical analysis is needed on how the technologies are applied to the curriculum. This chapter outlines the development and implementation of a key dimension of a comprehensive framework designed to describe, evaluate and promote the effective use of JCT by students in schools. This 'Learning Environment Attributes' dimension of the framework was developed from a review of the literature to determine the attributes of learning environments that were likely to be enhanced by appropriate use of ICT by students. A rubric – based tool …

Shared Assessment: A Strategy For Managing Multidisciplinary Projects, Barnard Clarkson, Joo Jung, Martin Masek
Shared Assessment: A Strategy For Managing Multidisciplinary Projects, Barnard Clarkson, Joo Jung, Martin Masek

Assessment-centered is the new black, apparently, if you believe recent research literature (eg. Boud & Associates, 2010) – but multi-disciplinary student assessments in multimedia are already challenging to assess. Naturally the more complex the project the more challenging it is for those administering the assessments, and in multi-unit settings (rather than end-of-course ‘capstone’ units) the complexity can be extreme. The consequential staff overload is insufficiently addressed even if the results are worth it. Shared assessments start with one large situated project and ask multiple staff running multiple units to collaborate whilst designing their assessments, all based around student teams ‘solving’ …
Thinking Outside The"I Am The User" Box: A Trial Of Social-Emotional Design In Hci Education, Jo Jung, Barnard Clarkson, Martin Masek
Thinking Outside The"I Am The User" Box: A Trial Of Social-Emotional Design In Hci Education, Jo Jung, Barnard Clarkson, Martin Masek

A socio-emotional approach to consider human-computer interaction (HCI) has emerged as a discipline responding to much neglected aspect of interaction design: the social nature and emotions of users. Teaching a socio-emotional design in practice can be challenging due to the newness and multidisciplinary nature. This paper reports a trial of a collaborative socio-emotional design project shared by two faculties and three design disciplines–interface design, software design, and 3D design. Success and challenges encountered during the project are presented to share our experience of teaching and managing a multidisciplinary collaboration project.

Teachers, Teams And Technology: Investigating A Team Approach For Supporting Teachers' Uptake Of Ict, Barnard D. Clarkson
Teachers, Teams And Technology: Investigating A Team Approach For Supporting Teachers' Uptake Of Ict, Barnard D. Clarkson
Barnard Clarkson
This study sought to explore the professional development of elementary school teachers who were keen to use Information and Communications (ICT) in their teaching and learning. The main object of the study was to investigate a model of professional development that would support teachers as they adopted ICT. At the same time a simple framework to help locate teachers on some typology of ICT uptake was desirable, on the grounds that such a typology could help teachers, professional development planners and schools in their use of and support for ICT and its associated professional development.A review of the literature suggests …

Managing Multidisciplinary Student Design Teams, Martin Masek, Joo Jung, Barnard Clarkson

The management of multidisciplinary student teams is a challenge. In this paper we describe our experience in running a shared assessment across several units. Four multidisciplinary teams were formed, and success was mixed, with one team splitting into two along discipline lines and all experiencing communication issues. The main management challenges that arose were based around difficulty in communication and the understanding of the other disciplines requirements. We outline the process we used to construct the shared assessment, and provide some insight in how the student groups dealt with issues that arose.
Using Learning Environment Attributes To Evaluate The Impact Of Ict On Learning In Schools, Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson
Using Learning Environment Attributes To Evaluate The Impact Of Ict On Learning In Schools, Christopher Newhouse, Barnard Clarkson
Barnard Clarkson
Research on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) use in schools is increasingly finding that the impact on learning outcomes is not directly causal but depends on how the technologies are used within learning environments. This paper presents one key dimension, the ‘Learning Environment Attributes’ dimension, of a complete literature-based framework — the ‘New ICT Supporting Schooling’ (NISS) framework — designed to provide systematic rich guidance for teachers and school leaders in deciding how to facilitate ICT use. A substantial trial showed that this theory-building stage has produced an effective rubric-based tool to facilitate the measurement of this dimension. Indications are …
