Gender Differences In Computer And Information Literacy: An In-Depth Analysis Of Data From Icils, Eveline Gebhardt, Sue Thomson, John Ainley, Kylie Hillman

This open access book presents a systematic investigation into internationally comparable data gathered in ICILS 2013. It identifies differences in female and male students’ use of, perceptions about, and proficiency in using computer technologies. Teachers’ use of computers, and their perceptions regarding the benefits of computer use in education, are also analyzed by gender. When computer technology was first introduced in schools, there was a prevailing belief that information and communication technologies were ‘boys’ toys’; boys were assumed to have more positive attitudes toward using computer technologies. As computer technologies have become more established throughout societies, gender gaps in students’ …
Pisa Australia In Focus Number 2: Educational Expectations, Kylie Hillman
Pisa Australia In Focus Number 2: Educational Expectations, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
PISA has established a profile of what 15-year-old students can do and what they are like as learners. Gaining an understanding about other aspects, including what they want to do in the future is another important goal of PISA. This report seeks to explore how students’ expectations for further education are measured in PISA 2015. It addresses educational expectations across countries and across Australian jurisdictions, as well as educational expectations for different demographic groups in Australia. It also considers changes in educational expectations for Australian students over time, and for different demographic groups in Australia.

Snapshots Issue 5: Bullying In Australian Schools, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
An essential part of a positive school climate that is supportive of student engagement and learning is how safe students feel when at school. In previous editions of the Snapshots series we have reported on the relationship between school disadvantage, student discipline and safety, and student achievement. In this edition, we explore bullying behaviours in Australian schools in greater detail through data collected as part of TIMSS and PIRLS 2011.

Movement Of Non-Metropolitan Youth Towards The Cities, Kylie Hillman, Sheldon Rothman
Kylie Hillman
This report focuses on a group of young people who were living in non-metropolitan areas in their final years of secondary school, and the pathways they followed in the years following secondary school, including their geographic mobility and participation in education, training and employment. Rural communities have long felt concern about the rate at which young people leave for urban areas, many never to return. This report analyses the issues involved by mapping the experiences of the same group of young people over an extended period of time. The authors investigate what pathways non-metropolitan youth follow in the years after …

Reading and numeracy tests were administered to students in their schools to provide information on school achievement for use in later analyses of educational and labour market participation. Students also completed a background questionnaire about their educational and vocational plans and attitudes to school. In 1996, these students …

School Careers Advice Well Received By Students, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
An ACER study of young Australians’ perceptions of the career advice received in secondary school has found that almost all students accessed career advice between Years 10 and 12 and believed the information provided met their individual needs. Previous research in the Longitudinal Surveys of Australian Youth (LSAY) has stressed the importance of providing students with quality careers advice during their secondary school years to help ensure that they make informed decisions about course choices and the impact poor choices can sometimes have on future career prospects. This latest LSAY study, published in October 2008, found that the vast majority …

The Emotional Wellbeing Of Young People : School, Further Study, Work And Beyond, Julie Mcmillan, Kylie Hillman
Kylie Hillman
Educational and labour market pathways in the early post-school years are becoming increasingly diverse. A pertinent issue for those working with young people is how young people now navigate the transition from secondary school into post-school education, training and employment, and the impact of the different paths followed on their emotional wellbeing. This paper has two aims: to describe the cross-sectional relationship between emotional wellbeing and participation in a range of post-school education, training and labour market activities; and, to assess whether movement between activities in the early post-school years is associated with changes in emotional wellbeing.
