Attitude Change In Response To An In-Service Teacher Education Programme, E. P. Otto, I. S. Gasson
Attitude Change In Response To An In-Service Teacher Education Programme, E. P. Otto, I. S. Gasson
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
"How can I tell how successful this course has been?" is becoming an increasingly common question in tertiary education. This interest in tertiary teaching and learning is reflected in the fact that one-half of all Australian universities now have tertiary teaching units. There are a number of reasons why evaluation is important. Firstly, discrepancies between the actual and the ideal situation can be detected, causes identified and corrective measures instituted at all stages of the evaluative model, to serve the interests of increased efficiency and improved staff and student satisfaction. Secondly, courses which are continually being evaluated are better able …

Expectation Of Gifted Children In The Primary-Secondary Transition., M. E. Poole, A. J. Williams
Expectation Of Gifted Children In The Primary-Secondary Transition., M. E. Poole, A. J. Williams
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Despite the comprehensiveness of the creativity literature, there are few studies that deal directly with the perceptions of creative children in their everyday concerns. Increasingly, however, educators are turning to ethnomethodology as providing wider and more appropriate knowledge for their purposes.
The Reorganisation Of Teacher Education In The U.K. And Ontario : Implications For Australia, E. Nowotny
The Reorganisation Of Teacher Education In The U.K. And Ontario : Implications For Australia, E. Nowotny
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
I visited the U.K. and Ontario in late September and October 1976 to study the reorganization of teacher education which was taking place as a response to a sharp decline in the demand for teachers consequent on a falling birth-rate and a deteriorating economic situation. The main advantage of the study was that it provided a perspective in which the current situation in Australia (and specifically in W.A.) in regard to an 'over-supply' of teacher education trainees could be more objectively evaluated in a context of common problems. The fact that the problems, particularly in England, are more urgent, complex, …
Value Systems Of Prospective Teachers, M. W. Boyce
Value Systems Of Prospective Teachers, M. W. Boyce
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The teacher in the primary school classroom provides for the children in her care a variety of experiences in number, in the language arts, and in all the other concomitants of the formal curriculum of the school. But she also provides other experiences: a set of socializing experiences arising from her behaviour in the classroom. This includes the types of interpersonal relationships she has with the children, the demands she makes, the expectations she has of individuals and groups and the priorities she sets. In this context an examination of factors lying behind the behaviours the teacher exhibits in the …
English Literature As A Liberal Study In Primary Teachers' Colleges., D. M. Murison
English Literature As A Liberal Study In Primary Teachers' Colleges., D. M. Murison
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In 1972, in a survey of literature teaching in Victorian primary teachers' colleges, all but one had a year of compulsory adult literature. At the time, most English lecturers considered this to be essential. However, now much has changed, and literature lecturers, faced with offering courses which are no longer compulsory, have thought again.
Is Curriculum Integration Like Miscegenation?, John H. Chambers
Is Curriculum Integration Like Miscegenation?, John H. Chambers
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In this article I want to ask and to try to answer the question, 'In the organization of the school curriculum, what do the words 'integration' and 'inter-disciplinary' mean?' and to examine certain fundamental epistemological issues in doing so.

Two Studies On The Effect Of Audio-Tape Structure On The Immediate Recall Of Factual Information, A. J. Palumbo, N. Bozzer
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The last decade of educational research has witnessed an expansion of interest in the technology of education (Gage, 1963; Travers, 1973). This proliferation of research, however, was bothered by a continued confusion between the mechanics of the technology and the design rules for the process of education. The needed distinction between the instruments of instruction and the application of instructional processes was made clear recently by Armsey and Dahl (1974). Nevertheless, the confusion continues, particularly in the kind of research that is being conducted.
Education For A Multi-Cultural Society, Millicent E. Poole
Education For A Multi-Cultural Society, Millicent E. Poole
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
I explore three avenues in this paper. The fIrst relates to Australian society generally. Is Australia a multi-cultural society and do Australians subscribe to education for a multi-cultural society as a priority goal in education? Secondly, if this goal is accepted, what are the educational Implications for a multi-cultural society? Thirdly, what strategies might educators use to bring about this goal?
The Education Power In Canada, Harry C. Phillips
The Education Power In Canada, Harry C. Phillips
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In an influential book entitled Federal Government, Professor K.C. Wheare observed that in countries satisfying in practice his understanding of the federal principle, namely the United States of America, Switzerland, Canada and Australia, education was a matter substantially in the hands of regional (state, canton, provincial) governments. The federal principle was defined (Wheare, 1967[ p.10) as "the method of dividing powers so that the general and regional governments are each within a sphere co-ordinate and independent". After the federal bargain (Riker, 1964, P.11) has been negotiated, powers are sacrificed to the central organ but the contract.ing political entities are granted …
