The Role Of Ict In The Pedagogical Transformation Of Primary Teachers: Dream, Aspiration, Reality, Frank G. Bate
Education Conference Papers
This paper discusses findings from a recent longitudinal study that examined how 35 beginning teachers used information and communications technologies (ICT) in the first 3 years of their teaching. The research, set in Australia, adopted a mixed method approach to help understand the role that ICT played in the evolving pedagogical identities of the teachers involved. The study found that beginning teachers articulated pedagogical beliefs that aimed to engage their students in active meaning making. It also found that these teachers were competent in the use of a basic suite of ICT software. However, pedagogical beliefs that resonate with contemporary …

Tpack And The Real World: How Useful Is The Framework?, Frank G. Bate, Dorit Maor
Education Conference Papers
This paper describes a recent longitudinal study set in Australia which examined the extent to which early career teachers used information and communication technologies (ICT) in their classrooms. The study, which tracked 35 teachers through the first three years of their teaching, found a range of personal and socio-cultural factors that impacted on the extent to which ICT was used. In addressing personal factors such as teachers’ beliefs, knowledge and skills, the research drew upon the work of Mishra and Koehler (2006) to consider the inter-relationships between teachers’ technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK). The use of TPACK as an …

Sharing Learning Designs That Work., Leanne Cameron, Chris Campbell
Education Conference Papers
Sharing learning designs that have been previously trialled and proven successful is a means of disseminating innovation and best teaching practice whilst at the same time conserving teacher time and effort. Generic learning designs provide a lesson scaffold that can introduce innovative teaching strategies to lecturers without requiring them to become experts in learning design or theory. The LAMS Activity Planner is a tool that uses generic learning designs to provide comprehensive guidance for academics that will assist them in the development of inspiring learning design examples and supportive activities. In this paper, two learning design examples, WebQuests and Web …

Student Ministry: Preparing Young People As Leaders For The 21st Century, Chris Hackett, Shane D. Lavery
Education Conference Papers
Ministry with young people has never been more important. Ever-increasing local, national and global concerns demand that schools must do more than prepare young people as responsible citizens. They must prepare young people as emerging leaders with a civic conscience who proactively seek solutions to issues such as increased poverty, the plight of refugees, terrorism, climate change, and corporate greed. This article is about student ministry. Student ministry, as defined in this article, specifically aims to build leadership capacity in school students. In particular, the article attempts to highlight the distinctiveness of student ministry and those ways it promotes and …

Strategies For Hope And Sustainability, The Beginning Principal: Needs And Challenges, Debra Sayce, Shane D. Lavery
Education Conference Papers
Since the 1990s, educational leaders in developed countries have experienced significant change across all educational systems. To date, this momentum for rapid change has continued unabated. Political pressures on schools continue to increase as short term governments expect improvements in educational outcomes in shortened periods of time. Public expectations of performance by schools are intensifying. School effectiveness dominates professional discourse. Learning technologies have expanded. Family contexts have changed and the nature of the educational workforce is dictated by society s economic and social situation. Catholic school principals, in addition to coping with such issues, are also regarded as leaders within …
Managing Major Educational Change: Is The Cyclical Integration Model The Answer?, Richard G. Berlach
Managing Major Educational Change: Is The Cyclical Integration Model The Answer?, Richard G. Berlach
Education Conference Papers
Where minds meet, there lies the change vector. I have for a long time been fascinated by the way in which change, and specifically educational change, is managed. More often than not it seems, minds fail to meet in a crucial change-space. They either unwittingly zip past each other, deliberately avoid one another, or worse still, collide with excruciating force. This paper examines the interrelated role of government, the public service and teachers in successfully transitioning major change. It is argued that unless these bodies operate in synchrony, change negotiation is likely to be hampered. To this end, a model …

Understanding The Pedagogical World-View Of Clinical Teachers In Australia: An Evidence-Based Approach, Frank Bate, Carole Steketee
Education Conference Papers
The education of tomorrow’s medical workforce is critical to the sustenance of healthy and progressive communities, particularly in the context of an aging population. Ongoing professional development focusing on the processes underpinning teaching and learning are important for clinical teachers (typically practicing doctors and surgeons) who, as busy professionals, also shoulder much of the responsibility for passing medical knowledge from one generation to the next. This paper discusses a recent study which posed two core questions: What pedagogical principles do clinical teachers perceive as important in underpinning their role as educators? And How do these perceptions differ from those held …
