The Developmental Activities Project was created to help K-2 teachers implement a hands-on, individualized approach to teaching math/science that is based on the research (primarily that of Piaget) on how children's thinking develops.
Readiness For Reading Readiness, Beverly B. Swanson
Readiness For Reading Readiness, Beverly B. Swanson
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
A child entering school is confronted with the truly immense task of learning how to read. Though more research has been done in this area of education than most others, how a child goes about acquiring the skill of reading is still basically unknown.

Philosophy A Frill?, L. Stott
Philosophy A Frill?, L. Stott
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Because philosophy of education courses are viewed by mlny as being impractical, an academic frill, they are vulnerable to elimination from teacher preparation programs as faculties of education struggle with current fiscal pressures. Philosophy of education courses, as I conceive them, deal with the question of overriding aims, and consequent key features, of education. Such courses are indeed impractical along many dimensions. However, the sense in which they are practical is of such overwhelming import to the welfare of the school system as to reduce to triviality the senses in which they are not. Intelligent student teachers insist on questioning …

The First Year Of Teaching : A Grounded Theory - Part 1, David Battersby
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
This is the first of two papers detailing the findings from a tecent New Zealand study of the socialisation and induction of primary school teachers during their first year of teaching. Background information about this study and the methodology used, as well as a discussion of four of the seven major categories of data to emerge from the study, will constitute the basis of the present article. In the second paper, the final three categories of data will be discussed, along with the practical application the findings have for a wide range of personnel connected with the training and professional …
Supervising Student Teachers : A Shared Responsibility, C. H. Laine, S. A. Tanveer
Supervising Student Teachers : A Shared Responsibility, C. H. Laine, S. A. Tanveer
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Preparing a quality future teacher is a pressing concern of teacher education institutions, school systems, and state departments of education. It is almost impossible to train effective teachers unless these educational agencies share their responsibilities in the total teacher preparation process. This is becoming a greater reality as each agency recognises its identifiable and distinct role. Student teaching is an important component of teacher preparation and is frequently taken for granted. This internship plays a significant role in the making of a teacher who has acquired confidence in short- and long-range planning, communication and classroom management. This can be done …
The Attitudes And Values Of Melbourne Adolescents Towards Schooling And The Future, Millicent E. Poole
The Attitudes And Values Of Melbourne Adolescents Towards Schooling And The Future, Millicent E. Poole
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
It has been long evident in the research literature that students in different countries hold quite different views about school and about learning at school (e.g. Husen, 1967; King, Moor & Mundy, 1974). Likewise, their value orientations towards life in general, as well as towards school in particular, vary (e.g. Jackson, 1968; Robinson, 1973; Himmelweit and Swift, 1969). Only recently, however, have such issues been widely researched in Australia (e.g. Anderson, 1978; Batten & Girling-Butcher, 1981). The present study explored the emerging views and perspectives of adolescent views and perspectives concerning schooling and life generally. Attitudes towards the curriculum were …
The Personal Construction Of Teaching And Mathematics Teacher Education, J. W. Mcqualter, W. G. Warren
The Personal Construction Of Teaching And Mathematics Teacher Education, J. W. Mcqualter, W. G. Warren
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
With the expansion of schooling in the 1950s and 1960s there was a consequent flurry of curriculum activity. More pupils stayed longer at school and schools had to cater for a wider range of abilities and interests. New curricula were developed, old curricula revised to provide educational programmes for the changing clientele, and many curriculum projects initiated, covering all aspects of schooling. By the 1970s these curriculum projects had been evaluated and the evaluations provided new insights into the whole curriculum process. One insight of particular interest concerned the role of the teacher. What the teacher did in the classroom …
Computers In Undergraduate Teacher Education Programs, Neil Hall
Computers In Undergraduate Teacher Education Programs, Neil Hall
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Clearly, there are many issues that need consideration when one seeks to analyse the role of computers in education. For example, how might computers best support the teaching/learning process given what we know about learning and teaching; what effects will computer technology have on school curriculum; how will presently employed teachers come to grips with this technological change; is all this talk about computer technology and the impact on education relevant anyway - is it more than a fad? In this paper I want to discusss the curriculum implications of computer technology for the infants and primary school. In particular …
Teacher Education Needs Teachers : But Can The Supply Be Planned?, H. Sungaila
Teacher Education Needs Teachers : But Can The Supply Be Planned?, H. Sungaila
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
On the face of it planning the supply of teachers for Australian schools by estimating the supply of, and demand for, primary and secondary teachers in Government and non-Government schools seems eminently rational. With inflation curbing public spending, with political support for public spending on education eroding, with a consequent tightening of educational budgets, and a new austerity demanding that there be no surpluses - that nothmg more be produced than what is required for the purposes in hand - what more needs to be said? If educational plannmg is ratonal, and, in particular, if it is rational that forecasts …

Educational Research - Two Paradigms : Two Epistemologies, Alan Cumming, Tom Moore
Educational Research - Two Paradigms : Two Epistemologies, Alan Cumming, Tom Moore
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Put simply, educational research is the systematic study of educational problems and practices. Its basic purposes would at least be seen to cover such things as evaluating new and existing policies, programmes, curricula and practices; strengthening the information base underlying educational planning, the formulation of educational policy and the design of educational programmes; increasing the problem solving capacity of education systems, institutions and teachers; increasing knowledge and understanding of educational problems and processes; and raising questions concerning assumptions and identifying weaknesses. Research into these problems and practices has commonly been designed and structured so as to lay claim to 'scientific' …
The Role And Influence Of Teachers In Relation To Student Decision Making Regarding Jobs And Careers, P. P. Lynch, W. Ramsay
The Role And Influence Of Teachers In Relation To Student Decision Making Regarding Jobs And Careers, P. P. Lynch, W. Ramsay
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Secondary schools in most parts of Australia now conduct work experience programmes which provide for student participation in normal conditions of work. Generally, work experience is now embedded within what is termed a 'Transition Education' programme, and usually includes elements of social studies, skills associated with job acquisition, and components designed to prepare the student for transition from school to work

The First Year Of Teaching : A Grounded Theory - Part 2, David Battersby
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
This is the second of two articles to focus on the findings from a study of the socialisation and induction of a sample of New Zealand primary school teachers. In the first paper, background information about the study was presented and categories of data on Pupil-teacher Influences, Parent-teacher Interaction, the Role of the Principal, and Guidance from Senior Teacher were discussed. These four categories of data, along with the three to be detailed below constitute a 'grounded theory' about the socialisation and induction of primary school teachers. The practical applications this theory has for those concerned with beginning teachers will …
Toward A Concise Definition And Perspective For Biology, Arthur V. Brown, Kristine Basinger Brown
Toward A Concise Definition And Perspective For Biology, Arthur V. Brown, Kristine Basinger Brown
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
The content of introductory biology courses at the high school and college levels are currently being re-examined. Many biological educators favor revision of the high school biology courses to a format that directly addresses current social issues to "promote good citizenship". We believe it would be more meaningful to teach the fundamental principles of biology, the study of living systems. Properly defining biology, by defining a living system, should help identify important topics to include in a basic biology course. Emphasis should be placed on subjects which would contribute most to the development of a basic understanding of how all …

Learning Phonics Naturally: A Model For Instruction, Barbara Johnson, Linda Lehnert
Learning Phonics Naturally: A Model For Instruction, Barbara Johnson, Linda Lehnert
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
While many teachers incorporate specific phonic methods, they often find the same recurring problem-children have difficulties applying phonics while reading text. The primary purpose of this article is to provide teachers an understanding of primary children's abilities, inabilities, and requirements to use phonics as a beginning reading strategy and to suggest a model that facilitates children's application of phonics while reading.

Ssr, Accountability And Effective Reading Instruction, Mark C. Sadoski
Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts
Recently, SSR has amassed a research base which strongly suggests that it is of significant value in promoting reading achievement when combined with a regular program of reading instruction and that it has a positive effect on student reading attitudes and habits (Moore, Jones & Miller, 1980; Sadoski, 1980). SSR may also be a reading activity that has more points of contact with successful educational outcomes in reading than perhaps any other single reading activity.

Explorations In Early Childhood Education / Braithwaite, J., Acer, 1983., Joy Cullen
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The Mt Druitt Early Childhood Project was established in 1975 to provide early childhood programmes for disadvantaged children living in Government housing estates in an outer suburb of Sydney. This book by the project's field director, John Braithwaite of Macquarie University, records the development, implementation, and evaluation of the five programmes in the project. The programmes comprised four centre-based preschools (Cognitive, Contemporary, Competency, Behaviourist) which were subsequently extended into the kindergarten and Year One classes in the schools with which they were associated, and a home-based programme. This programme was designed to help mothers provide appropriate educational experiences for their …
