Parental Influences On Children’S Learning And Wellbeing At Home, Robert Simons
Parental Influences On Children’S Learning And Wellbeing At Home, Robert Simons
Dr Robert Simons
ACER's 2012-2014 evaluation of the Commonwealth Empowering Local Schools (ELS) initiative about increasing capacity and scope for 900 plus schools from all sectors to make decisions locally shows how some schools give parents more opportunities to engage in their children's learning at home through: (1) de-privatised classrooms; and (2) "flipping classrooms". The former gives parents online access to how teachers construct lesson plans. The latter enables teachers to segment lesson plans between home and school and parents to participate actively in their children's learning at home. The paper situates these findings between prior research into the impact of parental support …

Second Interim Report Of Nab Schools First Evaluation Of The 2010 Awards : Submitted To The National Australia Bank Group, Robert Simons
Second Interim Report Of Nab Schools First Evaluation Of The 2010 Awards : Submitted To The National Australia Bank Group, Robert Simons
Dr Robert Simons
The primary objective of the NAB Schools First Awards is to recognise social networks that already exist between schools and communities and to encourage both the strengthening of these and the building of new linkages. This report looks at how effectively NAB Schools First has recognised and encouraged school and community partnerships. It also looks at how effectively a subset of 2009 NAB Schools First Award partnerships can demonstrate improvements in partnership collaboration, sustainability, and effectiveness from 2010 to 2011. Also considered is the extent to which the NAB Schools First judging process ‘raised the bar’ on applications for Awards …

Psychologist Hand-Scoring Error Rates On The Rothwell - Miller Interest Blank : A Comparison Of Three Job Allocation Systems, R Goddard, Robert Simons, W Patton, K Sullivan
Psychologist Hand-Scoring Error Rates On The Rothwell - Miller Interest Blank : A Comparison Of Three Job Allocation Systems, R Goddard, Robert Simons, W Patton, K Sullivan
Dr Robert Simons
Hand-scoring errors are known to occur on a range of psychological tests. The present study conducts an investigation into the existence of scoring errors by 27 professional occupational psychologists using the Rothwell - Miller Interest Blank (RMIB). Building on investigations into the impact of work allocation practices on work quality in other professions, the present study explored whether psychologist scoring error rates differed between three work allocation systems. Data from 1175 completed RMIB survey forms indicated that error rates for the three systems ranged from 5 to 16.3 per cent, with the self-managed work allocation system resulting in the lowest …
The Vocational Interests Of 'White Collar' Workers Experiencing Unemployment After Compulsory Redundancy, Robert Simons, R Goddard, W Patton
The Vocational Interests Of 'White Collar' Workers Experiencing Unemployment After Compulsory Redundancy, Robert Simons, R Goddard, W Patton
Dr Robert Simons
This study investigated the interests and factor structure of the Vocational Interest Survey for Australia (VISA) in a sample of 344 white collar workers who had been unemployed for more than six months after being made redundant. This study replicated earlier findings that while unemployed individuals appear to respond with different mean interest levels on the VISA compared with the instrument's normative sample of secondary students, respondents appear to confirm a consistent underlying factor structure. The factor analyses, particularly the higher order factor analysis, suggest that a two-factor solution of the VISA data may be the most appropriate solution for …
