Mathematics And Science In Primary Teacher Education: The Design Of A Project To Encourage Review At The Institutional Level, John M. Owen, Ronald J. Welsh, Neville J. Johnson
Mathematics And Science In Primary Teacher Education: The Design Of A Project To Encourage Review At The Institutional Level, John M. Owen, Ronald J. Welsh, Neville J. Johnson
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Over the past two decades evaluation has been one of the growth industries in education. A major impetus for this development, particularly in the united States of America, has been the mandating of evaluations for major policy initiatives at federal and state levels (House, 1981). One result of such legislation has been that academics and private organisations have been engaged, often on long term assignments, to pass judgements on the worth of interventions designed to improve the quality of education made available in educational systems. Features of this approach to evaluation have been that they are large scale well funded, …
Problems In Teaching Philosophy Of Education, M. A. B. Degenhardt
Problems In Teaching Philosophy Of Education, M. A. B. Degenhardt
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Those of us who teach philosophy of education can hardly be happy with the present state of our subject. On many counts now the energetic optimism of a decade or two ago just seems misplaced. Of course there have been considerable achievements, but much is wrong and badly wrong. The abundance, diversity and quality of literature that marks a healthy discipline is not yet in evidence, educational leaders and top decision makers take little heed of philosophical counsel, eminent educational philosophers are questioning the place of theoretical disciplines in teacher education, declining members of philosophy of education societies seem to …
Preservice Classroom Experiences : The Cooperating Teacher's Role, Chester H. Laine, Sadar A. Tanveer
Preservice Classroom Experiences : The Cooperating Teacher's Role, Chester H. Laine, Sadar A. Tanveer
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
There was a time when we used to have student teaching as the only classroom experience for an individual who wanted to be a teacher. Such experiences were generally arranged during the last quarter or semester of the person's college: education In these situations, it was a matter of completing it whether one liked it or not. Following this pattern of teacher training we turned out many teachers for whom teaching may not have been a number one priority. Currently, practical school experiences are provided starting in the freshman year. State of Ohio 1980 guidelines require that preservice teachers complete …

Watson, Ian, (1985), Double Depression, Allen And Unwin, Sydney, Michael Harvey
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Sub-titled "Schooling, Unemployment and Family Life in the Eighties", this is an empirical study of how adolescents attempt to manage their personal career as they confront structured youth unemployment in Australia.

Jaques, David, Learning In Groups, Croom Helm, E. B. C. Thornton
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In the characteristic "open" situation of much British higher (tertiary) education the limitations of lectures are well appreciated and alternative modes of teaching Widely used. This book, by a Senior Lecturer in Communication Skills at the Hatfield Polytechnic is about one major alternative.
Exhibition Of The Mathematical 'Reversal Error' By Final-Year Secondary-Teacher Trainees, Martin Cooper
Exhibition Of The Mathematical 'Reversal Error' By Final-Year Secondary-Teacher Trainees, Martin Cooper
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
A mathematical error which involves the reversal of natural referents for symbols is displayed to a substantial degree by high school teachers and university staff among others. It has been shown, moreover, that the phenomenon is difficult to correct by teaching methods. In the present study, a sample of final-year pre-service Education students destined for secondary-school teaching was asked to write a short verbal statement giving the same information as a simple algebraic equation and to construct an equation corresponding to a simple statement printed in plain language. A substantial proportion of students displayed reversal in both equation-interpretation and equation-formation …
Foundation Studies And Multicultural Education: Implications For Tertiary Institutions, Rosa Madigan, John Madigan
Foundation Studies And Multicultural Education: Implications For Tertiary Institutions, Rosa Madigan, John Madigan
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
A review of the literature shows that most educators agree with two principles underlying most points of view with regard to multicultural education. These are: The right of children to identify with a particular culture within the broader context of Australian society, The need to educate all children not only towards a degree of tolerance and understanding of other cultures, but also to appreciate that it can be profitable to accommodate some of the points of view of other cultures.
Amalgamation From The Perspective Of College Council: The Case Of The Western Australian College Of Advanced Education, Paige Porter
Amalgamation From The Perspective Of College Council: The Case Of The Western Australian College Of Advanced Education, Paige Porter
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
When considering institutional amalgamations in tertiary education one is reminded of a typical subtitle in introductory anthropology texts: "Man The Problem Solver" (apologies to feminists). What the section usually goes on to discuss is how humans (supposedly unlike "lower" forms of life) use their intelligence to solve, in the first instance, the "problems" of nature, and at later stages the problems that result from human solutions to the problems of nature. Politically imposed tertiary amalgamation policy resembles nothing if not the creation of solutions guaranteed to create problems, the solution of which will create further problems and so on. There …
Theory Into Practice In A Sociology Of Education Course, David Battersby, Peter D. K. Ramsay
Theory Into Practice In A Sociology Of Education Course, David Battersby, Peter D. K. Ramsay
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
A prime criticism of teacher education is that it fails to prepare students for what lies ahead - namely, their life as a teacher. Indeed, Fuller and Brown (1975) go so far as to comment that teacher training may be orthogonal to the teacher. The major reason for this, it seems, is that college programmes and university courses do not appear to be relevant to student needs. This situation, according to many, is partly the fault of lecturers who may be out of touch with the reality of school life, and what it means to be a teacher in the …
What Happened To The National Review Of Teacher Education?, Lawrence Ingvarson
What Happened To The National Review Of Teacher Education?, Lawrence Ingvarson
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Inquiries and reviews of teacher education have occurred with remarkable regularity in Australia over recent years. What is also remarkable about these often major and expensive enterprises is how regularly their recommendations have been deflected or ignored.

Case Study Experience Of A Collaborative And Responsible Form Of Professional Development For Teachers, John Smyth, Colin Henry
Case Study Experience Of A Collaborative And Responsible Form Of Professional Development For Teachers, John Smyth, Colin Henry
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The argument in this paper is that teachers' interpretations and theories about what works in classrooms, can and should constitute the basis of change. Teachers have the capacity to engage in practical reflection through collaboration that enriches their sense of what is feasible and possible as well as transforming their understanding of those realities. Critical reflection, however, requires various forms of assistance, and in this case it occurred through the provision of a paradigm, the Cogan (1973)/Goldhammer (1969) notion of clinical supervision.
The Rhetoric And Reality Of Teacher Education: Towards A Praxis Model, John Smith
The Rhetoric And Reality Of Teacher Education: Towards A Praxis Model, John Smith
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The preparation of teachers has unfortunately been characterised by a distinction between the theory and practice of educating. Historical antecedents such as the justifiable move away from teacher training approaches have resulted in a de-emphasis of practice. The preparation of teachers has become an academic study at the expense of teaching experience. Current models of teacher preparation are, as a result, discipline oriented rather than practice-referenced. It is argued in this paper that there are some difficulties in operationalising such models; in fact, it is argued that the rhetoric sustaining such models is not at all a portrayal of the …
Lecturer Attitudes Towards Teacher Trainees In A New South Wales College - 1955 And 1985, W. O. Newman, M. D. Mackie
Lecturer Attitudes Towards Teacher Trainees In A New South Wales College - 1955 And 1985, W. O. Newman, M. D. Mackie
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
All who have worked in teacher education institutions for any length of time will know that significant changes have occurred in the way in which lecturers relate to their students and the sorts of behaviour which they expect from them. One hears lecturers speak of "the good old days", especially when irritated by some particularly liberal student behaviour or some seemingly cavalier student attitude, but it would be unusual to find someone who genuinely believes that the "old days" were better than the "new" . It occurred to us that it would be an interesting exercise to look at some …
Management, Organisations And Effectiveness: A Literature Review Of This Area With An Emphasis On Schools And Educational Institutions, Michael W. Small
Management, Organisations And Effectiveness: A Literature Review Of This Area With An Emphasis On Schools And Educational Institutions, Michael W. Small
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Identifying and measuring the concept of effectiveness in an organisational setting has been a major concern for many years. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some of the more recent research literature on the topic of organisational effectiveness, and to present some of the current ways that have been tried in an endeavour to measure this idea. Many researchers have tried to define what "organisational effectiveness" means, but while they have stated that they know "effectiveness" when they see it, they cannot really provide an adequate definition of the term. One of the difficulties, according to Cameron and …
An Exploratory, Cross-Cultural Study Of Sociopsychological Variables (Opi) Comparing Selective American, Canadian, Hawaiian And Philippine College Students In Education Faculties, David Whittaker
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
To the psychologist interested in cross-cultural studies and higher education in general, and college students more specifically, attitudes and belief systems can be seen as being fundamental in order to appreciate and understand any person, subculture or society. "Attitudes" denote the way in which people "feel" about aspects of the world in which they live, and "beliefs" the way they "think" about them. These terms are. of course, hypothetical constructs - as is "personality" under which they are subsumed. How such variables are defined, the theoretical traditions on which they are based, and the conceptualisations of personality which is adopted …

Organising And Integrating The First School Day / Joy Taylor, 1983, Unwin, London, Joy Jones
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
This new edition presents an easy to read, logical, step by step description of how an integrated programme can be introduced to children, not only in the Infant School, but also in the Lower Primary. It has been written, not from experience alone, but many of the ideas are supported by reference to recently puhlished research.
Research And Reconstruction In Teacher Education - Editorial Introduction, Tony Fielding
Research And Reconstruction In Teacher Education - Editorial Introduction, Tony Fielding
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In 1983 this Journal published a paper outlining a model of teacher development (Fielding, 1983). The model employed concepts drawn from personal Construct Psychology (Kelly, 1955). Kellyian concepts were chosen because it was thought they affirmed the model's basic assumption that human experience may be and frequently is both non-deterministic in character and non-functionalist in its outcomes for individuals.
Teacher Knowledge Part 1: Unstopping The Dam, J. W. Mcqualter
Teacher Knowledge Part 1: Unstopping The Dam, J. W. Mcqualter
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Research on teachers and their teaching aims at understanding what it means to teach. Such research is conducted in a variety of ways. Major users of its findings are teacher educators. It is hoped that the research findings will provide a knowledge base for teacher education programmes often characterised as being more whimsical than rational. There are two basic views of the process of becoming a teacher: "master the model" or "model the master" (Stones, 1972). Both views stress institutional conformity, draw upon institutionalised knowledge and aim at developing technical skill rather than professional competency. The intention of this paper …
Teacher Knowledge Part 2: Personal Construct Theory As The Basis Of A Methodology To Study Teaching, J. W. Mcqualter
Teacher Knowledge Part 2: Personal Construct Theory As The Basis Of A Methodology To Study Teaching, J. W. Mcqualter
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In the previous paper, Teacher Knowledge Part 1; Unstopping the Dam, the suggestion was made that a methodology based on Personal Construct Theory (PCT) could be used to explore and develop a new model of teacher professional development prepared by Fielding (1983). Two questions were asked. What is this methodology? How can it be used to explore and develop Fielding's model? The second question was dealt with in the earlier paper. The first is the subject of this paper. The intention here is threefold; firstly, to describe the theory of personal constructs, originated by Kelly (1955) and elaborated by Fransella …
The Ideology Of Pedogogy: The Right And The Left Of It!, Colin Symes
The Ideology Of Pedogogy: The Right And The Left Of It!, Colin Symes
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
"No doubt real education could only flourish only after the Revolution, when its importance would be generally recognised and when educators would be honoured and respected by the community, but something could be honourably achieved even now. He must try to do his job as effectively as the existing educational conditions and his own limitations allowed. Though he would not without inviting the sack introduce revolutionary politics directly into his teaching, he could aim at propagating humane ideas and getting his pupils to think".
Professionalism And Professional Status: Contrasting Aspects Of The Teacher Role, Ken Shaw
Professionalism And Professional Status: Contrasting Aspects Of The Teacher Role, Ken Shaw
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
When teachers talk about themselves as professionals two related, but at bottom different, ideas are involved, The first is that of a skilled performance, a practical competence within a sector of activity, underpinned by theory, but essentially the outcome of study, formation, and a lengthy period of immersion in a "technik" : classroom teaching and all that goes with it, including all relevant aspects of belonging as a full practicing member to a school or college, The second idea is that of professional status, This is an aspiration or a claim, to some extent realised, to enjoy certain privileges, social …
The Move Towards The Accreditation Of Teacher Education Courses In England And Wales, David R. Mcnamara
The Move Towards The Accreditation Of Teacher Education Courses In England And Wales, David R. Mcnamara
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In recent years there has been a significant change in the nature of Government (as mediated by the Department of Education and Science - DES) involvement in initial teacher training 1-c9- in England and Wales. Traditionally government has rightly concerned itself with the "manpower problem" of ensuring that the numbers of teachers in training relates to the demands for new teachers by employing authorities and with the "institutional problem" of determining the types of institutions which exist to provide teacher training, how they are organised within the higher education system, and how they are financed. The content of teacher training …
Teacher Curriculum: A Failed Paradigm Of Practise And Proceedure, D. M. Cavanagh
Teacher Curriculum: A Failed Paradigm Of Practise And Proceedure, D. M. Cavanagh
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
An examination of recent literature concerning teacher training suggests that in many parts of the western world it is constantly under review. Major Reports (Martin: 1964; Bell: 1971;James: 1972; The Senate: 1972; Williams: 1979; Coffey: 1980; Auchmuty: 1980) and the popular press have written and continue to write about various aspects of the teachers life. Some of these are anlyses of what is the case, others are about what could be the case whilst others dwell on the shortcomings of the teaching profession. The U.K. for example has its infamous Black Papers whilst in Australia the same concepts concerning standards …

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 …

The Education Of Children With Specific Reading Disabilities In Western Australia : Report To The Minister For Education, Western Australian Council For Special Education
Research outputs pre 2011
There are few developmental tasks in a child's life more important than learning to read. There are not many matters which concern parents and teachers more than whether or not a child makes satisfactory progress in learning to read. Parents and teachers are aware that young children soon realize whether or not they are progressing in much the same way as the rest of their peer group. As children move towards the end of primary school and enter secondary school, reading remains a fundamental skill on which so much other learning depends...
