Epistemic Authority, Rationality And The Fallacy Of Educational Democracy, John H. Chambers
Epistemic Authority, Rationality And The Fallacy Of Educational Democracy, John H. Chambers
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In any rational authority system, authority must be closely connected to point, purpose and function. The situation of authority in colleges and universities provides a special case of such point, purpose and function. The present paper tries to show the quite special features of the epistemic (knowledge) authority of academics that provide rational justification for their being in many positions of social authority in their institutions. To do this, (1) the particular aspects of the point, purpose and function of such epistemic authorities will be demonstrated, (2) the logical necessity of academic disciplines for rational endeavour will be pointed out, …

Open Areas And Open Education Re-Examined : A Research Study, William A. Gray
Open Areas And Open Education Re-Examined : A Research Study, William A. Gray
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In March of 1975, we sent a 192 item, ten-Dimension self-report questIonnaire to 550 educators in British Columbia, Canada, who had attended at least one of two conferences on implementing Open Education. The purpose was to determine via mUltiple discriminant analysis what variables affect the type of program (Open vs. Traditional) being implemented in two type's of facilities (Open Area vs. Self-Contained Classrooms) in a 2 x 2 design. A statistically significant discriminant function was found for certain variables on eight Dimensions: Adequacy of Facility, Adequecy of Support, Teaming, Job Satisfaction, Teacher Attitudes, Adequacy of Pre-Service Training, Types and Adequacy …
Psychodrama As A Personal Growth Experience : A Programme For Teacher Trainees, John Carroll, Noel Howieson
Psychodrama As A Personal Growth Experience : A Programme For Teacher Trainees, John Carroll, Noel Howieson
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Churchlands College was established in 1972 and was drawing up its first course submission when legislation separating teacher training institutions from the State Government Education Department was passed. With autonomy from the outset, staff were able to plan courses consistent with their own values and expertise. The College as a whole adopted a three-pronged approach to teacher preparation with programmes in curriculum and instruction methods, education and educational psychology and in personal and professional growth and development. Each department considered its possible contribution to these streams. I n considering its contribution to the personal growth programme for trainees the Psychology …
School Phobia: A Review Of Some Issues, M. W. Boyce
School Phobia: A Review Of Some Issues, M. W. Boyce
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
It is now quite well established that children, usually said to be suffering from school phobia (Johnson et al, 1941). or school refusal (Morgan, 1959). have great difficulty in attending school as a result of a neurotic disturbance, and that this is quite distinct from truancy, which is more often part of an anti-social or conduct disorder (Warren, 1948; Hersov, 1960a). School phobia is a condition which involves more than a simple fear of school. Johnson et al (1941) claimed that the essential problem lay in an unresolved mutual dependency relationship between mother and child, with arousal of intense separation …
Diploma In Education? Rethinking The Curriculum., A. J. Fielding, D. M. Cavanagh, R. E. Widdowson
Diploma In Education? Rethinking The Curriculum., A. J. Fielding, D. M. Cavanagh, R. E. Widdowson
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
For well over half a century the traditional end-on diploma year has been under fire from university departments, students, and the teaching profession. How is it possible in one year for students to reach adequate levels of knowledge and understanding in a large number of subjects, epistemologicalIy diverse and frequently outside their undergraduate experience? The answer of course, is that it is not possible to believe otherwise is to labour under gross delusion. A university department of education, acting with the best of intentions, cannot give more than cursory attention to even the most essential elements of a preservice programme …
Teacher Representation And Some Problems For Changing Structures Of Teacher Education, Lyn Yates
Teacher Representation And Some Problems For Changing Structures Of Teacher Education, Lyn Yates
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Two issues concerning the structure of teacher education are important in Australia today, and have significance for how the substance of that education, and of what is involved in being a teacher, are conceived. One is a long established debate about the role of teachers in the schools (in contrast to 'academics') in deciding the direction which teacher education should take and in taking responsibility for it. The second issue of structure concerns the function and relation to each other of different education programmes which a teacher may undertake in the course of his career. These include, for example, the …
Study Behaviour And Tertiary Academic Achievement, E. P. Otto
Study Behaviour And Tertiary Academic Achievement, E. P. Otto
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Sufficient time and effort expended in study have been shown to be essential pre-requisites to satisfactory examination performance at tertiary level. This paper presents the results of an investigation into the relationship between academic achievement and the variables of student attitudes toward study, effort expended in studying, the availability of a study room and scholarship status. All these variables were significantly related to examination performance during various years of the courses studied. The effects of the study variables operated differentially for males and females in the sample.
Barriers And Resistance To Innovation, R. I. Nisbet, J. M. Collins
Barriers And Resistance To Innovation, R. I. Nisbet, J. M. Collins
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The paper examines some of the theoretical and empirical literature on the acceptance or rejection of innovation in school settings. A number of innovations models are examined and comment made upon their application. A comment is made on a case study of the diffusion of a particular innovation in social science teaching in Queensland schools.
Marxists, Mormons And Indoctrination In Schools, John H. Chambers
Marxists, Mormons And Indoctrination In Schools, John H. Chambers
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
It is argued that when we call a set of activities, 'indoctrination: we are talking about something that is a matter of degree and that the degree of the indoctrination will be determined by a complex interrelationship between the teachers intentions, the content of what he teaches and the methods he uses. The content of indoctrination has to do with doctrines, doctrines being complex set of interrelated beliefs such as Mormonism and Marxism, that cannot be demonstrated to be unquestionably true (or unquestionably false). So teachers should make clear the equivocal status of doctrines. It is suggested that although full-blown …
Continuing Education For Indonesian Language Teachers In Victoria, Australia, Lambert Kelabora
Continuing Education For Indonesian Language Teachers In Victoria, Australia, Lambert Kelabora
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The last ten years have witnessed a significant growth in the teaching of Bahasa Indonesia in Australia. Of the 98 Indonesian language teachers in 1975, 62 (63%) responded to the present study. Amongst them were eight native speakers of Bahasa Indonesian who are all teaching at private schools. This paper explores the needs for and the provision of in-service training amongst these teachers. Some suggested solutions to the problems in this field will be implicit in the analysis.
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 …
Educating Artistic Vision, By Eisner, Elliot W., Fred Stewart
Educating Artistic Vision, By Eisner, Elliot W., Fred Stewart
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Educating Artistic Vision, is written for art educators, art curriculum developers and teachers responsible for conducting art programmes. This does not mean though, that it is without significance to all those who are concerned with the educational welfare of children.
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
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 …
Child Language Development And The School, Sue Croome, Margaret Fairhall
Child Language Development And The School, Sue Croome, Margaret Fairhall
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Children's language emerges from the lives they lead and we cannot hope to make sense of it without understanding their lives. A considerable portion of their day is lived in school and this too becomes woven into their language - it is the particular kind of shared life created by all those who work together in a school which will determine how language will be used by teachers and pupils. However, the discussion of children's language must never lose sight of the context in which it occurs, not simply the immediate spur to speech and writing but the life from …
The Teachers Colleges And The Partridge Report In Western Australia : An End To Autonomy?, G Partington
The Teachers Colleges And The Partridge Report In Western Australia : An End To Autonomy?, G Partington
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
In January, 1975, the State Government announced the appointment of a committee to inquire into post-secondary education in Western Australia. The task of this committee was "to advise the Government of Western Australia on the promotion, development and co-ordination of post secondary education in the State having regard to its future needs" The purpose of this paper is to examine a specific recommendation of the Report relating to the teachers colleges in W. A.
The Assessment Of Teaching Practice : What Criteria Should We Choose?, C. P. Hodgson
The Assessment Of Teaching Practice : What Criteria Should We Choose?, C. P. Hodgson
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
For a number of years now, the practical element of pre-service teacher education has been taken in primary and secondary schools under the guidance of members of the school staff, and tutors from the college or university department of education. The tutor may also be called upon to give an assessment of the student's ability to teach. Despite various attempts to break away from assessments by grading, the fact remains that the majority of student-teachers practise are assessed this way. The recurrent problem, then, is on what criteria should the assessment be based?
The Disabled Reader And The Reading Process, P. D. Rousch
The Disabled Reader And The Reading Process, P. D. Rousch
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Traditionally we have come to regard the disabled reader as one who is deficient in ability to recognize words in isolation / context, whose word attack skills are so deficient that we throw up our hands in horror at his inability to come up with anything like what is in print, and who is generally unable to obtain a glimmer of understanding into the meaning of what he is reading. At a somewhat lower level than this type of reader is the illiterate and whether the illiterate is entitled to be regarded as a " reader ", disabled or otherwise, …
Energy Expenditure Of Grade Four School Children In Western Australia, T. W. Odgers, S. C. Langelaan, J. Henzell, C. Chapman
Energy Expenditure Of Grade Four School Children In Western Australia, T. W. Odgers, S. C. Langelaan, J. Henzell, C. Chapman
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
A composite team from the Public Health Service, the West Australian Institute of Technology, and the Graylands Teachers College conducted surveys on grade 7 children in 1974, and grade 4 children in 1975. The intention of the surveys was to find some relationship between the energy expenditure and the energy intake of each age group. As there is little information concerning the activity patterns of West Australian children the findings of these surveys would serve as a basis for more detailed reports into the physical fitness, activity and dietary balance of children in today's changing society. The study reported below …
Social Learning For Children With Specific Learning Disabilities, K. A. Fulmer, H. J. Jenkins
Social Learning For Children With Specific Learning Disabilities, K. A. Fulmer, H. J. Jenkins
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The recent interest in curriculum development has empahasized the need for a framework in which to integrate many different education goals. Heiss and Mischio have proposed three criteria for a comprehensive curriculum. Good curricula which satisfy these conditions have been developed for use in the normal school programme. However, at present there is a great need for integrated curricula which attend to the special needs of children with general or specific learning disablilities.

The Fourth R : Reality Construction And The Sociology Of Knowledge, Prolegomena To Social Studies Curriculum Theory, P. Reynolds
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
The nineteen sixties were marked by a revival of interest In the theory of curriculum construction and innovation which was derived from a psychological perspective. However, recent developments would seem to suggest a growing consciousness of the need for a sociological perspective on curriculum theory. This paper represents explorations within the wide field of the sociology of knowledge in an attempt to isolate the main issues of confl ict and controversy.
Training Teachers To Facilitate Inquiry, J. H. Lake
Training Teachers To Facilitate Inquiry, J. H. Lake
Australian Journal of Teacher Education
Within the broad context of the topic Pre-Service and In-Service Education, I have decided to focus my attention on one rather narrow aspect of the pre-service education of primary school teachers. The topic which I want to consider is one which I have called " Training Teachers to Facilitate Inquiry " The examples which I ' ll use are drawn primarily from the broad field of primary science education. However since the type of intellectual activity involved in inquiry is desired in all areas of the primary school curriculum, I trust that what I have to say will have application …
