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 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
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 …

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.

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 …
