What Happened To The National Statement For The Teaching Profession?, Lawrence C. Ingvarson
What Happened To The National Statement For The Teaching Profession?, Lawrence C. Ingvarson
Dr Lawrence Ingvarson (Consultant)
In 2003, 15 teacher associations put together a National Statement from the Teaching Profession on Teacher Standards, Quality and Professionalism. It recommended that A nationally coordinated, rigorous and consistent system should be established to provide recognition to teachers who demonstrate advanced standards . . . The enterprise bargaining process between employers and unions will be an important mechanism for providing recognition for professional certification. All employing authorities should be encouraged to provide recognition and support for professional certification as the process comes to demonstrate its credibility and its effects on professional learning. (p. 4) The Statement was the culmination of …

Transition Or Lack Of It? Looking At The Changes In Students' Attitudes To, And Interest In, Science Over The Primary/Secondary Interface, Marianne Ruth Logan
Dr Marianne R Logan
The science education literature reveals a crisis in school science in Australia, and a number of other countries (Tytler, 2007a), relating to a decrease in positive attitude in science as students move from primary school into secondary school (Braund & Driver, 2005; Ferguson & Fraser, 1998; James & Smith 1985; Jarman, 1990; Keogh & Naylor, 2004; Simpson & Oliver, 1985) and as students progress through secondary school (Baird, Gunstone, Penna, Fensham, & White, 1990; Simpson & Oliver, 1990; Yager & Yager, 1985) as well as declining numbers of students choosing science subjects in senior secondary school (Goodrum et aI., 2001) …

In this Action Research Project, students will utilize online discussion boards to interact with one another in order engage in critical literacy practices. Online discussions will be utilized to provide students with an opportunity to be “heard” in a manner that is often difficult in classroom discussions. Students will have an opportunity to think and compose thoughtful responses to texts. In addition, they will be able to read the responses of classmates to consider multiple perspectives. Most importantly, online discussions will allow students who are reluctant to participate in classroom discussions an opportunity to find their voice.

Exploring The Factors That Motivate Female Students To Enroll And Persist In A Collegiate Stem Degree Program, Rosemary L. Edzie, Moe Alahmad

In the United States, collegiate enrollment in science and engineering programs continues to decline, while European and Asian universities have increased the number of science and engineering graduates. In addition, there is a growing concern over too few females enrolling and persisting in collegiate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degree programs. Through increasing access to pre-collegiate STEM activities, providing a better understanding of STEM career choices, instilling of confidence in math and science, and establishing student and industry based mentoring programs, more female students will enroll and persist in collegiate STEM degree programs. This paper sets to explore the …
