Using Cognitive Load Theory To Select An Environment For Teaching Mobile Apps Development, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Simon, Barry Wilks
Using Cognitive Load Theory To Select An Environment For Teaching Mobile Apps Development, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Simon, Barry Wilks
Raina Mason
After considering a number of environments for the development of apps for mobile devices, we have evaluated five in terms of their suitability for students early in their programming study. For some of the evaluation we devised an evaluation scheme based on the principles of cognitive load theory to assess the relative ease or difficulty of learning and using each environment. After briefly presenting the scheme, we discuss our results, including our findings about which mobile apps development environments appear to show most promise for early-level programming students.

Gender Differences In Experiences Of Tafe It Students: A Work In Progress, Raina Mason, Graham Cooper, Tim Comber, Anne Hellou, Julie Tucker

In Australia, one of the sources of loss of females in the IT education pipeline occurs at the TAFE (college) level. Female students comprise the majority of early TAFE IT courses and female completion rates for these courses are similar to males. Despite this early success, most females choose to not continue to Diploma level, and through articulation pathways into university IT courses. A survey was conducted to determine possible differences in experiences between male and female TAFE IT students. It was found that more females than males lived alone or with dependents. Female students had higher employment status, higher …

In 2000 Central Queensland University conducted the first major review and redevelopment of its teacher education programs. Consequently the Bachelor of Learning Management (or BLM) came into being. A central premise of the BLM was the concept of graduate teachers having a ‘futures orientation’. In this article the results of a study into the perceptions of mentors and graduate teachers, with respect to a futures orientation, are reported.

Teacher Education In Australia : Investigations Into Programming, Practicum And Partnership, David Lynch, Tony Yeigh

In the last decade in Australia teacher education has undergone numerous critical reviews, yet little on the teacher education front appears to have changed. Related to this, the teaching profession’s struggles to cope with a changing world have been publicly documented and an increasing push for improved school outcomes from Australian governments, at both the state and federal level, appear as regular pieces in the national press. This forms a complex situation involving competing concerns, and raises questions concerning what to make of the situation and how to move teacher education forward in Australia. This book seeks to answer these …

David Lynch
This book, takes our ideas about teaching and teacher education a step further beyond our previously published ideas about teaching and teacher education . In writing the book we have a specific intent: to rethink teacher education for the benefit of students and their communities and the teaching profession. We aim to help people create new mindsets and build knowledge about what is meant by ‘to teach’ and ‘to learn’ in the 2000s; to encourage teachers and teacher educators to move past what they presently believe pedagogical work to be, and to enable teaching to take its place increasingly within …

«Remath - Representing Mathematics With Digital Media»: Deliverable 18: Integrated Theoretical Framework Version C, Christos Markopoulos
Christos Markopoulos
At the origin of ReMath lies the contrast between the huge efforts performed in most European countries to improve mathematics education through the development and use of Digital Dynamic Artefacts and the limited impact of these efforts on the reality of school practices. The hypothesis made by the ReMath partners is that the fragmented character of the theoretical frames developed to approach learning and teaching processes in such environments on the one hand and the insufficient attention that research in that area tends to pay to contextual issues on the other one, play an important role in the permanence of …
The Rise Of The Learning Manager: Changing Teacher Education, Richard Smith, David Lynch
The Rise Of The Learning Manager: Changing Teacher Education, Richard Smith, David Lynch
David Lynch
Learning Management is a disruptive innovation. It intends to explore and develop alternative pre-service and in turn practicing teacher arrangements that respond to the needs of education systems. These constituencies include policymakers, schools and other learning institutions, the teaching professions and above all, students and their communities who are marginalized without school and other education outcomes. Learning Management is about an alternative choice in the way in which ‘teaching’ gets done.
