Employability Skills For Australian Industry : Literature Review And Framework Development, David Curtis, Phil Mckenzie
Employability Skills For Australian Industry : Literature Review And Framework Development, David Curtis, Phil Mckenzie
Dr Phillip McKenzie
Australia has assigned considerable resources during the 1990s in attempts to embed the Mayer Key Competencies into education and training provision, especially in the VET sector. However while there is general agreement that all young Australians need a set of skills which will prepare them for employment and further learning, there is a lack of consensus about what those skills should be. This report draws on Australian and international literature on key employability skills to: clarify concepts and terminology; analyse the principles and purposes in different approaches to key employability competencies; develop a framework of key employability competencies for use …

Early School Leavers: Who Are They, Why Do They Leave, And What Are The Consequences?, Gary Marks, Julie Mcmillan
Early School Leavers: Who Are They, Why Do They Leave, And What Are The Consequences?, Gary Marks, Julie Mcmillan
Julie McMillan
Changes in the youth labour market mean that that pathway from school to work is no longer so clearly defined. This paper addresses three broad issues: (1) In the late 1990s, who left school before the completion of Year 12? Are the sociodemographic factors which exerted an influence in the past still influencing the educational pathways of young people? (2) What are the reasons given by young people for leaving school early? (3) What are the consequences of school non-completion in the immediate post-school years?
Aggregated Dsred-Tagged Cx43 And Over-Expressed Cx43 Are Targeted To Lysosomes In Human Breast Cancer Cells, H. Qin, Q. Shao, Daniel Belliveau, D. Laird
Aggregated Dsred-Tagged Cx43 And Over-Expressed Cx43 Are Targeted To Lysosomes In Human Breast Cancer Cells, H. Qin, Q. Shao, Daniel Belliveau, D. Laird
Daniel J. Belliveau
To investigate if either wild-type or aggregated Cx43 is abnormally targeted to lysosomes in human breast tumor cells, we examined the fate of DsRed-tagged Cx43 and over-expressed Cx43 in communication-deficient HBL-100 and MDA-MB-231 cells. DsRed-tagged Cx43 was assembled into gap junctions in control normal rat kidney cells that express endogenous Cx43 but not in Cx43-negative HBL-100 cells. However, when HBL-100 cells were engineered to coexpress wild-type Cx43 a population of DsRed-tagged Cx43 was rescued and assembled into gap junctions. Co-expression of wild-type Cx26 failed to rescue the assembly of DsRed-tagged Cx43 into gap junctions. Immunolocalization studies revealed that DsRed-tagged Cx43 …
Experimenting With Uncertainty: Essays In Honour Of Alan Davies
Experimenting With Uncertainty: Essays In Honour Of Alan Davies
Dr Tom Lumley
This festschrift brings together 28 invited papers surveying the state of the art in language testing from a perspective which combines technical and broader applied linguistics insights. The papers cover issues ranging from construct definition to the design and applications of language tests, including their importance as a means of exploring larger issues in language teaching, language learning and language policy. The volume locates work in language testing in a context of social, political and ethical issues at a time when testing is increasingly expected to be publicly accountable

Citizenship And Education In Twenty-Eight Countries : Civic Knowledge And Engagement At Age Fourteen., Judith Torney-Purta, Rainer Lehmann, Hans Oswald, Wolfram Schulz
Dr Wolfram Schulz
This current publication, Citizenship and education in twenty-eight countries, presents the first results of Phase 2 of the study. It follows a style similar to that traditionally used by IEA, and it complements the more qualitative approach of the first volume by reporting quantitative information from the tests, surveys and questionnaires. Together, the two publications provide a complete and remarkable picture of civic education policies, practices and results across countries in the late 1990s. Having identified and discussed the outcomes of our respective countries in an international context, we know that the time has arrived to pay special attention to …

An Evaluation Of Education And Training Financial Statistics: Report To The Australian Bureau Of Statistics, Gerald Burke, Ross Harold, Phil Mckenzie
An Evaluation Of Education And Training Financial Statistics: Report To The Australian Bureau Of Statistics, Gerald Burke, Ross Harold, Phil Mckenzie
Dr Phillip McKenzie
This report develops a framework for financial statistics for education and training in Australia, it reviews the current Australian education and training financial statistics against that framework and makes recommendations for further developments of financial statistics by the National Centre for Education and Training Statistics. The need for this study arises from known gaps in current data, inconsistencies or lack of important detail in the available data sets and new needs for education and training data arising from the changing nature of the workforce, globalisation and the increasing attention to lifelong learning both in and out of education and training …
Issues In The Financing Of Higher Education And Vet, Gerald Burke, Phil Mckenzie
Issues In The Financing Of Higher Education And Vet, Gerald Burke, Phil Mckenzie
Dr Phillip McKenzie
This paper reviews options for providing additional funds for a tertiary institution and for improving efficiency in the use of funds. It reviews the context of the funding for VET and higher education in Australia and specifically for the Northern Territory, then considers some possible ways of increasing funding or reducing the costs of providing education and training. Ways in which public funding could be expanded are discussed, as is private funding, and finally ways of increasing the efficiency of delivery and hence reducing the cost per EFTSU or per student hour.
The Process Of The Assessment Of Writing Performance : The Rater's Perspective, Tom Lumley
The Process Of The Assessment Of Writing Performance : The Rater's Perspective, Tom Lumley
Dr Tom Lumley
This study investigates the process of rating texts written by adult ESL learners. Four experienced raters provided think-aloud protocols describing the rating process for a set of 24 texts. The think-aloud data allowed analysis of the sequence of rating, raters' interpretations of the scoring categories, and difficulties raters faced. The study reveals the complexity of the rating process, whereby raters struggle to resolve a tension between the wordings (or rules) of the rating scale and their complex, initial, intuitive impression of the text. Rating requires training to provide reliable measurement. The study also demonstrates that caution is needed in interpreting …

It then delves into associations between background characteristics of respondents and PREQ measures, differences between masters and doctoral graduates, variations among broad areas of study, and differences between institutions.
Reverse Polyblock Approximation For Optimization Over The Weakly Efficient Set And Efficient Set, Luc Le
Reverse Polyblock Approximation For Optimization Over The Weakly Efficient Set And Efficient Set, Luc Le
Dr Luc Tu Le
A new method is developed for maximizing a concave function over the weakly efficient set, or the efficient set. The method consists of converting the problem into a monotonic optimization problem and solving the latter by a reverse polyblock approximation algorithm.

Parental Assessment Of College Character: Brand Identity And Consumer Behavior In Higher Education, Oscar T. Mcknight, Ronald Paugh, Emily Newton
Parental Assessment Of College Character: Brand Identity And Consumer Behavior In Higher Education, Oscar T. Mcknight, Ronald Paugh, Emily Newton
Oscar T McKnight Ph.D.
The concept of character development in higher education enjoys considerable professional support. Moreover, commercial marketers are aggressively promoting brand image and brand character to differentiate their products and services. However, there is a paucity of research on the marketing of a university's brand character. This exploratory research examines parental assessment of college character , its conceptual components and hierarchical factor structure. A discussion highlights practical implications for the marketing of a college's brand character.
