Secondary Schools In The Sixties: Framework And Organization, Ronald Thomas Fitzgerald Mar 1968

Secondary Schools In The Sixties: Framework And Organization, Ronald Thomas Fitzgerald

Quarterly Review of Australian Education

This issue of the Quarterly Review of Australian Education Vol 1 No 3 1968 provides an analysis of secondary schooling in Australia. The objective of any educational reform ought to be the creation of a school setting more favourable to the learning process and the complete development of the individual student. At present we know little of what are the optimum conditions under which comprehensive secondary schools in Australia operate and a programme of long-term research into such questions as school size, building and patterns of grouping would prove valuable. Change both subtle and marked is taking place at an …

Comparative Age-Grade Levels In State Schools Of The Australian States, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer) Jan 1948

Comparative Age-Grade Levels In State Schools Of The Australian States, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

Information Bulletin 1945-1951

Some years ago, the Australian Council for Educational Research prepared a table of the equivalent grades in the six Australian States. In 1945 and 1946 the R.A.A.F Vocational Guidance Service reprinted the upper section of this table, together with other information regarding post-primary courses and examinations, as "Comparative Educational Levels in the Australian States”. While it is now fairly evident, from the comparison of curricula end results in our curriculum survey, that there are no strictly comparable levels in the content of courses or in the mean ages of children, the R.A.A.F. table has apparently proved useful to head masters …

Opinions Of Victorian Teachers On Co-Education, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer) Jan 1948

Opinions Of Victorian Teachers On Co-Education, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

Information Bulletin 1945-1951

Few questions divide educational opinion more acutely than that as to whether boys and girls at the secondary stage should be taught in the same school or in separate schools. Public opinion in Australia is in the same position. According to the results of a Gallup Poll published in March 1947, fifty per cent were in favour of teaching together boys and girls of 11 years and over, 42 per cent would teach them separately, and 8 per cent were undecided. Adults between twenty and thirty years of age showed a distinctly more favourable attitude towards co-education than did older …

Some Current Problems In English Education, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer) Jan 1947

Some Current Problems In English Education, Australian Council For Educational Research (Acer)

Information Bulletin 1945-1951

On the question of organisition at the secondary level Australia, as a whole has not given evidence of any very clear-cut policy. The common practice is to provide separate academic and technical schools in the capital cities and large country towns with certain intermediate types of school which may have a bias in one direction and may act primarily: as “feeders” to schools giving more advanced courses. Except in Tasmania the “modern school” has not emerged very explicitly. In many of the smaller country centres, however, we find dual or multi-purpose schools. It is not easy to say whether these …

1946 Term Dates : Primary And Secondary Schools In The Australian States : Numbers Of Pupils Involved., Australian Council For Educational Research

Information Bulletin 1945-1951

This 1945 bulletin was compiled by the Australian Council for Educational Research based on Australian state Education Gazettes to show the dates each of the three school terms by state and level of schooling. It estimated the numbers of pupils affected for each type of school in each state. Term dates for Private Schools were not available, and assumed to show great variation even in any one State.

Libraries In Secondary Schools: A Report On The Libraries Of Secondary Schools In Victoria, With Suggestions For A Post-War Plan For School Libraries Prepared For The Australian Institute Of Librarians (Victorian Branch), Frank G. Kirby Jan 1945

Libraries In Secondary Schools: A Report On The Libraries Of Secondary Schools In Victoria, With Suggestions For A Post-War Plan For School Libraries Prepared For The Australian Institute Of Librarians (Victorian Branch), Frank G. Kirby

Information Management

In order to ascertain the present position with regard to library provision in Victorian secondary education, questionnaires were sent to 91 schools, 50 government and 41 private. Answers were received from 51. No replies were received from 37 schools, while 3 schools explained that circumstances prevented them at that time from complying with our request. Although it is to be regretted that 37 schools failed to return replies, we may reasonably assume that this negative result indicates that most of these schools either have no library, or that the library is so small that it was not considered worth while …

The Length Of The Teacher's Professional Life, Kenneth Stewart Cunningham Jan 1932

The Length Of The Teacher's Professional Life, Kenneth Stewart Cunningham

Australian Educational Studies

The figures given in this paper are based on data supplied by five of the Australian States. The aim of the investigation was to obtain some indication of the average length of service of teachers employed by the State Education Departments. The method used was to ascertain the age on retirement, the length of service, and the cause of retirement of each teacher who ceased to be employed by the various Departments during the years 1928, 1929 and 1930.
