Abstract:
The Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF) was established in 1926 by the passage in the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia of the Science and Industry Endowment Act at the same time as the Science and Industry Research Act established the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The SIEF played a major role in funding the training of Australian research workers from 1926 to 1950 and funded much of the research carried out in Australian universities in the pre-war period. This paper documents the activities of the SIEF from its inception in 1926 until inflation eroded the value of the Fund in the 1970s. The Fund was later reinvigorated by the injection of $150 million by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation between 2009 and 2010.

Abstract:
From the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 through the New Deal, American legislators commonly endowed administrative agencies with broad discretionary power. They did so over the objections of an intellectual founder of the American administrative state. The American-born, German-educated lawyer and political scientist Ernst Freund developed an Americanized version of the Rechtsstaat—a government bound by fixed and definite rules—in an impressive body of scholarship between 1894 and 1915. In 1920 he eagerly took up an offer from the Commonwealth Fund to finance a comprehensive study of administration in the United States. Here was his chance to show that a Continental version of the Rule of Law had come to America. Unfortunately for Freund, the Commonwealth Fund yoked him to the Austrian-born, American-educated Felix Frankfurter, a celebrant of the enlightened discretion of administrators. Freund's major publication for the Commonwealth Fund, Administrative Powers over Persons and Property (1928), made little impression on scholars of administrative law, who took their lead from Frankfurter. Today the Rechtsstaat is largely the beau ideal of libertarian critics of the New Deal; few recognize that it is also part of the diverse legacy of Progressive reform.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to present an historical analysis of the function of the Literary Fund of Virginia as it pertained to public school funding. The major questions central to this study were: (a) How has the Literary Fund addressed the funding needs of the Virginia public schools? (b) What significant changes have occurred in the apportionment of Literary Fund revenue? and (c) What are the future trends of the Literary Fund? The political and social circumstances that prevailed in Virginia, prior to this funding initiative, were examined to determine what effects they had on its development. Primary documents also were examined to ascertain pertinent information for completion of this study. These included: House and Senate Journals; The Acts of the General Assembly; Virginia School Reports; Virginia Second Auditor Reports of the Literary Fund; Annual Reports of the Superintendent of Public Instruction; and the Code of Virginia. Secondary sources were used to provide background information about the historical events that helped shape the development and perpetuation of the Literary Fund. Various government officials and a former Superintendent of Public Instruction were interviewed through use of a protocol. The purpose of these interviews was to gain insight on the likely future of the Literary Fund. Their answers to questions were analyzed to determine if consistent themes could be identified. These interviews, along with historical data collected, were examined in order to provide recommendations for future consideration by the Commonwealth of Virginia relative to the use of Literary Fund revenue.

Abstract:
Background: Although racial and ethnic differences in healthcare have been extensively documented in the United States, little attention has been paid to the quality of health care for the foreign-born population in the United States. Objectives: This study examines the association between patient perceptions of the patient-physician interaction and nativity status. Research Design: Cross-sectional telephone survey. Subjects: A total of 6674 individuals (US-born ≤ 5156; foreign-born ≤ 1518) 18 years of age and older. Measures: Seven questions measuring the quality of patient-physician interactions. Results: Of the 7 outcome variables examined in the unadjusted logistic regression model, only 2 remained statistically significant in the fully adjusted model. For both the total sample and for Asians only, compared with US-born, foreign-born individuals were at greater odds [total sample, odds ratio (OR) ≤ 1.43; 95% confidence interval (CI) ≤ 1. 01ĝ€"2.04; Asians, OR ≤ 3.25; 95% CI ≤ 1.18ĝ€"8.95] of reporting that their physician did not involve them in their care as much as they would have liked. Compared with US-born Asians, foreign-born Asians were at greater odds of reporting that their physician did not spend as much time with them as they would have liked (OR ≤ 4.19; 95% CI ≤ 1.68ĝ€"10.46). Discussion: Findings from our study suggest that we should not only track disparities by race and ethnicity but also by nativity status.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine how federal School Improvement Grant (SIG) funds were allocated and what differences existed between allocation patterns and overall student achievement outcomes as measured by annual measurable objectives (AMOs) established by the Virginia Board of Education in schools denied accreditation and those attaining full accreditation while under school improvement sanctions. School reform in K-12 education has seen many changes. The federal government has intervened, implementing stringent mandates for increased student achievement and sanctions for school divisions not meeting the required benchmarks. Within the Commonwealth of Virginia, schools not meeting annual measurable objectives (AMOs) in the content areas of reading and mathematics or graduation rates for high schools are identified in one of three categories: priority, focus, or as a Title I or Non-Title I school that has not met one or more of the AMOs (Virginia Department of Education, 2014). Schools designated as priority received 1003(a) and/or 1003(g) federal school improvement grant funding to implement research-based school reform initiatives. The goal of this study was to provide a descriptive analysis of the relationship between SIG funding and overall student achievement that will add to the current research. The population studied was schools identified as denied accreditation within the Commonwealth of Virginia. Additionally, comparable data were examined from ten priority schools previously accredited with warning that became fully accredited while under school improvement sanctions. Accreditation ratings from the 2013-2014 school year were utilized. Descriptive statistics revealed differences existed among allocation patterns in the group of schools denied accreditation and the group of priority schools that achieved full accreditation while under school improvement sanctions. Descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests revealed SIG funding had a positive impact on student outcomes in reading among the group of schools denied accreditation and the group of priority schools that achieved full accreditation while under school improvement sanctions. Findings indicated mathematics student outcomes did not experience the same benefit from SIG funding.

Abstract:
While much has been written on the Australian film and television industry, little has been presented by actual producers, filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion, synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful. The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010. Within these two voices are three layers against which this history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form the vertical structure within which industry issues are discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’. Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has depended on government support through subsidy, funding mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and legislative provisions. This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding them with the determinants of the market and funding, and immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Abstract:
John Cyril Smith (1922–2003), a Fellow of the British Academy, was Emeritus Professor of Law at the University of Nottingham where he headed the Law Department for three decades. In 1952–1953, Smith was awarded a Commonwealth Fund Fellowship at Harvard University and became impressed by the casebook method of teaching. The only subject he had taught every year throughout his career was evidence. His deep understanding of the law was apparent in his case commentaries on the subject for the Criminal Law Review, although by the mid-1980s he was handing over many evidence cases to his colleague and former student Diane Birch for commentary. He was a strong advocate of the presumption of innocence, in the form of the principle. It is chiefly for his work on the substantive criminal law that Smith will be long remembered. In addition to his three decades as Head of the Law Department at the University of Nottingham, and all his academic writings, Smith gave considerable time to official committees and other public service work.

Full text
Abstract:
The Covid-19 pandemic brought to light huge gaps in education systems globally. Many African countries were unable to respond quickly to the impact of the pandemic. Additionally, in Nigeria, insurgency and insecurity are daily realities that have equally disrupted schools, forcing them to shut down. As a result, many institutions adopted emergency, remote teaching and learning approaches, recognising the potential of open, distance and eLearning (ODeL) to mitigate the disruptions and therefore contribute to building resilience. However, many of these interventions lack appropriate ODeL design and pedagogical features. A Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), National Research Fund (NRF)-sponsored project titled "Setting an Agenda for Research into Open, Distance, and eLearning in the Global South: Nigeria as a Case Study" set out to identify gaps, priority areas, and research trends to inform ODeL policy, and guide practice in the context of the various challenges. The project harnesses the value of research relating to policy, pedagogy, and practice in ODeL. The main objective of this paper is to investigate key areas of ODeL that should receive greater attention in research and thereby offer insights on the possible implications for building resilient educational systems and promoting innovative practices. A two-phased, mixed-method data collection process was implemented with quantitative data obtained through a preliminary online survey of 382 ODeL practitioners from higher education institutions in Nigeria. Qualitative data was obtained through a follow-up interview with a purposively selected group of 26 ODeL experts. The study reveals a commonality of views among the expert group about the key areas for research such as learner support, ICT, and instructional delivery. The opinions of the sample expert group confirmed the responses of the general population. The study also reveals emerging categories of previously unclassified research priority areas that are common to the African context. Research into these key areas can contribute significantly to building resilient education systems and promoting innovative practices.

Full text
Abstract:
The unprecedented effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused a paradigm shift in the education sector by transitioning from the traditional face to face learning to online learning. Attitudinal studies exploring the attitudes and characteristics of the students in online learning have revealed a lack of student engagement and motivation in the online education delivery. Gamification is the principle of adding game-like elements to non-game activities and in the online learning context, it is a strategy used to enhance engagement and motivation. The recent literature suggests that if gamification is well planned and integrated in the course design, it has the potential to improve learning. However, there still lacks qualitative research to show how the different game elements can fit into different learning contexts. To address this gap, this study shows how gamification was brought into the lesson design and how different game elements were woven into a learning experience. This study adds up to the existing literature by going beyond implementing the most commonly used game elements namely point, badge and leader board. The outcome of the user experiences showed that the “glearners” were motivated and propelled through the learning content in a fun and enjoyable way.

Full text
Abstract:
Education has been shaken globally due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic causing schools to close and thus constraining many learners with limited access to the traditional way of learning by attending classes physically. UNESCO revealed that school closures and learning loss across the globe from the pandemic reached 54 million in January 2022. Girls worldwide have limited access to education and the pandemic has made it extra difficult because of school closures. However, the application of virtual technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) in education can improve and sustain online learning to reach and include more girls in education. With the rise in the importance of AR, this paper is motivated to explore AR and education for girls with a focus on the inclusive approach. Literature review and content analysis are the methodologies used for a comparative study between India and Tanzania with findings indicating that there is a need to use and apply AR technologies particularly AR mobile technologies in education for girls to make the learning process fun, interactive and educative. The findings of this paper can assist education practitioners to use AR in education as an inclusive approach to widen the provision of education for girls.

Abstract:
In 1997, the Minister of Education in Zambia then, Dr. S. Siyamujaye announced that schoolgirls who become pregnant would no longer be expelled. The girls who had been expelled in that year were allowed to return to school. The directive showed serious commitment towards the education of girls. Hence, the Re-Entry Policy mandates schools to allow girls who fall pregnant or left school due to early marriages back into school system (MOE,1997). // Further, in the pursuit to educate girls, the Government of the Republic of Zambia is working with cooperating partners to eradicate the vices and borrowed funds from World Bank in 2016 to support the ‘Girls' Education and Women's Empowerment and Livelihood. Through ‘Keeping Girls in School (KGS) initiative’ the government has been providing bursaries to girls whose parents/guardians were identified to be vulnerable and who were beneficiaries of the Social Cash Transfer Programme. // The project objective is to support the Government of Zambia to increase access to livelihood support for women and access to secondary education for underprivileged adolescent girls in extremely poor households in selected districts, and Petauke is among the benefiting districts in Zambia. // Despite all these efforts to educate the girl-child, mitigate teenage pregnancies and child marriages, the ministry has continued receiving reports of dropouts due to covid-19, high poverty levels, tradition and culture, teenage pregnancies and early marriages. // The findings revealed that the KGS initiative has positively impacted on girls’ education as Memory Lungu, a learner at Petauke Boarding Secondary School states, “The KGS initiative is good. This is because some of us, our parents cannot manage to pay for us in school. The Government is helping us through KGS and we are grateful” (MOGE Magazine 2021). // The investigation involved 32 out of 53 benefiting schools; sampled and interviewed 100 out of 2,767 beneficiaries.
