Abstract:

Many misconceptions about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders stem from Australia’s period of colonisation in the 18th and 19th centuries when Indigenous people were believed to be inferior by European settlers. It is disturbing that after 200 years these negative ideas still exist and are often perpetuated through the mass media. Even though schools are well positioned to challenge these colonial values; unfortunately there are many factors which affect the depth and quality of teaching Aboriginal content, such as culture, history and contemporary issues. The government has aimed to disper

Abstract:

The focus of the research was on the manifestation of leadership that emerged in one district high school in Western Australia undergoing both imposed and self-determined change. Given the phenomena, which were deemed to involve complex human behaviour, a decision was made to locate the research within the naturalistic paradigm. The research was established in the “bounded case study” mode in which the school was regarded as an instant draw from a class within which issues would be discovered the described and studies in order to achieve understanding.

Abstract:

With the changing age profile of teachers in Australian schools, considerable numbers of experienced teachers need to feature as educational leaders, before their workplace knowledge and expertise will be lost to schools with retirement. Stereotypes of veteran teachers depict individuals, wearied by decades of work experiences, entering professional decline when educational systems need these experienced practitioners to remain connected, communicative and motivated in their work. This thesis explores the careers and contemporary professional lives of experienced practitioners predominantly

Abstract:

The research articles presented in this portfolio originate from questions and concerns about the organization, leadership and practices of government secondary schools in NSW. There are presently 395 high schools and 66 central schools providing secondary education in government schools (DET, 2004 Directory, p.55). Of these high schools, 98 are specialised in some way – selective, performing arts, sports, technology, senior and multi campus (Vinson, 2002, p. 126). Over one quarter of schools are now specialised in some way, leaving just under 300 comprehensive high schools. Of these, 30 are s

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 113-135. This thesis investigates change in secondary schools in South Australia during the 1970s. Public concern about the purposes and organization of schools, and about education in general led to the establishment of a government enquiry in 1969, chaired by Peter Karmel. Its report, Education in South Australia, ushered in a period of rapid change. High schools and technical high schools were reshaped into comprehensive secondary schools. A significant element in this reform was the human capitalist idea that education is an investment in the development of the individ

This thesis is a journey reflecting on my professional practice as a teacher.

These conversations also provide a 'voice' for those who are often controlled by their own labour into silence.

Abstract:

The corporate transformation of bureaucratic public education in Western Australia commenced in the late 1980s. The reforms announced in the Better Schools Report (1987) aimed to devolve responsibility to schools for the purpose of improving the efficiency and effectiveness of public education. Designed to be responsive, adaptable, flexible and accountable, the administrative style accompanying the reforms is described as corporate managerialism. Devolution has impacted heavily on schools and teachers' work. Evidence presented in this thesis suggests that the corporate values and practices tha

This research aimed to investigate and understand the socialisation of early career principals in Western Australian public schools. It is widely acknowledged that school principals are critical in the successful education of students and delivering on this is seen to be the core purpose of the role. It is evident that the development of effective principals has great value. As a result, the socialisation of principals during the formative early career stage, whereby they learn the necessary knowledge, skills and understandings of the role, is important in the educational experiences of studen

Australian educators are currently engaged in widening debates about the performance of the nation’s schools, teachers and students. Perceived literacy deficits among secondary students have fuelled the debate, and this has precipitated reforms to English curricula at both National and State levels.

In response to the changes, major education publishers in Australia have released revised textbooks for English that purport to engage with the new cur

Abstract:

Although minority status has been associated with low academic achievement, the “high Asian achieving syndrome" remains as one of the unresolved sociological puzzles. Consistent evidence suggests that regardless of the family status, children from the Asian migrant families, settled in the industrialised countries, tend to perform academically better than their counterparts from the dominant group. This disparity is attributed to a number of factors, which taken separately, do not address this complex issue. In Australia little research has been done to compare the home environment and school

The change processes impacted on many areas of teachers' work and this, combined with the emotional aspects of being in a school which was closing, flagged teacher morale as an issue requiring attention.

Abstract:

An aspect of Australian education is the continued presence of the Catholic schools including those in the Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn. They have continued to be a significant part of Australian education after decades of ups and downs. The question today is not whether Catholic schools will survive but rather how effective they will be despite the changes which have taken place over the last few decades. Catholic schools still aim to provide all the elements of a State education, and in addition, to offer them within a Catholic setting. They have tried to create an environment that w

Abstract:

There is widespread support in the educational reform literature for learner-centred teaching practices and these practices are typically emphasised during teacher training. However, when faced with the myriad challenges of beginning to teach, the early career teacher will often avoid ambitious, learner-centred pedagogies and revert to less challenging, teacher-centred practices. The aim of this study was to investigate how early career science teachers implemented flipped learning when supported with flipped learning curricular resources. Through a critical review of the learner-centred pedag

Abstract:

Post compulsory music education courses in Western Australia have undergone major curriculum reform. Reform has included a shift from a prescriptive curriculum based upon the Western canon to a more embracing practical and creative one, due for full implementation in 2009. As the numbers of students undertaking elective post compulsory music in Western Australia has been traditionally low, education authorities anticipate that more students will elect to undertake the new course. However, given previous research into motivational issues associated with the transition to secondary school, low p

Abstract:

In Australiari high schools today there. are increasingly greater numbers of students completing a final two years of post-compulsory secondary schooling Without the intention of progressing to a university tertiary education. Educators acknowledge that the comparative lack of motivation displayed by these students poses problems within the classroom and the educational system and most are concerned about how best to cater for the distinct and unique needs of this group of students.

Abstract:

This study seeks to investigate the effect of a 5 day outdoor educational experience on the generalised self-efficacy of four Australian high school students. Specifically, it explored how the students conceptualise self-efficacy and whether they perceive a change in their own self-efficacy as a result of their experience. A key focus of the study was an investigation of the factors in their experience to which they attribute this change and if such a change is maintained. To reconstruct the complex story of the outdoor educational experience for each student, a research design consisting o

Abstract:

This thesis explores alienated students' perceptions of the organizational health of a Year 7 to 10 A.C.T. high school. The study emerged at the theoretical level from a concern that school effectiveness studies focussed too narrowly on student academic attainment as an indicator of an effective school. A broader view of effectiveness would hopefully show that in the case of comprehensive co-educational government high schools, student alienation could have a powerful effect in undermining the achievement of academic goals in such schools. Because these schools have little control over their s

Abstract:

The Deputy Principals' Leadership Development Program (DPLDP) was researched and developed by the Calgary Board of Education from 1983 to 1987. It was conducted for the first time in Western Australia when deputy principals from schools in the Narrogin Education District participated in the program during the period 1989-91. This study is an evaluation of the DPLDP. It was designed to determine whether there is justification for the continued use of the program as a means of enhancing the instructional leadership capacities of deputy principals in the Narrogin Education District.
