Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents the Leigh community’s view of the impact of Hayden College on Leigh. The study establishes ‘community’ as the key aspect of this atypical school-community partnership in the context of research which shows that effective school-community partnerships are socially and economically beneficial for rural communities. The research question addresses the relationship between a particular college and a specific community. Hayden College was attracted to life in Leigh as a source of learning for its students and to community life in Leigh in particular. The research demonstrates that the school’s vision for its Leigh campus was one based on use of the town environs and interaction with the local people, and that the overarching concept of a community as a classroom entailed Hayden College becoming part of the Leigh community. The nature and quality of the relationship is explored by contrasting the school’s vision with the community’s view of Hayden’s membership of the Leigh community. Inquiry into the idea of a community as a classroom was approached by studying ‘community’ as an ideal concept. The thesis argues that the Hayden in Leigh development is a coincidence of educational and social ideals, clarifying what it means to be part of a community using conceptual analysis of qualitative data collected from the field. The theoretical stance and empirical material in this research show the way in which the power of the concept of community resides at the ideal level. The research finds that the nature of this school-community partnership is characterized by learning exchange and small town renewal but that a threat to the quality of the relationship between college and community is contained in disparate understandings of what constitutes community life. The implications of these findings for the post-Hayden Leigh community and rural schools and communities more generally are that the association of curriculum objectives with community development objectives depends on a healthy reciprocal relationship.<br>Doctor of Philosophy

De, la Rosa-Carrillo Ernesto Leon. "On the language of Internet Memes." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3703692.
Full textAbstract:
<p> Internet Memes transverse and sometimes transcend cyberspace on the back of impossibly cute LOLcats speaking mangled English and the snarky remarks of Image Macro characters always on the lookout for someone to undermine. No longer the abstract notion of a cultural gene that Dawkins (2006) introduced in the late 1970s, memes have now become synonymous with a particular brand of vernacular language that internet users engage by posting, sharing and remixing digital content as they communicate jokes, emotions and opinions. </p><p> For the purpose of this research the language of Internet Memes is understood as visual, succinct and capable of inviting active engagement by users who encounter digital content online that exhibits said characteristics. Internet Memes were explored through an Arts-Based Educational Research framework by first identifying the conventions that shape them and then interrogating these conventions during two distinct research phases. <?Pub _newline>In the first phase the researcher, as a doctoral student in art and visual culture education, engaged class readings and assignments by generating digital content that not only responded to the academic topics at hand but did so through forms associated with Internet Memes like Image Macros and Animated GIFs. In the second phase the researcher became a meme literacy facilitator as learners in three different age-groups were led in the reading, writing and remixing of memes during a month-long summer art camp where they were also exposed to other art-making processes such as illustration, acting and sculpture. Each group of learners engaged age-appropriate meme types: 1) the youngest group, 6 and 7 year-olds, wrote Emoji Stories and Separated at Birth memes; 2) the middle group, 8-10 year-olds, worked with Image Macros and Perception memes, 3) while the oldest group, 11-13 year-olds, generated Image Macros and Animated GIFs. </p><p> The digital content emerging from both research phases was collected as data and analyzed through a hybrid of Memetics, Actor-Network Theory, Object Oriented Ontology, Remix Theory and Glitch Studies as the researcher shifted shapes yet again and became a Research Jockey sampling freely from each field of study. A case is made for Internet Memes to be understood as an actor-network where meme collectives, individual cybernauts, software and source material are all actants interrelating and making each other enact collective agencies through shared authorships. Additionally specific educational contexts are identified where the language of Internet Memes can serve to incorporate technology, storytelling, visual thinking and remix practices into art and visual culture education. </p><p> Finally, the document reporting on the research expands on the hermeneutics of Internet Memes and the phenomenological experiences they elicit that are otherwise absent from traditional scholarly prose. Chapter by chapter the dissertation was crafted as a journey from the academic to the whimsical, from the lecture hall to the image board (where Internet Memes were born), from the written word to the remixed image as a visual language that is equal parts form and content that emerges and culminates in a concluding chapter composed almost entirely of popular Internet Meme types. </p><p> An online component can be found at http://memeducation.org/</p>

Adam, Tas. "Determining an e-learning model for students with learning disabilities : an analysis of web-based technologies and curriculum." Thesis, 2010. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/18969/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the impact of ICT on the learning outcomes for Learning
Disabilities (LD) or special needs students, in a special school setting. The literature
reported a significant prevalence of LD universally, ranging from physical and mild to
extreme disabilities. It highlighted that there are a significant number of students with
learning disabilities who require assistance and support in their learning. Assistive
technology plays a significant role for educators and students with learning disabilities
in facilitating the learning outcomes. The Internet and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) play a major part in shaping the knowledge and skills of LD
students. Assistive technology has introduced awareness for both educators and
students and, for the past decade, there has been a growing effort in designing and
developing ICT based platforms to enhance the learning outcomes of these students.
With the emergence of new technologies like Web 2.0, the need to design appropriate
tools and provide an environment that is conducive to successful learning is stronger.
This thesis examines the various teaching methodologies and ICT innovation in a
holistic way. The literature shows that although there are some studies that investigate
the impact of technology on the learning for special needs students, most of the data are
second source. This study presents results from participant observations in two outer
suburban special schools with students aged between 14-18 years, and in addition,
examines the role and impact of Education Department policies on the schools‘ ICT
environment. These observations are compared with a study based on an individual
case of a student from Prep to Year 12 and TAFE. This study identified different
categories of special needs students who were catered for in these special schools.
These ranged from students with physical or cognitive disabilities, to mainstream
students placed temporarily in a hospital. The latter group received ICT support to
continue their studies which is now facilitated through a virtual classroom environment.

Chenoby, Helen. "The role of ICT in student engagement in learning mathematics in a preparatory university program." Thesis, 2014. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/25852/.
Full textAbstract:
The steady decline of students’ competency in mathematics has become known as the “Mathematics Problem”. Researchers identified that the level of student engagement is one of the most important factors affecting the academic performance of mathematics students. Strong link between students’ attitudes towards the use of technology for learning mathematics and their achievements also has been identified by recent studies. The mathematical problems have a multidimensional source and are initiated from the students’ personal characteristics and attitudes. Thus attitude is important educational concept about learning mathematics with technology. The association between student engagement and the use of ICT suggests that a positive attitude toward the use of ICT in learning mathematics is an important outcome in itself, especially when ICT is used. Student engagement can be influenced by a plethora of factors. These factors include student personal characteristics, learning experiences, perceptions, three aspects of engagement (cognitive, affective and behavioural) and attitudes towards the use of technology in learning of mathematics. This study is aimed at further investigating the factors that might be affected by the use of ICT with two major purposes: (1) to investigate the complex interrelationships between students’ demographic factors, mathematics confidence, access to technology outside university, confidence with technology, perception towards the use of technology for learning and attitude towards learning mathematics with technology, cognitive, affective and behavioural engagement; and student achievement and (2) to determine if the use of ICT impacts on the level of student engagement and achievements in mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
<p dir="ltr">Drawing on the distributive justice ideas of Rawls, Sen, and Roemer, every teenager in an advanced market society should have an equal opportunity to graduate from school with a senior secondary certificate, which embodies a basic competency set for future functionings in society. Society’s government, then, has a moral obligation to ensure sufficient funding for the purchase of adequate recurrent resources by each school. Evidence of unacceptably high levels of non-graduation suggests that governments are not fulfilling this obligation.</p><p dir="ltr">The aim of this thesis was to develop and apply a model for determining the recurrent funding sufficiency for adequate resourcing of the three school sectors (Government, Catholic and Independent) providing senior secondary programs in one advanced market society, the Australian State of Victoria.</p><p dir="ltr">A resource policy cost model, highlighting resource policy variables and, in particular, the senior secondary student-teacher ratio, was derived from the logical decomposition of total recurrent spending. Data pertaining to successful Government schools in 2010 were used to specify, using power regression, the minimum-cost adequate student-teacher ratio needed for any school to attain the target. It was found that, in Victoria in 2010, many schools did not achieve the target minimum graduation rate of 80%, and that their mean student-teacher ratio was below that of the successful schools in each sector, even though there was sufficient funding to each sector. While funding was allocated efficiently in the Government sector, it was not in the Catholic and Independent sectors.</p><p dir="ltr">The findings contradict a recent Australian Government Review of school funding which used a global cost model. More generally, the findings support, in a context outside the USA, the Hanushek view that more money does not necessarily improve student performance. Further, the thesis demonstrates an appropriate approach to school recurrent funding policy is establishing the moral obligation of government, setting a minimum school performance target, using a resource policy cost model highlighting the adequate student-teacher ratio, and estimating future funding need to assess sustainability of the policy.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Libraries have been with us for almost as long as writing; their role, purpose and means of operation have changed greatly over the thousands of years of their existence. Technology simpliciter can be understood as humans at work. The way we work shapes the technologies we use just as technologies shape the way we work. That is, there is a mutual shaping or coconstruction of society and technology. This thesis is a study of libraries and the introduction of Internet technologies. Employing the notion of an open system that is, one which is undergoing constant change, has indeterminate boundaries and means of control, it examines from a sociotechnical viewpoint, informed by Actor-Network Theory, the way the mutual interaction between technologies, society and culture shape the evolution of the system. Data were collected in 1998-9 and 2005 utilizing techniques from both ethnographic and case study research, to capture and illustrate this fluidity. Three libraries in Melbourne, Australia, were objects of this exploratory study with both library staff and users being interviewed and observed as they engaged with Internet technologies as part of their working, studying, communicating or recreational lives. The thesis report seeks to make the reader aware, through a process of reflexive or confessional reporting, the interrelatedness of all the actors (including the researcher), both human and nonhuman, in the evolution and shaping of the system of Internet use in the organizations that were the objects of this study. The resulting study reveals uncertainty, resistance, accommodation, enthusiasm and even failure in the sociotechnical system and serves to illustrate the fallibility of theories that assume society and technology are essentially static categories -especially when applied at the micro level, as here.

Taylor, J. "Professionalisation of veterinary science in Victoria." 1990. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/3536.
Full textAbstract:
Introduction: In the Archives of the University of Melbourne there are two black notebooks containing the handwritten reminiscences of William Tyson Kendall, the “founder of the veterinary profession in Australia”. In fact, Kendall makes very little reference to the veterinary college that he founded, his teaching or the trials that he was to confront, but out of that chance encounter with his notebooks I became interested in the early years of the profession in Victoria; the profession to which Kendall devoted so much of his incredible energy and enthusiasm. Further inquiry only served to enhance this interest, but revealed that there was a paucity not only of primary source material, but also of recorded history. During the course of conversations with both retired and active practitioners, I have frequently been told, and can verify, that veterinarians are great talkers, and many of them are keen to preserve their historical heritage, but are the worst procrastinators when it comes to the written word.

Lopez, Susan. "Indigenous self-determination and early childhood education and care in Victoria." 2008. http://repository.unimelb.edu.au/10187/8551.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores how Victoria’s early childhood community negotiates colonial constructions of Aboriginality around dualisms such as Indigenous/non Indigenous and intersecting constructions of the child as ignorant or innocent of race and power both in concert and conflict with the non Indigenous early childhood community. It found a need for a reconceptualisation of Aboriginality around complexity and multiplicity as well as continuity and uniformity. Such a reconceptualisation can better address those issues of race, culture, identity and racism that see Indigenous communities marginalised within non Indigenous early childhood programs.<br>These negotiations around the colonial and the implications for Indigenous inclusion within the early childhood field are framed within post colonial theory which unites and connects major themes across tensions and contradictions. These themes act as a basis for each data chapter.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>資訊管理學系<br>107<br>With the growing popularity of the internet, motivate the internet-related entrepreneurship. Because of lower entrepreneurial threshold, wide range and direct interaction, make the entrepreneur turn to online entrepreneurship rather than traditional entrepreneurial model. In recent research, we can increase self-efficacy and business intention of the entrepreneur through appropriate entrepreneurship education （EE）. Therefore, many countries have continuously invested resources in the curriculum of entrepreneurship education. However, there are very few research about if improving entrepreneurship education and Internet-entrepreneurial self-efficacy could improve business performance.
This research model investigates the correlation between three aspects: Internet entrepreneurship education, Internet entrepreneurial self-efficacy and Internet entrepreneurial performance. Finally, this study confirms that even in the context of Internet entrepreneurship, Internet entrepreneurship education and Internet-entrepreneurial self-efficacy still have positive correlation, Internet entrepreneurial self-efficacy also have positive correlation with Internet entrepreneurial performance.

Paxton, Fay. "An evaluation of nutrition education in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation programs in Victoria." Thesis, 2003. https://eprints.utas.edu.au/21709/1/whole_PaxtonFay2003_thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs comprise exercise and education,
including nutrition education (NE), and are offered after hospitalisation in order
to minimise the risk of further cardiac events. A five-part evaluation of NE in
outpatient CR programs in Victoria was undertaken. Initially, a survey-based
process evaluation of all outpatient programs (N = 74) found that most had a very
limited amount of NE. Dietary fat was a topic common to all and most programs
used knowledge-based, didactic education that was not based on a specific model
of behaviour change. In a second process evaluation, CR participants (n = 317)
were surveyed by questionnaire before NE. The majority were older, overweight,
English-speaking men who were myocardial infarction and/or cardiac surgery
patients. Knowledge of dietary fat was generally poor but attitude to healthy
eating was positive and fat intake was relatively low. A quasi-experimental
comparison group program trial was used for an impact evaluation of the
effectiveness of NE, with one experimental group (n = 80) having one hour of
NE, a second experimental group (n = 80) having 41/2 hours of NE, with
additional access to the dietitian, and a comparison group (n = 80) having no NE.
The 41/2-hour group improved in attitude to healthy eating and had a greater
improvement in dietary fat knowledge and a greater reduction in fat intake. In a
third survey-based process evaluation, most participants were found to be
satisfied with NE but older participants were less satisfied. The amount of NE
was weakly associated with satisfaction. A one-year follow-up outcome
evaluation of CR participants (n = 44) showed that most were overweight at CR
and had increased their BMI at follow-up. Fat knowledge, attitude and intake had
not changed and subjects' diets generally accorded with recommendations for
patients with heart disease, although mean saturated fat intake was higher. Further
research is required to determine the most appropriate behaviour change model
for NE in CR programs and the most effective format and educational strategies
for facilitating compliance with diets for heart disease.

This research explored the extent to which two hospitals in the City of Victoria are prepared for a future earthquake event. The goal is to examine the level of emergency preparedness of two tertiary care hospitals in Victoria for dealing with the potential damage caused by an earthquake in the region. The research objectives are aimed at highlighting current strengths regarding health sector emergency preparedness, reducing the vulnerability of the health sector by identifying key areas of improvement, and ultimately, increasing the capacity of the health sector to respond to the damages sustained by earthquakes. A small-scale mixed-methods approach was taken to assess hospital preparedness. A structured survey was administered to 26 key informants who were selected specifically based on their prior knowledge, experience and current roles and responsibilities pertaining to Disaster and Emergency Management in the province. A concerted effort was made to include a sample of participants from each of five target populations at the Provincial, Health Authority, and Local Health Authority levels. Data analysis included quantitative and qualitative techniques to generate simple statistics and thematic coding of the interview transcripts to identify main themes and patterns. Both quantitative and qualitative insights were used to provide a clearer picture of hospital preparedness and to foster credibility and dependability of key results. The findings and results confirm that there are excellent levels of engagement and integration between the Local Government, BC Ambulance Service and Fire Departments. There is room for improvement in regards to engaging and integrating NGOs with Hospital planning. Robust plans and protocols were found to be in place for Communication Systems, Emergency Operations Centres and Public Information and Media Relations. Hospital level respondents reported having less Emergency Management education and Training and had participated in fewer disaster exercises compared to Provincial and Local Emergency Managers. Although 76% of respondents had participated in a disaster exercise, only 5 % had responded to an earthquake. Only 23% of respondents had activated their planning in response to an earthquake. The results emphasize the immediate need for increased engagement and integration of earthquake response planning between health system stakeholders, communities and all levels of government. At the hospital level, increased attention needs to be directed to the following operational areas: Mass Casualty Planning, Resource Stockpiling, Department Level Contingency Plans, Evacuation and Relocation Protocols and Procedures, Volunteer Coordination Protocols, and Internal and External Traffic flow. Lastly, the results highlight the need for increased disaster education and training for front line acute care employees, hospital administrators and management staff. In addition to training and education, multi-jurisdictional and multi-agency exercises should be undertaken to engage all key community stakeholders and to promote a more integrated and optimal response in the event of an earthquake.<br>Graduate
