  • Northern Territory Department of Education Submission
    DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Northern Territory Department of Education Submission Inquiry into the Education of Students in Remote and Complex Environments The Northern Territory (NT) Department of Education seeks to provide a submission to the inquiry into the education of students in remote and complex environments, commissioned by the Standing Committee on Employment, Education and Training. The submission aims to highlight the unique circumstances experienced by students in NT remote and very remote communities and how the department is adapting its service delivery, using innovative approaches, to meet their needs. The NT Government recognises the critical role of culture, family, community and country in delivering better outcomes, particularly for Aboriginal people. There are a number of initiatives underway that target these core factors while balancing the complexities of delivering government services in remote and very remote communities. Remote and very remote Territory context The NT is the most remote jurisdiction in Australia, with approximately 245 000 people spread across one sixth of Australia’s land mass. Over 40 per cent of the population is considered to live in remote or very remote areas. The overwhelming majority of residents living in remote communities are Aboriginal Territorians, with a much younger population on average than other parts of Australia. Unemployment is high and there are significant health issues. Fifty-four per cent of remote households and 12 per cent of very remote communities speak English in the home. Most children attending school in remote or very remote communities only speak English at school, not in their community or in their home. The transitional nature of community life, and movement of families between communities can be disruptive to a child’s education, particularly when this movement occurs across multiple jurisdictions, such as the NT, Western Australia and South Australia borders.

  • Constructing the Australian School History Curriculum: Ideology, High Politics and the History Wars in the Howard Years
    Chapter 2 Constructing the Australian School History Curriculum: Ideology, High Politics and the History Wars in the Howard Years Tony Taylor This chapter is a substantially revised and expanded version of a keynote address “Disputed Territory: Who Owns History in Schools?” given at the Australian National University Research School of Social Sciences’ conference “Governing by looking back” 12–14 December (2007). The relevant official government papers for the summit, including an edited transcript of proceedings, have been archived on the Department of Employment Education and Workplace Relations website at http://www.dest.gov.au/sectors/school_education/ policy_initiatives_reviews/key_issues/Australian_History/ (as at July 2009) 2.1 Background to Policy and History Curriculum In 1996, a Liberal/National conservative coalition was victorious in the Australian March general election and coalition leader, John Howard, became the nation’s 25th prime minister. Howard’s accession, bolstered by a large majority, came following his own long and difficult political apprenticeship and after 13 years of Labour federal government. Although focused throughout his next three administrations on the big political issue including race relations, immigration policy, Middle East conflict, privatisation and industrial relations, Howard still kept time for history, which, after small beginnings, began to loom increasingly large in the prime minister’s con- sciousness. This incipient public attention to history began in 1996 in his Sir Thomas Playford memorial speech where he accused “cultural dieticians in our midst” of attempting to “rewrite Australian history in the service of a partisan political cause.”1 His comments were aimed at academics and others who favoured what had already been referred to by conservatively inclined historian Geoffrey Blainey as the “black armband” view of Australia’s past.

  • Curriculum Change and Teachers' Responses: a NSW Case Study
    Curriculum change and teachers’ responses: a NSW case study Linda Merewyn Lorenza A thesis submitted for fulfillment requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The Sydney School of Education and Social Work Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2018 i Statement of originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any degree or other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Linda Merewyn Lorenza ii Abstract This thesis reports on the findings of a study into NSW Arts teachers’ perceptions of curriculum change in the Arts in the Australian context. From 2015 Australian schools began to engage with a national curriculum in the Arts. There are considerable implications for both practice and policy. Teachers’ willingness to adopt a new curriculum and adapt to change is a mitigating factor. This research focussed on NSW drama, music and visual arts teachers’ perceptions of curriculum change from the state curriculum they currently teach, to the incoming Australian arts curriculum. Research was qualitative and employed a case study approach (G. Thomas, 2010) including the use of in-depth interview and document analysis. The opinions of the case study participants in this particular study reflect some and oppose other views expressed in consultation reports, which reflect the wide consultation conducted by the Australian Curriculum Assessment Reporting Authority (ACARA) during the development of the Australian arts curriculum.

  • Secondary Education) (Nqf Level 8
    BACHELOR OF EDUCATION HONOURS (SECONDARY EDUCATION) (NQF LEVEL 8) PURPOSE OF THE QUALIFICATION The main purpose of Bachelor of Education in secondary Education honours qualification is to produce professionally qualified teachers who are able to apply a combination of subject matter knowledge with the relevant pedagogical approaches to ensure improved learning outcomes under various contexts. The qualification will contribute to the national efforts for the production of innovative and competent Secondary school teachers who would make lasting impressions in the lives of learners. The qualification will also equip teachers with the necessary teaching skills, competencies, and strategies to be effective secondary school teachers, academic manager and administrators. Namibia’s Occupational Demand and Supply Outlook Model (NODSOM) of 2012 and other reports issued by the Ministry of Education highlight the shortage of professionally qualified teachers at all levels of the education system in Namibia. The Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Honours has been developed in response to the high demand for appropriately qualified teachers in Namibia. The rationale for the development of this qualification was motivated by the need to meet the above mentioned challenge because the targets cannot be achieved without the necessary inputs from qualified teachers who are able to implement the national curriculum and assessments. OUTCOMES FOR THE WHOLE QUALIFICATION Holders of this qualification are able to: • Teach secondary school subjects of their respective
