In their move to school, children and their family are faced with significant changes in their relationships, environment and routine. In this article, the experiences of a group of children transitioning into a new entrant (NE) school classroom from their early childhood centre (ECE) are discussed. As they began adapting to the new social and geographical climate of school, the use of digital images and transitional objects became a foundational tool to support them in forming a connection and sense of belonging in this new place. Through the combination of these images and transitional objects there is potential to support their roleplay, enabling them to rehearse social and geographical scenarios that are affecting them in their world. This article will discuss that play is the medium through which children can show teachers where they are in their understandings, in effect planning their own next steps in their transition journey. This emphasises the importance of the NE teacher observing children’s play to provide a thorough and responsive transition plan.
孩子们和他们的家庭在他们的关系、环境和日常生活中都面临着重大的变化。在这篇文章中,讨论了一群孩子从他们的幼儿中心(ECE)过渡到新进入者(NE)学校教室的经历。当他们开始适应学校的新社会和地理气候时,数字图像和过渡物体的使用成为支持他们在这个新地方形成联系和归属感的基本工具。通过这些图像和过渡物体的结合,有可能支持他们的角色扮演,使他们能够排练在他们的世界中影响他们的社会和地理场景。这篇文章将讨论游戏是一种媒介,孩子们可以通过它向老师展示他们的理解,从而有效地规划他们在过渡过程中的下一步。这就强调了小学教师观察儿童游戏的重要性,以提供一个全面的、响应性的过渡计划。

De-privatisation of classrooms is characterised by formal and informal invitations to colleagues to access classroom management, pedagogical approaches and teaching practices. This case study of six secondary schools examined the perceptions and practices of de-privatised practice amongst Fijian urban, rural and remote area teachers. Quantitative and qualitative data was generated from a total of 197 online questionnaires and 48 face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Key findings of the research were, firstly, that school geographical locations had no impact on teachers’ perceptions and practices of classroom de-privatisation. Secondly, de-privatised practices are impacted on by individual, group, school and governmental factors. Thirdly, in Fiji the consistent drive to de-privatise classrooms is lacking, as the policies do not support such reforms. Nonetheless, teacher perceptions validated the belief that classroom de-privatisation enhances teacher professional growth that promotes improved student learning. These findings have implications for the design of teachers’ professional learning communities (PLCs) in Fiji and beyond.
课堂去私有化的特点是正式和非正式地邀请同事参与课堂管理、教学方法和教学实践。这项针对六所中学的案例研究调查了斐济城市、农村和偏远地区教师对非私有化做法的看法和做法。定量和定性数据来自总共197份在线问卷和48份面对面半结构化访谈。研究的主要发现是,首先,学校地理位置对教师对课堂去私有化的看法和做法没有影响。其次,去私有化实践受到个人、群体、学校和政府因素的影响。第三,在斐济,由于政策不支持这种改革,因此缺乏持续推动教室非私有化的动力。尽管如此,教师的看法证实了这样一种信念,即课堂去私有化促进了教师的专业成长,从而促进了学生的学习。这些发现对斐济及其他地区教师专业学习社区的设计具有启示意义。

Augmented Reality: Examining its value in a music technology classroom. Practice and potential. 增强现实:在音乐技术课堂上检验其价值。练习和潜力。

Augmented reality (AR) provides exciting opportunities for advancing the design and practice of classroom instruction. AR can facilitate unique opportunities for students to conceptualise, understand and recall learning content. AR offers students contextual learning experiences. These views suggest that AR can assist in reducing distances between learner’s knowledge and what they need to understand. In my senior music classroom, I tested these ideas, wanting to see if students, through using AR, could visualise relationships between component parts, describe their function and use that knowledge in practice. The focus centred on students need to construct a sound system for performance in a Year 12 music class (16–17 years old). The project question was; Would AR aid the understanding and conceptualisation of content and develop the quality and retention of their learning? Through observation, interviews and a questionnaire, I used these data to understand levels of knowledge retention, conceptualisation and understanding of content. Findings indicate that while students displayed content conceptualisation skills, they also showed secure knowledge retention in line with previous studies. An encouraging finding suggests that in using AR, students retained what they had learned, remembering the function and use of various components after one learning experience. The potential impact of new and emerging technologies such as AR on student progress and instructional design is exciting, offering alternative ways of delivering and mediating learning content and concepts that connect with teaching and learning.
增强现实(AR)为推进课堂教学的设计和实践提供了令人兴奋的机会。增强现实可以为学生概念化、理解和回忆学习内容提供独特的机会。AR为学生提供情境学习体验。这些观点表明,增强现实可以帮助减少学习者的知识和他们需要理解的东西之间的距离。在我的高级音乐课堂上,我测试了这些想法,想看看学生们是否可以通过使用AR来可视化组件之间的关系,描述它们的功能并在实践中使用这些知识。在12年级(16-17岁)的音乐课上,重点是学生需要建立一个演奏的音响系统。项目的问题是;AR是否有助于理解和概念化内容,并提高他们的学习质量和记忆力?通过观察,访谈和问卷调查,我使用这些数据来了解知识保留,概念化和对内容的理解水平。研究结果表明,在学生表现出内容概念化技能的同时,他们也表现出与先前研究一致的安全知识保留。一个令人鼓舞的发现表明,在使用AR时,学生保留了他们所学的知识,在一次学习经历后记住了各种组件的功能和使用方法。AR等新兴技术对学生进步和教学设计的潜在影响令人兴奋,提供了与教学和学习相关的学习内容和概念的传递和调解的替代方式。

This paper explores the perceptions and lived experiences of Nepalese educators and stakeholders in relation to the school curriculum and its influence upon student learning in a culturally and ethnically diverse classroom context. The study adopted a qualitative research design using face-to-face semistructured interviews and focus group discussions to gather the perceptions of students, teachers, school principals and curriculum experts from three different schools representing distinct and diverse Nepalese settings. The findings identified that there are six main factors that affect curriculum delivery in Nepal: a centralised education system; social, economic and cultural diversity; political instability; curriculum content; the involvement of curriculum development stakeholders; and teachers’ content and pedagogical knowledge and related attributes. These six factors all contribute to a significant influence on student learning.

The occurrence of research collaboration among multiple researchers is becoming more widespread within the academic research community. Research collaboration endeavours offer many benefits yet are not without challenges. This think piece draws on our lived experiences as educators and university researchers to evaluate a research collaboration journey. The process prompted us to deeply question and critically reflect on what enables and supports research collaboration in academic research partnerships. We undertook a critical reflective-in-action study collecting and analysing data for a period of 15 months. We uncovered three elements we propose are integral to supporting effective research collaboration practice and outcomes in academia. These are Acknowledging the Affective, Becoming Bolder, and Cultivating Creativity in what we term, the ‘ABCs of collaboration in academia.
多名研究人员之间的研究合作在学术研究界变得越来越普遍。研究合作提供了许多好处,但也并非没有挑战。这篇思考文章借鉴了我们作为教育工作者和大学研究人员的生活经验来评估研究合作之旅。这个过程促使我们深刻地质疑和批判性地反思是什么促成和支持学术研究伙伴关系中的研究合作。我们进行了一项重要的反思性行动研究,收集和分析了15个月的数据。我们提出了支持学术界有效研究合作实践和成果的三个要素。这些是承认情感、变得更大胆和培养创造力,我们称之为学术界合作的“abc”。

Carefully observing young children at play in a mathematically rich environment has led me to reflect on the way children naturally pose and solve interesting mathematical challenges. Here, three examples of the playful learning of six-year-old children illustrate the problem solving and persistence children can display. Teachers are encouraged to foster children’s problem posing by providing opportunities for children to engage with playful mathematics, planning time for children to pose and to solve their own problems, and watching and listening but intervening only to inspire children’s mathematical investigations.
仔细观察在数学丰富的环境中玩耍的幼儿,让我反思孩子们自然提出和解决有趣的数学挑战的方式。这里有三个六岁孩子的游戏学习的例子,说明孩子们可以表现出解决问题和坚持不懈的能力。鼓励教师通过为孩子们提供参与有趣的数学的机会来培养孩子们的问题提出,为孩子们安排时间来提出和解决他们自己的问题,观察和倾听,但只干预以激发孩子们的数学研究。

D. Chand, Parmeshwar Prasad Mohan
This research examined the impact of school location on teaching and learning through a case study of two urban, two rural and two remote Fijian secondary schools. A total of 48 semi-structured interviews were conducted: 16 from each category of urban, rural and remote. Each school was represented by three teachers, three heads of department and two administrators. The study established that rural and remote schools often face different challenges to their urban counterparts: geography, poverty and funding influence the quality of education. Leadership support and adequate resources are the key to breaking the overreliance on traditional methods of teaching and enhancing student classroom interest and participation. Finally, just as schools serve different communities, geographical location impacts on external links, cooperation and professional exchange and development. Understanding the impact of school locality on teaching and learning in Fiji should benefit other developing nations and the educational community at large.
本研究通过对斐济两所城市、两所农村和两所偏远中学的案例研究,考察了学校位置对教学的影响。共进行了48次半结构化访谈:城市、农村和偏远地区各16次。每所学校由三名教师、三名系主任和两名行政人员代表。这项研究证实,农村和偏远地区的学校往往面临着与城市学校不同的挑战:地理、贫困和资金对教育质量的影响。领导的支持和充足的资源是打破对传统教学方法的过度依赖,提高学生课堂兴趣和参与度的关键。最后,正如学校服务于不同的社区一样,地理位置影响着外部联系、合作和专业交流与发展。了解学校地方性对斐济教与学的影响,将有利于其他发展中国家和整个教育界。

Mathematics teachers’ professional learning: Impact of story sharing and reflective dialogue 数学教师专业学习:故事分享与反思性对话的影响
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-11-21 DOI: 10.15663/wje.v24i2.668
Parmeshwar Prasad Mohan, D. Chand
This research examined the impact of story sharing and reflective dialogue on mathematics teachers’ professional learning in Fiji. Employing a qualitative research methodology, semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from nine Fijian secondary school mathematics teachers. The study established that: 1) teachers improve their instructional practice when they share stories of classroom experiences of teaching with their colleagues and collectively reflect on those stories; 2) the truth of stories is that those that are concrete and willingly shared are powerful in transferring rich knowledge; and 3) when teachers share their stories with their colleagues and engage in reflective dialogue, it provides rich conversations that enhances teachers’ professional growth. Understanding the impact of story sharing and reflective dialogue could provide policy makers and administrators with valuable insights into how to best accommodate into educational policy to enhance teachers’ professional growth.
本研究考察了故事分享和反思性对话对斐济数学教师专业学习的影响。采用质性研究方法,采用半结构化访谈收集了9名斐济中学数学教师的数据。研究发现:1)教师通过与同事分享课堂教学经历故事并进行集体反思,提高了教师的教学实践水平;2)故事的真相是,那些具体的、愿意分享的故事在传递丰富知识方面具有强大的力量;3)当教师与同事分享他们的故事并进行反思性对话时,它提供了丰富的对话,促进教师的专业成长。了解故事分享和反思对话的影响可以为政策制定者和管理者提供有价值的见解,帮助他们了解如何最好地适应教育政策,以促进教师的专业成长。

Negotiating conflicting discourses of quality teaching in Fiji: Initial teacher education and practicum at the University of the South Pacific 协商斐济质量教学的冲突话语:南太平洋大学的初级教师教育和实习
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2019-05-17 DOI: 10.15663/WJE.V24I1.647

This article identifies a number of conflicting discourses informing education in Fiji and their impact on Initial Teacher Education (ITE) students. The socially constructivist progressivism of the Ministry of Education and the ITE provider is being eroded by a set of socially conservative discourses symptomatic of neoliberal education reforms elsewhere. It is the Practicum where the conflict is most acutely evidenced. To highlight the conflict 90 ITE students, as ethno-graphic fieldworkers, have used an accepted quality teaching checklist to record the teaching they witnessed while on practicum. The resulting misalignments between discourses of quality teaching identified in this article and highlighted by ITE students contributes to debates about what constitutes effective teaching in Fiji. Additionally, despite the multi-discursive reality of Fijian education the article suggests ITE based on a learning-centred rather than learner-centred approach where teachers make critical choices for teaching based on links between pedagogy, context and consequence.
本文指出斐济教育中存在一些相互冲突的话语,以及它们对初级教师教育(ITE)学生的影响。教育部和it提供者的社会建构主义进步主义正在被其他地方新自由主义教育改革的社会保守主义话语所侵蚀。冲突最明显地体现在实习中。为了强调这一冲突,90名理工学院学生作为民族地理学的实地工作者,使用了一份公认的教学质量检查表来记录他们在实习期间目睹的教学。这篇文章中提到的高质量教学话语之间的错位,以及ITE学生所强调的,引发了关于什么是斐济有效教学的争论。此外,尽管斐济教育存在多元话语的现实,但文章建议基于以学习为中心而非以学习者为中心的信息技术教育方法,在这种方法中,教师根据教学法、背景和结果之间的联系对教学做出关键选择。

The socially constructivist progressivism of the Ministry of Education and the ITE provider is being eroded by a set of socially conservative discourses symptomatic of neoliberal education reforms elsewhere. It is the Practicum where the conflict is most acutely evidenced. To highlight the conflict 90 ITE students, as ethno-graphic fieldworkers, have used an accepted quality teaching checklist to record the teaching they witnessed while on practicum. The resulting misalignments between discourses of quality teaching identified in this article and highlighted by ITE students contributes to debates about what constitutes effective teaching in Fiji. Additionally, despite the multi-discursive reality of Fijian education the article suggests ITE based on a learning-centred rather than learner-centred approach where teachers make critical choices for teaching based on links between pedagogy, context and consequence.","PeriodicalId":37007,"journal":{"name":"Waikato Journal of Education","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87854356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An old story, a new voice: Tertiary education in the Bay of Plenty region 一个古老的故事,一个新的声音:丰盛湾地区的高等教育

In this article, I first critique neoliberal effects on the Aotearoa New Zealand tertiary education sector and then provide a close-up look at tertiary education in the Bay of Plenty region. Information is based on aspects of my doctoral research which was located across three tertiary education organisations comprising the Bay of Plenty Tertiary Education Partnership: The University of Waikato, Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology and, Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.  The findings of this research examine connections across the partnership, delving into relevant aspects of universities, polytechnics and wānanga. I evaluate the historical, geographical, political and socio-cultural context of all three institutions. Lastly, I discuss campus connections between the partnership organisations. The emerging picture reveals an old story of expansion and growth with a new voice of tension between collaboration and competition in the face of a neoliberal education context. This article offers timely implications for contemporary and future University of Waikato campus connections and may appeal to academics, graduate students, policymakers and the general public.  
在这篇文章中,我首先批评了新自由主义对新西兰高等教育部门的影响,然后对丰盛湾地区的高等教育进行了近距离观察。这些信息是基于我的博士研究的各个方面,这些研究位于三个高等教育机构,包括丰盛湾高等教育合作伙伴关系:怀卡托大学、Toi Ohomai理工学院和the Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi。这项研究的结果考察了整个合作关系的联系,深入研究了大学、理工学院和wānanga的相关方面。我评估了这三个机构的历史、地理、政治和社会文化背景。最后,我讨论了合作伙伴组织之间的校园联系。新出现的图景揭示了一个关于扩张和增长的古老故事,在面对新自由主义教育背景下,合作与竞争之间的紧张关系发出了新的声音。这篇文章为怀卡托大学当代和未来的校园联系提供了及时的启示,可能对学者、研究生、政策制定者和公众有吸引力。
