Nurse education in Western Australia from 1962-1975: A historical perspective of influences and changesPiercey, Carol Ann January 2002 (has links)
National trends in nurse education have changed from the Nightingale system of on-the-job training to a professional preparation in institutions of higher learning. Western Australia was one of the first States in Australia to commence a professional preparation of nurses at an institution of higher education in 1975. Graduates of the program were presented with their Bachelor of Applied Science from the Western Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University of Technology), in March 1979. This thesis seeks to answer the question concerning the genesis of such an event. The focus of the study is primarily to follow the progress of general nurse education in Western Australia and to highlight the accompanying influences that shaped its development. The purpose of this study was to explore, analyse, interpret and describe the history of nurse education in Western Australia from 1962-1975. The study used a pluralistic approach employing a variety of historical methods. The research commenced with broad questions and ideas developed from documents and people. The process of data collection, historical criticism and analysis took place simultaneously. The synthesis was written as a chronological narrative. The material of the study thus 'spoke' for itself by providing answers to questions raised during the investigation. The history of nurse education from 1962 to 1975 revealed visible milestones that represented nurse education reform. Beginning from the antecedents of the study these were the sanctioning of a review of nurse training in 1960 together with the commencement of the Western Australian Nursing Survey and the appointment of the Nurses Registration Board Education Officer. In 1962 the survey was completed. / It exposed the deficits of nurse training which led to the development of a new Hospital Based Diploma curriculum and an Associate Diploma in Nursing in 1966. The establishment of the College of Nursing Australia Western Australian Branch in 1966 paved the way to solve the shortage of tutors to implement the Hospital Based Diploma. The Nurses Act in 1970 enhanced the plans for implementing the Hospital Based Diploma and conferred autonomy to the Nurses Registration Board. In 1973 the first independent school of nursing came into being. The Western Australian School of Nursing carried the hopes of a continuation of hospital nurse training. In 1974, however, the entry of students to the Western Australian Institute of Technology School of Nursing saw a turn of events that led to a degree for nurses in 1975 and a decision for the transfer of all nurse education in Western Australia to the Western Australian Institute of Technology. These milestones did not emerge as an accident of history. There were forces that facilitated and impeded the perceptibility of the reform landmarks. These were crucial in the shaping the history of nurse education in Western Australia from 1962-1975.

Working with teachers : the implementation and evaluation of an innovative in-service programmeWilliamson, John January 1987 (has links)
This thesis is concerned with the development and evaluation of a new approach to helping teachers change their classroom practice. The model adopted combined elements from the action-research model and the 'coaching' model, and findings from the curriculum implementation studies. Governments are concerned increasingly to introduce new centralised curricula in response to social changes or economic pressures. In the community there are calls for widespread reform of schooling at all levels. Also, with changes in their career patterns it is imperative that teachers, who are likely to be teaching for thirty or forty years, have available a sustained programme of professional development. Regardless of the origins of the calls for change, to be successful the introduction of a new school practice must be accompanied by a corollary programme of teacher education. Typically, however, in-service education has lacked direction, been inappropriate and been poorly executed. While the focus of the thesis is upon the fidelity of implementation of the new teaching strategy, it also reports on the teachers' understandings of the classroom dynamics, their feelings of self-confidence and perceptions of his or her principal as a supporter of classroom innovation. In the present economic and political climate judgements must be made about the worth of particular in-service programmes. Several important dimensions of an in-service programme were used to compare the innovative model with an action-research model and a 'typical' in-service model. On the criteria considered the innovative model fared better than the other two models. Recent changes to in-service education in the U.K., announced in DES Circular 6/86, have meant a high degree of similarity in the espoused purposes and procedures of the British and Australian Governments. The in-service programme outlined here is well-suited to the new in-service policies and financial arrangements in both countries.

Through others' eyes : intercultural education in the Australian context : the case for global and regional educationBuchanan, John D., University of Western Sydney, College of Arts, Education and Social Sciences, School of Social Ecology and Lifelong Learning January 2004 (has links)
The overarching theme of this doctoral portfolio is the issue of intercultural education. Linked to this are several sub-themes: teacher excellence and professional development; curriculum development and the acquisition of values and attitudes. These themes have been developed through studies of Asia and global education in the Australian context. One major outcome of this research is the development of a hybrid theoretical model, based on two pre-existing models, for examining curriculum in schools, as it is expressed in artefacts such as scope and sequence documents, as well as through practice and discourse by teachers and students. The research also generated a continuum to measure the effectiveness and extent of curricular change. The combination of these two artefacts provides an instrument for examining and mapping the progress and processes of curricular change with regard to fields such as studies of Asia. The model and other findings from this series of studies also pave the way for further examining the processes and outcomes of curricular change. / Doctor of Education (D.Ed.)

Control of state school curriculum in South Australia : issues arising from the vesting of authority in the Director-General, and with particular reference to the period 1970-1985 / Alan Smithson.Smithson, Alan January 1997 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 387-404. / xix, 404 leaves ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / South Australia is unique amongst Australian States insofar as s82(1) of the Education Act 1972 vests the director-General of Education, rather than the minister of Education, with de jure control of State school curriculum. This locus of control is at odds with the well-established democratic convention that Ministers control the directive policy components of their portfolios. This thesis describes how this mode of curriculum control came about, its nature and implications, and mounts a challenge to its legitimacy.
