Non-government schools in Queensland must be accredited by the Non-State Schools Accreditation Board established by the Queensland Government under the Education(Accreditation of Non-State Schools) Act 2001 in order to operate the school.In 2005, there were 457 non-government schools registered in Queensland with the Non-State Schools Accreditation Board (Non-State Schools Accreditation Board 2005). The enrolment of 207,859 students constituted approximately 30 per cent of student enrolments in the State. Government funding to non-government schools is substantial (general recurrent funding of $303 million was provided by the Queensland government in 2002) (Non-State Schools Accreditation Board 2005).The accreditation criteria set out in the Act are: the school’s administration and governance arrangements; the school’s financial viability; the school’s educational program and student welfare processes; the school’s resources; and the school’s improvement processes. The Education (Accreditation of Non-State Schools) Regulation 2001 provides further details on the requirements of the accreditation for all criteria, except for governance and administration criterion. This is the major gap addressed by this research.The methodology for doing so was:• a theoretical framework for effective corporate governance developed from the relevant literature• case studies of six non-government schools with a range of ownership/governance models to identify their current governance policies and practices and to compare them with the theoretical framework to assess their effectiveness• a suite of policies and procedures based on the theoretical framework and “standout” practice from the six case study schools that would provide an effective corporate governance practice for non-government schools.The potential clients of this research are:• The Office of Non-State Education• Independent Schools Queensland (“ISQ”)• Auspicing denomination or other ownership group of schools, their governing bodies and the auditors of non-government schools; including, but not only, the case study schools• Newly accredited schools wishing to start well. Of particular interest to the researcher is Warwick Christian College Limited, a newly accredited school of which the researcher is a Board member. The Board of the school has agreed to embark on a policy development process which is consistent with the findings of this research.A suite of recommended policies and procedures that non-government schools could adopt in order to comply with the administration and governance criteria of the Education (Accreditation of Non-State Schools) Act 2001 was developed from the theoretical framework and the “standout” practices, policies and procedures from the case study schools.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Este trabalho relata um estudo do tipo etnogrÃfico na investigaÃÃo do papel do lÃdico nas escolas de EducaÃÃo Infantil, realizando uma comparaÃÃo entre as instituiÃÃes pÃblicas e privadas. A pesquisa foi realizada em quatro escolas da cidade de BrasÃlia, sendo uma pÃblica e uma particular, que ofereciam apenas EducaÃÃo Infantil, denominadas como escolas de pequeno porte, e duas escolas, uma pÃblica e uma particular, que ofereciam EducaÃÃo Infantil e Ensino Fundamental, denominadas como escolas de grande porte. As visitas aconteceram durante um semestre, sendo dois dias por semana em cada estabelecimento. Foram observadas em cada escola duas turmas: uma de crianÃas de quatro anos e uma de crianÃas de seis anos. Os procedimentos metodolÃgicos utilizados foram a observaÃÃo participante, conversas informais, entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os professores das turmas observadas e anÃlise da proposta pedagÃgica das escolas. Os instrumentos de coleta utilizados foram o diÃrio de campo e o gravador no momento das entrevistas. A observaÃÃo ocorreu durante todo o turno, desde a hora da chegada atà o momento da saÃda das crianÃas, de modo que se pÃde perceber as prÃticas lÃdicas realizadas nos vÃrios espaÃos da escola: sala, pÃtio, parque, entre outros. Mediante a observaÃÃo, foi possÃvel verificar a organizaÃÃo do espaÃo, tempo, brinquedos, equipamentos destinados Ãs atividades lÃdicas, a dinÃmica e o sentido atribuÃdo pelo professor Ãs prÃticas lÃdicas infantis. Pela anÃlise dos dados obtidos durante a pesquisa, verificou-se que tanto as escolas particulares como as pÃblicas, de BrasÃlia, tÃm um espaÃo preparado para a brincadeira, principalmente no que se refere à existÃncia de parques. Verificou-se, tambÃm, em ambas as realidades educacionais, que nem todas as atividades lÃdicas na escola tÃm o objetivo de ensejar um momento que valorize o lÃdico enquanto tal. A modo de conclusÃo, admite-se a idÃia de que o papel exercido pelo lÃdico nas escolas de EducaÃÃo Infantil, tanto na rede pÃblica quanto no sistema particular de ensino, està relacionado principalmente à natureza da proposta pedagÃgica da escola, bem como ao sentido atribuÃdo pelo professor Ãs atividades lÃdicas. / This study reports an ethnographic type investigation into the role of play in infant education making a comparison between private and state institutions. The research was carried out at four schools in Brazilia; two âsmallâ schools which offer only infant education, one private and one public, and two âlargeâ schools which offer both infant and junior education, one private and one public. Two visits per week were made to each school during one semester. Two classes were observed in each school, one of four-year-old and another of six-year-old children. The methodology applied was participative observation, informal conversation, semi-structured interviews with the teachers of the groups observed and analysis of the pedagogical project of the schools. Data was collected in a field diary and by tape recording the interviews. Whole school days were observed from the time of arrival to the children leaving so that play activities could be observed in every part of the school: in the classroom, patio and play ground among others. By means of observation, the organization of space, time, toys and equipment destined for play activities and the dynamics and sense attributed to the practice of play by the teacher could all be verified. Analyzing the data obtained during the research it was possible to affirm that both private and state schools in Brazilia have areas prepared for play, principally playgrounds, but also that in neither case did all such activities take the opportunity to value play for its own sake. It was concluded that the role play has in both private and state infant schools is principally related to the nature of the schoolâs pedagogic project as well as the sense attributed to play by the teacher.
