Abstract:
Through a longitudinal study of one teacher's science teaching practice set in the context of her base school, this thesis records the effects of the structural and policy changes that have occurred in Victorian education over the past 6-7 years - the 'Kennett era'. Initially, the purpose of the study was to investigate the teacher's practice with the view to improving it. For this, an action research approach was adopted. Across the year 1998, the teacher undertook an innovative science program with two grades, documenting the approach and outcomes. Several other teachers were involved in the project and their personal observations and comments were to form part of the data. This research project was set in the context of a single primary school and case study methodology was used to document the broader situational and daily influences which affected the teacher's practice. It was apparent soon after starting the action research that there were factors which did not allow for the development of the project along the intended lines. By the end of the project, the teacher felt that the action research had been distorted - specifically there had been no opportunity for critical reflection. The collaborative nature of the project did not seem to work. The teacher started to wonder just what had gone wrong. It was only after a break from the school environment that the teacher-researcher had the opportunity to really reflect on what had been happening in her teaching practice. This reflection took into account the huge amount of data generated from the context of the school but essentially reflected on the massive number of changes that were occurring in all schools. Several issues began to emerge which directly affected teaching practice and determined whether teachers had the opportunity to be self-reflective. These issues were identified as changes in curriculum and the teaching role, increased workload, changed power relations and changed security/morale on the professional context. This thesis investigates the structural and policy changes occurring in Victorian education by reference to documentation and the lived experiences of teachers. It studies how the emerging issues affect the practices of teachers, particularly the teacher-researcher. The case study has now evolved to take in the broader context of the policy and structural changes whilst the action research has expanded to look at the ability of a teacher to be self-reflective: a meta-action research perspective. In concluding, the teacher-researcher reflects on the significance of the research in light of the recent change in state government and the increased government importance placed on science education in the primary context.

Abstract:
This study examines how first year principals learn their roles and provides the picture through their eyes. As there is no formal preparation requirement to become a principal in Victorian government schools, new principals must seek out and direct their own learning for the role. The study describes the informal and formal sources of learning that are sought by beginning principals to help them learn about their new role. The focus is on identifying what sources of learning were used through different phases of the study and how some became more critical than others in shaping and developing the role of a principal in the school. This thesis is a story of continuous professional socialization and learning of a group of seven beginning principals using case studies and interviews over four phases of learning in their first year in the role as they proceed from appointment, entry, establishment through to consolidation of the role. The process of socialization underpins the study and is conceived as a process of learning in which the participants actively direct and participate in their own socialization. However, greater emphasis is placed on the developing nature and reliance on learning in role development. Previous studies of professional socialization of beginning principals have identified licensure programs as significant in the preparation and ongoing development process, whereas this is not the case in Victoria where no such requirements exist. This study adds to existing studies through the finding that there are similarities in the stages of professional socialization process in the Australian context, but also explores new aspects about professional learning by identifying various phases and sources of learning for Victorian principals. These ranged from dependence upon an apprenticeship arrangement, through self-directed task learning, to that of becoming an independent learner within a professional community of equals. Some of the themes identified and explored in this study included examining phases of learning, sources of learning, and their effect on role development. The study was initially based on identifying and exploring some of the key issues and the significance of learning experiences suggested by the beginning principals rather than researching predetermined hypotheses. This grounded and qualitative approach involved data collection over four different time phases in the first year in the role and allowed flexibility in the construction of case studies and the cumulative development of data through the study. The greater part of the data were collected through interviews in each of the four phases of the study along with the collection of survey data for comparison and contrast in the first and final study phases. The research raises many issues that can serve as a basis for further exploration of the complexity of the role of learning within professional socialization for beginning principals. As well, it suggests a number of implications for the organization of professional learning and socialization in beginning principal socialization for the first year in the role.

Abstract:
Despite the considerable significance of publicly funded education in the making of Australian society, state school histories are few in number. In comparison, most corporate and private schools have cemented their sense of community and tradition through full-length publications. This history attempts to redress this imbalance. It is an important social history because this school, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School can trace its origins back to 1905, to the very beginnings of state secondary education when the Melbourne Continuation School (MCS), later Melbourne High School (MHS) and Melbourne Girls' high School (MGHS) was established. Since it is now recognised that there are substantial state, regional and other differences between schools and their local communities, studies of individual schools are needed to underpin more general overviews of particular issues. This history, then, has wider significance: it traces strands of the development of girls' education in Victoria, thus examining the significance and dynamics of single-sex schooling, the education of girls more generally, and, importantly, girls' own experiences (and memories of experiences) of secondary schooling, as well as the meaning they made of those experiences. 'Girls, Education and Empowerment: A History of The Mac.Robertson Girls' High School 1905-2005', departs from traditional models of school history writing that tend to focus on the decision-makers and bureaucrats in education as well as documenting the most 'successful' former students who have made their mark in the world. Drawing on numerous narrative sources and documentary evidence, this history is organised thematically to contextualise and examine what is was like, and meant, to be a girl at this school (Melbourne Continuation School 1905-12; Melbourne High School 1912-27; Melbourne Girls' High School 1927-34, and Mac.Robertson Girls' High School from 1934) during a century of immense social, economic, political and educational change.

Abstract:
This study was conducted in response to the policies for the integration of children with behaviour disorders in Victorian and New South Wales Primary Schools. These two states were selected for this study for three reasons. Firstly, the two states have adopted and are implementing integration policies which are, in many areas, contrasting. Secondly, compared to other Australian states, Victoria and New South Wales have the most children enrolled in their respective school systems and, hence the largest number of children whose schooling is influenced by these policy decisions. Thirdly, the integration policies of both states group children with behaviour disorders under the generic term 'children with disabilities.' The findings of the present study suggest a number of areas that future implementors of integration policies need to consider. Firstly, mandatory special education courses need to be implemented by all teacher training institutions. Secondly, to effectively integrate children with behaviour disorders into the regular classroom an individual, collaboratively designed program needs to be utilized. Collaboration between special setting teachers and regular class teachers would appear to be crucial in program design. Thirdly, teachers stress emerged as an issue which policy designers need to address urgently. Fourthly, resources and support, including the availability of in-service courses on children with behaviour disorders, need to be increased and made available to regular classroom teachers. Finally a range of alternate educational programs/opportunities, not just a choice between regular and special settings, needs to be developed for children with behavoiur disorders. The study is important to the field of special education and in particular to children with behaviour disorders in three ways. Firstly, data were gathered using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This approach would appear to be the most appropriate method for gathering data on integration as it allows for many of the child's ecosystems to be investigated and for the child's numerous and important interactions to be examined. Secondly, the study highlighted the importance of investigating the individual needs of children with behaviour disorder when considering integration, Finally, the study allowed for a number of variables, important for practitioners when integrating children with behaviour disorders, to be identified and examined.

Abstract:
This is a case study of the development of the Buddhist Education in Victorian Schools program in state primary schools. It is located alongside the theoretical and policy frameworks of Australian state schooling and a growing but disparate international movement that is applying meditative techniques and principles with roots in the Buddha- Dharma in secular and pluralist education. The meta-ethics of wisdom and compassion, it is argued, are the foundation for spiritual education, personal development and positively engaged citizenship in the Dharma. These are also and congruent with the intrinsic aims of education.

Sutton, David F. "An analysis of paediatric palliative care in the state of Victoria." Thesis, 2005. https://vuir.vu.edu.au/17919/.

Full text
Abstract:
The concept of palliative care as an holistic approach to the management of patients with incurable conditions has its roots in the hospice movement. It has since grown into an established field of practice for health professionals of all disciplines and has been recognised as a medical specialty since 1987. Palliative care remains relatively underdeveloped in the paediatric setting for a number of reasons. Firstly, death in childhood is now relatively rare due to the advent of antibiotics, immunisation and advances in the treatment of malignancies. This means that any health professional's individual exposure to palliative care issues is limited, making the development and maintenance of skills difficult. Secondly, the traditional model of palliative care, as a path to be taken when all curative options have been explored, does not adequately serve children and adolescents where the transition to palliative care may be less clear due to a broader range of diagnoses and patterns of disease progression. Children also present added dimensions to palliative care including developmental, ethical and physiological considerations. The involvement of parents as care givers and decision makers further increases the complexity of providing palliative care. Research is lacking and the evidence on which to base practice is limited. Nevertheless, there are theoretical constructs that can be utilised to build a framework for research in this area. The works of Glaser and Strauss, Corr and Copp on theories of death and dying coupled with earlier works by Freud, Erikson and Piaget on theories of childhood development provide a suitable theoretical framework. Corr's 'task' based model described in 1992 allows us to view the process of providing pediatric palliative care from many different perspectives, and thus provides for a rich multi-dimensional model of pediatric palliative care to be constructed. This study was done to analyse and investigate the knowledge, attitudes and needs of both providers and recipients of palliative care in a major tertiary paediatric hospital, the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH), Melbourne, Australia and, in addition, to examine various models of delivery of paediatric palliative care in use around the world, and to identify from the literature the constituents of care that make up 'best practice' as regards paediatric palliative care. From this investigation it is hoped to develop a model of care that will best serve the RCH and its patients.

Abstract:
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.

Full text
Abstract:
The Huizachal-Peregrina Anticlinorium is a large NNW-trending structure in the front ranges of the Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico (23° 45ʹ N; 99° 10ʹ W). The breached core of the anticlinorium exposes three major geologic terranes: (1) . A late Precambrian granulite terrane (Novillo Gneiss) remarkably similar in composition, appearance, grade and age of metamorphism to rocks of the Grenville Province, especially the Adirondacks; (2). A mid-Paleozoic low-grade metamorphic complex (Granjeno Schist) of volcano-sedimentary origin with ophiolite rock assemblages, that resemble rocks of the Ouachita-Appalachian inner zones; and (3). A strongly folded and faulted section of Paleozoic fossilifireous sedimentary strata, more than 1500 m thick, similar to the rocks of the Ouachita frontal zone exposed in the Marathon region of Texas. Except for an extensive subcrop terrain of Permo-Triassic granitic intrusives, the terranes in the area studied represent "unique samples" of the Pre-Mesozoic basement framework of eastern Mexico. These terranes belong to two ancient superposed orogenic systems: the Late Precambrian Oaxacan (Grenville) and the Paleozoic Huastecan (Ouachita-Appalachian) structural belts. Based on the geologic study of these pre-Mesozoic terranes at Huizachal-Peregrina, and compared with the widely spaced and limited outcrops (and sub-crops) of equivalent rock units of eastern Mexico, a tectonic model is proposed which interprets the granulite terrane as representative of continental crust, and the low-grade metamorphic terrane as rocks that accumulated on top of the ocean crust of a marginal basin. This latter sequence experienced a complex history of deformation and metamorphism as it was subducted towards the east, culminating 330 m.y. ago. The onset of Carboniferous-Permian orogenic flysch sedimentation is interpreted to have occurred when the marginal basin became closed by an arc-continent collision. The Permo-Triassic granitic rock terrane of the subsurface of the Gulf Coastal Plain represents the magmatic roots of that volcanic arc. The pervasive NW to NNW-trending structural grain, of the Oaxacan and Huastecan structural belts south of Huizachal-Peregrina through Oaxaca, when compared to the NE-trending distribution of Precambrian and Paleozoic terranes in the United States are compatible with the existence of a proposed zone of large left-lateral displacement across northern Mexico.
