"An evaluation of the dominant assumptions and practices of training packages in Australian Vocational Education and Training and the extent to which they coincide with the emergence of mode-2 society and its imputed education and training needs." Thesis, 2004. https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/An_evaluation_of_the_dominant_assumptions_and_practices_of_training_packages_in_Australian_Vocational_Education_and_Training_and_the_extent_to_which_they_coincide_with_the_emergence_of_mode-2_society_and_its_imputed_education_and_training_n/21427032.
Full textThis research investigates the relevance of contemporary Australian Vocational Education and Training (VET) to economic development in Mode-2 society. Mode-2 society is a term coined by Nowotny et al (2001) which equates with changes in productivity and the triumph of free-market capitalism commonly referred to as knowledge driven capitalism or knowledge capitalism. Building on Schumpeter's economic theory of entrepreneurial competition and Romer's new growth economic model that have transformed capitalism into 'gales of creative destruction' by which new knowledge now generates national economic advantage, the thesis examines the literature of Training Packages as the prescribed instruments of VET in the milieu of knowledge capitalism. It could be expected that Australian VET, and in particular Training Packages, would have a greater justification for pursuing a knowledge and skill application-and-transfer policy that fits the growth of knowledge capitalism which Mode-2 society represents than it had for the former manufacturing economy. To test this contention, the thesis establishes eleven key transitions from Mode-1 to Mode-2
society and the imputed education and training needs of the latter as derived from the Nowotny et al (2001) Mode-2 thesis. These transitions are formed into an Evaluative Framework and underpin an ethnographic study involving thirty-three VET experts. The literature search and ethnography responses are synthesized and analysed with new material elicited from the ethnography. The outcomes of the analysis are equated with the eleven key transitions from Mode-1 to Mode-2 society and the imputed emergent education and training needs of each transition. It is concluded that the dominant assumptions and practices of Training Packages do not align with the imputed education and training needs of Mode-2 society as indicated by the eleven key attributes of the Nowotny et al (2001) conceptualisation. The theoretical implications of this conclusion had an impact on the Australian provision of VET because they indicate that the Training Package agenda is a potential liability for national economic advantage in Mode-2 society.

Full textAssessment of student performance at secondary school continues to occupy a prominent place in the mind of the community. Successive inquiries and reports ( Campbell et al, 1975; Fairbairn et al, 1976; Scott et al, 1978; Kennedy et al, 1989) highlight the efforts of the educational community to arrive at a system of assessment, reporting and certification which more adequately meets the needs of all stakeholders. In Queensland, these have resulted in such far-reaching consequences as the abolition of public exams, and the progression through norm -referenced to criterion -referenced assessments as methods of describing individual student achievement. On a national scale , the debate about assessment has taken on overt political overtones. This is undoubtedly because of the present economic climate. Australia is popularly seen as not giving a good account of itself in international commerce, and requiring the nation's schools to produce a better 'product' is proposed as one way of redressing the trend. At the same time, the necessity to rank students to provide a basis for comparison of achievement so that selection for further study can be easily and fairly made is being seen as less important for many students completing school as they do not seek admission to tertiary institutions. In addition, the Employment and Skills Formation Council (1992) is proposing a national system to describe students by competencies rather than school results for use by employers when selecting potential employees. Within the Catholic education system, questions about justice in assessment for all students, who has the right to know information about students' performance, what is actually essential for these people to know, and how to provide this information while preserving the dignity and sense of self-worth of the students are the subjects of debate. Given this questioning, the contemporary emphasis on measurement of outcomes at the end of formal schooling (i.e. Year 12) , and the fact that the majority of students now stay on past Year 10, questions about the methods and focus of assessment practices in the junior secondary school come into sharper focus. Has the role of assessment in these years of schooling changed, and, if it has, do the methods and practices presentlyemployed fit this changed emphasis?

Full text(8934626), Stephen K. Horrocks. "Insulin Pump Use and Type 1 Diabetes: Connecting Bodies, Identities, and Technologies." Thesis, 2020.
Find full textSince the late 1970s, biomedical researchers have heavily invested in the development of portable insulin pumps that allow people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to carry several days-worth of insulin to be injected on an as-needed basis. That means fewer needles and syringes, making regular insulin injections less time consuming and troublesome. As insulin pump use has become more widespread over the past twenty years among people with T1D, the social and cultural effects of using these medical devices on their everyday experiences have become both increasingly apparent for individuals yet consistently absent from social and cultural studies of the disease.
In this dissertation, I explore the technological, medical, and cultural networks of insulin pump treatment to identify the role(s) these biomedicalized treatment acts play in the structuring of people, their bodies, and the cultural values constructed around various medical technologies. As I will show, insulin pump treatment alters people’s bodies and identities as devices become integrated as co-productive actors within patient-users’ biological and social systems. By analyzing personal interviews and digital media produced by people with T1D alongside archival materials, this study identifies compulsory patterns in the practices, structures, and narratives related to insulin pump use to center chapters around the productive (and sometimes stifling) relationship between people, bodies, technologies, and American culture.
By analyzing the layered and intersecting sites of insulin pump treatment together, this project reveals how medical technologies, health identities, bodies, and cultures are co-constructed and co-defined in ways that bind them together—mutually constitutive, medically compelled, cultural and social. New bodies and new systems, I argue, come with new (in)visibilities, and while this new technologically-produced legibility of the body provides unprecedented management of the symptoms and side-effects of the disease, it also brings with it unforeseen social consequences that require changes to people’s everyday lives and practices.
