Hui, Wan Ying; Brown, Ted; Yu, Mong-Lin; Lyons, Carissa – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2022
Handwriting is an important daily occupation for children. When assessing children's handwriting, it is recommended that clinicians use objective handwriting performance tests as well as solicit children's and parents' perspectives to promote client-centered practice. However, it remains unknown to what extent objective handwriting performance…

Laird, Alexandra; Grootenboer, Peter; Larkin, Kevin – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
The study reported here was conceptualised using a theoretical framework that included three dimensions of engagement; emotional, behavioural, and cognitive, and these were used to structure the data collection and analysis vis-à-vis learning mathematics outdoors. This comparative case study involved 34 students from two Year 6 classes at a…

Sun Jung Joo; Alice Chik; Emilia Djonov – Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, 2024
The increasing influx into Australia of (im)migrants whose first language is not English has made Australia linguistically more diverse than ever. Despite this, Australia remains a strongly Anglocentric nation, and migrants, in response, tend to abandon their heritage languages (HL) and shift to English relatively quickly. Korean migrants in…

Rodney Nillsen – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Equal representation as a social issue is about the participation of one social group, in a particular context, in proportion to the numbers in the group within the total population. The proportion of women in parliament, and of the participation rate of students of lower socioeconomic status in higher education, are examples. The aims of this…

Renshaw, Peter; Jackson, Kirsty; Mortlock, Harriet; Tooth, Ron – Journal of Environmental Education, 2023
This paper considers how digital technologies contribute to awakening primary-school children's enchantment with local places. We draw upon Bennett and Thoreau to theorize enchantment and adopt "enchantment as method" from Stainova to guide the research process. We analyze the contrasting digital artifacts produced by three children…

Wright, Suzie; Watson, Jane; Smith, Caroline; Fitzallen, Noleine – Teaching Science, 2021
Life would not be possible without plants. Plants supply food to many organisms (including people), produce oxygen, absorb carbon dioxide from the air, provide products for human use, and homes for many other living things. It is not surprising, therefore, that plant growth is a familiar topic in the primary school science curriculum. This paper…

Halliday, Sarah; Taylor, Amanda; Turnbull, Deborah; Gregory, Tess – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
This study addresses a knowledge gap in the literature about early adolescent cyberbullying victimization and the related positive and negative emotional wellbeing and academic achievement outcomes experienced over time. The study examines 9139 South Australian students (aged 10-13 years) who reported on cyberbullying status in Grade 6, and…

Miles, Michaela – Australian Journal of Music Education, 2020
Research has shown that an audience can make a great difference to a musical performance but limited research has explored this with primary school-aged children. Using an action research study, participants from a primary school choir, students in fifth and sixth class formed into a choir through a compulsory singing programme, were surveyed to…

Ho, Angeline; McMaster, Heather – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
This paper reports a study that explored 11 to 12-year-olds' conceptions of the terms 'volume', 'capacity' and 'interior volume'. Semi-structured interviews, supported by the use of measurement resources, were used to gain insight into their thinking. Video-recordings of the interviews allowed analysis of dialogue, actions with the materials and…

Park, Joonhyeong; Chang, Jina; Tang, Kok-Sing; Treagust, David F.; Won, Mihye – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
The purpose of this study is to investigate the process of students' construction of scientific explanations through drawing explanatory diagrams. For this, we observed fifth and sixth graders' drawing processes in a gifted science class involving learning physics concepts in mechanics. The analysis was carried out on three pictorial…

Veldhaus, Ian; DeJarnette, Anna F.; Gamel, Zach; Hord, Casey – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
The authors describe strategies a pre-service teacher used to orchestrate classroom discussions that encourage thinking. They show how small shifts in the questions posed can lead to substantial changes in student participation in classroom discourse.

Xu, Wen – Language and Education, 2022
Affective engagement, as one facet of the engagement model, takes on the role of activating other aspects to facilitate continued action in partaking in learning activities. Recognising the silences of Bernstein's theoretical oeuvre on the affective aspect in the process of cultural transmission, this paper applies his concepts of classification…

Senzamici, Leane; McMaster, Heather – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2019
The aim of this research was to explore 11 to 12-year-old children's understanding of the mass of objects made from different materials, and the measurement of this attribute. In depth task-based interviews were conducted with six children attending six different schools; five were in Year 6 and one in Year 7. The children were found to hold…
