Fitzgerald, Michael T.; Danaia, Lena; McKinnon, David H.; Bartlett, Sophie – Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 2020
The science teacher in the modern high school acts as the designer and driver of the in-class practice. In this role, the teacher must broadly assess the effect of the practice on the student. This would rely on accurate self-knowledge of how they act in class and impact their students. In this study we explore these issues by comparing the…

Williams, John; Pill, Shane; Evans, John; Davies, Michael – Sport, Education and Society, 2022

Australian children from regional, rural and remote (RRR) areas exhibit lower educational outcomes than their peers in metropolitan areas. The mechanisms driving the comparatively poorer educational outcomes of children in RRR areas, however, are not well understood. This paper proposes and tests two sets of factors that may be responsible for…

Kaur, Tejinder; Blair, David; Choudhary, Rahul Kumar; Dua, Yohanes Sudarmo; Foppoli, Alexander; Treagust, David; Zadnik, Marjan – Physics Education, 2020
There is growing interest in the introduction of Einsteinian concepts of space, time, light and gravity across the entire school curriculum. We have developed an educational programme named 'Einstein-First', which focuses on teaching Einsteinian concepts by using simple models and analogies. To test the effectiveness of these models and analogies…

Steinmann, Isa; Braeken, Johan; Strietholt, Rolf – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2021
This study investigates consistent and inconsistent respondents to mixed-worded questionnaire scales in large-scale assessments. Mixed-worded scales contain both positively and negatively worded items and are universally applied in different survey and content areas. Due to the changing wording, these scales require a more careful reading and…

Martin, Andrew J.; Ginns, Paul; Anderson, Michael; Gibson, Robyn; Bishop, Michelle – Educational Psychology, 2021
Among a sample of 472 Indigenous high school students, juxtaposed with 15,884 non-Indigenous students from the same 54 schools, we investigated variation in motivation and engagement from school to school, and the role of motivation and engagement in predicting various academic outcomes (aspirations, buoyancy, homework completion, and…
