Australia’s professional education ecosystem for out-of-field teachers
Teaching out-of-field refers to teachers’ teaching subjects or schooling phases that do not align with their qualifications. Despite calls for professional development for out-of-field teachers, formal programmes are often lacking, poorly attended, or ill-suited to their specific needs. This paper applies an ecological lens to examine how an education system could better support out-of-field teachers by distributing responsibility. Drawing on a l…
Sustaining out-of-field teaching in STEM
This article examines the sustained professional learning (PL) of an experienced teacher transitioning from an arts background into STEM education within a regional, low-socioeconomic (SES) Australian secondary school. Drawing on Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, the study explores how systemic and institutional supports influence teacher identity, pedagogy, and leadership development in out-of-field (OOF) contexts. Adopting a qualitati…
Exploring Parent and Teacher Perceptions of Multimodal Educational Games for Engaging Girls in STEM
This study co-designed and developed multimodal educational games in collaboration with parents and teachers to engage girls in STEM from early childhood onward. Recent studies examine the supportive and complementary role of digital educational technology, such as multimodal games, in engaging girls in STEM education during primary and secondary schooling. Different skills, such as computational thinking, mathematical and scientific skills, can …
Mentoring
The present study examines a unique Cook Island approach to the rehabilitation and support of men, particularly those who have been convicted of criminal offending or who are experiencing other mental health or interpersonal difficulties. The culturally appropriate method of enabling change is offered via a community-based 24-hr mentoring system to support men. Run by men, the program is based on traditional Pacific ways of male mentoring in whic…
A framework of subject-specific expertise for out-of-field teachers
While teaching is a learning profession, learning to teach out-of-field (OOF) places subject-specific demands on teacher knowledge, practice and identity. Using Shulman's ‘signature pedagogies,’ we examine what OOF teachers need to know (thinking), do (performing), and be (identity). Through collaborative research, nine teacher educators from various disciplines identified pertinent themes leading to a framework of subject-specific expertise. The…
A Systematic Review of the Role of Multimodal Resources for Inclusive STEM Engagement in Early-Childhood Education
This paper presents the findings from a systematic review of 29 websites and 13 frameworks that provide STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) educational resources for parents, educators, and children (birth–8 years of age). Our theoretical approach is rooted within a social semiotic perspective that has indicated that multimodality enables children to use different types of expression to communicate a message or share an idea. Usi…
Principal Attitudes towards Out-of-Field Teaching Assignments and Professional Learning Needs
Research has shown that school leader practices can influence teachers’ lived experiences of teaching out-of-field. Less is understood about principals’ attitudes towards out-of-field teaching and their perceptions of the teachers’ professional development support needs. This qualitative multiple case study investigates principal attitudes and school practices relating to out-of-field teaching in Australia and Germany. The findings show that prin…
Profiling the status of out-of-field teaching in Western Australia
This paper shows how system-level data can generate useful insights into the profile of first-year graduates who are teaching out-of-field (OOF). Understanding in-school demand and impacts on first-year graduates teaching OOF is important, especially when the first years of teaching are complex, busy, and involve a steep learning curve. A mixed methods sequential explanatory design was used to generate qualitative and quantitative data collected …
Functional recovery in older adults with schizophrenia
Background: The concept of recovery for people with schizophrenia (PwS) is still a matter of debate. Growing numbers of PwS living to older age calls for examination of their disease trajectories with a focus on recovery. Aim: To compare two groups of PwS (good wellbeing; poor wellbeing) on several psychosocial variables associated with social wellbeing to identify interventions that support functional recovery. Method: Data was drawn from partic…
Aspiring teachers, financial incentives, and principals’ recruitment practices in hard-to-staff schools
The crisis of teacher shortages in Anglophone nation states can no longer be ignored as this long-term issue has been compounded by the pandemic. Growing evidence of the challenges of attracting and retaining a teaching workforce is now foregrounded in education policy internationally. This issue provides increased impetus for studying teacher motivations and principal dispositions particularly in relation to roles in hard-to-staff schools that t…
Loneliness in older persons with schizophrenia
Background: In tandem with the rise in numbers of older adults in the general population, more people with schizophrenia (PwS) are also living longer. This vulnerable population has several trajectories of ageing driven by a number of social determinants of health, including the experience of loneliness and they may be more at risk of experiencing loneliness. Aim: This study aimed to examine demographic, psychosocial and clinical variables and th…
Spirituality
Spirituality is vital to The Salvation Army’s Bridge model of treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. Spirituality is expressed through Recovery Church, prayer, spirituality lifters, the 12-step programme, and focuses on meaning and purpose. We recruited participants from several regional centers throughout Aotearoa New Zealand and evaluated spirituality using the WHOQol-SRPB and open-ended questions. Most participants held broad understandings…

Out-of-field teachers as learners
Compared to their more experienced colleagues, novice teachers are more likely to experience burn-out and leave the profession. They are also more likely to be assigned out-of-field. This paper shines a light on the emotional and cognitive nature of what is involved for these teachers as they learn to teach out-of-field. Fortune lines technique was used by four novice secondary teachers to reflect on how their perceived capacity and enjoyment cha…
