Situating engineering within the Australian pre-tertiary education system
A global shortage of engineers is coinciding with an increasing demand for engineering skills. Clear education pathways are needed to attract future engineers who will work across the traditional boundaries of disciplines. This paper explores the visibility of engineering-related learning in pre-tertiary education as a means to spark students’ interests and skills and encourage them to enter engineering as a profession. The national Early Years L…
Using interpersonal meaning making resources to build relationships and improve engagement in online teacher professional learning
As professional learning and development (PLD) for teachers moves online, it is increasingly important to consider what constitutes effective provision. While models of effective PLD abound, online PLD faces challenges to participant engagement. In particular, the critical need to build and maintain relationships in professional learning is complicated by the geographic and temporal distribution of online participants as well as the nuances of th…
Outdoor learning across the early years in Australia
In this article, we explore inconsistencies in the implementation of outdoor learning across Australian early years’ education. The benefits of outdoor learning justify regular employment of this pedagogical approach in both early childhood education and primary school settings. Early childhood education services provide daily outdoor learning opportunities as required by Australian national policy documents. However, Australian primary schools a…
Action-oriented approaches to teaching environmental science in Bhutanese secondary schools
Bhutan aspires to balance sustainable socioeconomic development with environmental conservation to achieve Gross National Happiness (GNH). There are apparent alignments between GNH and the principles of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), but we recognize the role of the Bhutanese socio-cultural context for critically examining any alignments or misalignments with pervasive Western action-oriented ESD approaches. We present one aspect of…
The potential of online technologies in meeting PLD needs of rural teachers
In this paper we review the professional learning and development (PLD) needs of teachers in rural and remote schools, focusing on the Australian context. We argue that online PLD is an emerging alternative to face-to-face arrangements for the continuing education of teachers, which can connect to rural contexts through attending to considerations of relevance, collaboration, and future focus. We describe challenges to the uptake of online PLD in…
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…

E-Assessment for learning and performativity in higher education
This paper provides a critical and contextualised exploration of assessment for learning (AfL) as an important area of scholarship in higher education, particularly in online learning environments. Although AfL can speak to a range of education discourses, the specific focus here is on the performativity and experiential learning discourses around individual and collective notions of AfL in online settings (e-AfL). We argue that e-AfL practices t…
Teachers' conceptions of the environment
Analyses of attempts to prevent the worsening of environmental problems on Earth often identify two key lines of critique about contemporary school curriculum: first, its role in entrenching anthropocentrism as the dominant paradigm for people-environment relations, and then, also compounding this, their combined role in furthering a loss of connection with nature. However, those who advance such critiques do not always acknowledge that teachers …
An Elegy for Eugen Weber
The Sum of All Heresies
Current global tensions and the spread of terrorism have resurrected a largely negative perception of Islamic society in the West, an ill will fueled by centuries of conflict and prejudice. Shedding light on the history behind these hostile feelings, this book traces the Western image of Islam from its earliest days to recent times. The book establishes four basic themes around which the image of Islam gravitates throughout history: the Prophet a…
In Search of Salt
Relatively recent Bantu-speaking migrants to central Cameroon, the Beti have had an eventful history. Based on extensive interviews and traditional Beti (Fang) poetry, in addition to German and French archival sources, the author of this readable study recreates the social structure of the Beti and their self-perceptions in pre-colonial times, their disruptive encounters with first German (1880-1918) and then French (1918-1960) colonialism, until…

Memoirs of Mbororo. The Life of Ndudi Umaru
This remarkable book recounts the life of Ndudi Umaru, a pastoral nomadic Fulani, who was born in the Nigeria-Cameroon border zone, but spent most of his life in Cameroon where he was treated for leprosy. Left to his own devices at an early age - his illness having separated him from his kith and kin - Ndudi was befriended by Pere Bocquene, a French missionary who took him on as a field assistant. Working closely with the young man, Pere Bocquene…

Charles Atangana of Yaounde
Charles Atangana ( c . 1880–1943) is an African chief whose career defies easy categorization. He was one of several thousand Beti headman's sons in central Cameroon, and not in the line of succession to replace his father as lineage chief within this acephalous society. However, he became a houseboy to the Germans who moved to the Yaounde district in the 1880s, was sent to a mission school by them, and rose from being medical assistant, clerk an…

The Impact of the First World War and its Aftermath on the Beti of Cameroun
Wars rarely come at propitious times for their participants, and the First World War came at an especially difficult time for the Beti, a group of recent migrants into the rain forest of central Cameroun. The Beti society had only just established themselves in the corridor between the Nyong and Sanaga Rivers when the Germans arrived there as well. Within little more than two decades, this fragile, acephelous society underwent a complete change o…
