Recognising the ordinances of Heaven

Proving the pudding
This paper questions the value of the current trend towards mandating formal teaching accreditation in higher education and argues that the 'just-in-time' nature of short training programmes coupled with on-going occasional mentoring is likely to result in more productive professional development for academic teachers. Specifically, the paper considers the increasing use of the graduate certificate as a means to improve practice despite the spars…
Exploratory Factor Analysis
Factor analysis is a multivariate statistical approach commonly used in psychology, education, and more recently in the health-related professions.

Whilst some consider the change from students to clients to be simply an accurate reflection of changing times, others believe the trend to be a covert blueprint for radical change imposed by forces external to the academy. In either case, the discussion is more concerned with rights, responsibilities and obligatio…

The first article examines the criteria for determining indigenous identity within international law, emphasizing cultural continuity and ancestral domain occupation. It compares legal definitions in the USA with those proposed by the UN and ILO, highlighting the contentious nature of identifying indigenous populations. The second article explores the historic…
