Vocational education, self‐employment and burnout among Australian workers
We examine the relationship between vocational education and occupational burnout among workers in different forms of employment. Although the self‐employed enjoy higher levels of job autonomy and work‐related satisfaction, we do not know whether they experience lower rates of occupational burnout, and whether vocational education plays a role in this relationship. This latter consideration is important, given that vocational qualifications often…
Youth and Political Participation
Learning about politics and life as a citizen is part of the transition to adulthood. During this stage young people in most Western democracies are introduced to political processes and issues, as well as a range of political activities including voting and participation in social movements. But young people make this transition differently. The articles in this Book explore a range of ways that young people participate politically and also disc…
Aids Knowledge and Attitudes Among Canberra Secondary School Students
This paper reports findings from a study of 1,014 Canberra secondary school students in 15 government and private schools. Open‐ended responses concerning students' understanding of AIDS, and their views regarding prevention, are presented and discussed. Data on source of AIDS information are also investigated. In general, students understand AIDS as sex‐linked, that it involves transmission through the blood, and that there is no cure for it. Th…

The 'New' Sociology of Education and the Study of Learning Environments: Prospects and Problems
This paper critically examines the 'new' sociology of education with respect to the study of learning environments. While borrowing much from the interpretive schools, such as symbolic interactionism, phenome nology, ethnomethodology, and Marxism, the new paradigm has emerged in Britain partly as a reaction to the lack of success of earlier reform policies based on traditional research. It promises to advance understan ding of educational process…
How Divisive Are Left-Wing Academics? An Australian Test
Academics with left-wing political orientations are sometimes seen as a divisive threat to traditional scholarly values and behavior. To test this proposition academics from a major Australian university were sampled. Left-wing academics had lower social origins and lacked religious affiliation. They shared with their more conservative colleagues a strong commitment to traditional academic values, but more strongly supported the exercise of acade…
