Homework characteristics as predictors of advanced math achievement and attitude among US 12th grade students
Teacher characteristics as predictors of mathematics attitude and perceptions of engaged teaching among 12 th grade advanced mathematics students in the U.S
The present study examined the 2015 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study “Advanced” data to examine how the educational credentials of maths teachers and other teacher characteristics were related to attitude towards advanced mathematics and perceptions of engaged teaching among 12th-grade students enrolled in advanced mathematics courses in the U.S. As attitudinal outcomes in this study, two measures of attitude towards mathemat…

Computing Robust, Bootstrap-Adjusted Fit Indices for Use With Nonnormal Data
Nonnormality of data presents unique challenges for researchers who wish to carry out structural equation modeling. The subsequent SPSS syntax program computes bootstrap-adjusted fit indices (comparative fit index, Tucker–Lewis index, incremental fit index, and root mean square error of approximation) that adjust for nonnormality, along with the Bollen–Stine bootstrap-adjusted χ2 equivalent statistic and associated scaling factor
Australia's Asia: From yellow peril to Asian century
Australia's Asia provides an account of Australia's multiple responses to Asia over the last 150 years. Asia has long been at or near the centre of Australian thinking. For many, Australia's much-discussed proximity to Asia appeared as a threat. Shadowy Asian figures seemed to lurk around the edge of the continent, biding their time. Yet proximity also offered new opportunities for trade, travel and cultural exchange. A great number of Australian…

Presidential Election Forecasts
This paper contrasts election forecasting models that include macro-economic and financial market variables with forecasts by Fair and the Iowa Electronic Market (IEM), as well estimates made by widely recognized pollsters. The Financial Market Model proposed here incorporates the impact of election year stock market changes, including information about the recent financial crisis. However, the Financial Market Model grossly overestimates the cha…

Strange reading: Keith Windschuttle on race, Asia and White Australia
In his recently published book, The White Australia Policy, Keith Windschuttle accuses academic historians of errors of fact and judgement in their accounts of white Australia. This unarticle examines these claims of exaggeration and distortion with particular reference to the nature and meaning of race, racism and representations of Asia in Australian history. The article rejects Winschuttle's sweeping claim that academic historians have sought …
Legacies of white Australia: Race, culture, and nation
More than one hundred years after it first appeared in the Immigration Restriction Act 1901 and thirty years after it was reportedly put to rest, the so-called White Australia policy continues to haunt the Australian political landscape. In the new millennium the Tampa incident and controversy surrounding asylum seekers have fuelled renewed speculation about the enduring legacies of White Australia. In this volume, leading Australian scholars cri…
Low visibility on the inside track
The critique of ‘spin’ in recent autobiographical accounts of political reporting from Westminster is deficient because it fails to ask questions about political journalists' own ideologies and practice. Without greater self-reflexivity on the part of these journalistsas-political-actors, government may systematically be misunderstood
ANU Radiocarbon Date List XI: Radiocarbon Dates from Lakes Barrine and Eacham, Atherton Tableland, North Queensland, Australia
Lakes Barrine and Eacham and their small, discrete, forested catchments are sites of intensive sedimentological, palynological and ecological research. The studies that we present here concentrate on integrating population statistics of tree species of the living forest with their histories, as documented by fine-resolution pollen analysis (Green and Dolman 1988). Most of the work has been undertaken at Lake Barrine, where the last 5 ka is record…

Simultaneously, pro-Allied guerrilla fighters organized by General William J. ('Wild Bill') Donovan's recently formed Office of Strategic Services (OSS)…

Scaling Small Groups at the O‐grade Stage
S ummary . The Dunning Report, while advocating the use of scaled internal assessments in the award of certificates at the 16‐year‐old level in Scotland, has doubts on its practicability where the number of presentations from a school in a particular subject is small. The investigation reported in this article may dispel some of these doubts and also throw some light on the inferences that may, and may not, be drawn from the size of the correlati…
