The management of challenging behaviour in high schools
Adolescents who have experienced early childhood trauma or prolonged stress, present schools with major challenging behaviour. There is a need for transformative behaviour management systems that identifies a need to better understand behaviour in schools through the context of brain and physical development, alongside relationships and the environments in which adolescents’ function. The aim of this review was to identify what school-based behav…
Evaluation of in-service inclusive education teacher mindsets
Innovative learning environments are educational settings that promote flexibility, and collaboration, thereby necessitating a shift in teachers’ mindsets to effectively foster inclusivity in these dynamic spaces. Mindsets are our beliefs about human attributes, including abilities. The article investigates the degree to which in-service teachers, enrolled in a postgraduate inclusive education course, enact a growth mindset in response to an asse…
An online practicum for teacher education students
There is an ongoing drive to enhance teacher quality and address the imperative of initial teacher education provision. An online professional experience (practicum) can prepare teacher education students to negotiate the complexity of practice analysis when access to schools is problematic. As an alternative approach to face to face school-based teacher preparation for classroom practice, the online practicum is designed to ensure that teacher e…
Lessons from the Pacific
The Republic of Vanuatu, an island nation in the South Pacific, recognises the rights of its citizens with disabilities as stipulated in its constitution and has ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Although this may be deemed a positive move, most schools are still not fully equipped to cater for the needs of students with disabilities. This scoping review aimed to critically analyse the progress and challen…

Kokonas research methodology
In Vanuatu, like many Pacific Island countries, the kokonas (coconut) is considered a tree of life. All elements of the kokonas-roots, trunk, flowers, leaves, flesh, water, and husk are regarded as useful in Vanuatu. This empirical article illustrates how the kokonas informs Vanuatu research methodology using the metaphor and analogy of the development of a coconut leaf. The framework describes the five stages of the research process, which was u…
Innovative Learning Environments and spaces of belonging for students with disability in mainstream settings
In many schools across Australasia, single-cell classrooms have been replaced by ‘innovative learning environments’ (ILEs). This redesign of education spaces has had pedagogical and physical ramifications for students and teachers. This qualitative study, conducted in New Zealand and Australia, investigated how students with disability responded to ILE design. Students with disabilities have, in traditional classrooms, often been reported to be i…
Media representation and the Paralympics
The Paralympics is globally the largest and most significant sporting event that takes place for athletes with a disability. The 2020 Tokyo Games was heralded as significant in its extensive media coverage that served to promote the disability athletic movement, breaking all broadcasting viewing records from the number of broadcasters, viewers, and a number of events provided live. In the past, however, media reporting of the Paralympic Games has…
Teachers working with students with high and very high needs and their perceptions of Innovative Learning Environments
In the past 10 years Aotearoa/New Zealand, the educational landscape has experienced a significant shift towards Innovative Learning Environments (ILEs). The paper discusses the perceptions of 79 Aotearoa/New Zealand teachers who work with students with high and very high needs in mainstream Innovative Learning Environments (ILEs), and the aspects of pedagogical practices and classroom environments that have an impact on teaching and learning. An…
Pacific inclusive education model
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offers a global blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for every person, through universal action to address social, economic, and environmental inequity and inequality (United Nations Development Programme, 2021). For educators, SDG Goal 4 aims to ensure an equitable quality education that promotes lifelong learning opportunities and this goal has been endorsed by Pacific…
From Face-To-Face to the Online Space
At the time of writing, the largest state in Australia is once more in full lockdown because of surging cases from the new variant strain of COVID-19. During the last lockdown in early 2020, we conducted a study analyzing the efficacy of mapping best-practice face-to-face university teaching into the online space. This article reports on the results of a survey from the perspective of student belonging. Isolation was the most prevalent theme reco…
Further development of the Teacher Attitudes to Inclusion Scale
Providing an effective and high-quality education for all children and young people remains a significant challenge throughout the world. Disputes and contradictions contribute to the prevailing debate as to the justification and merits of inclusive education. One of the reoccurring themes within the literature on inclusive education is the relationship between the successful application of teachers’ knowledge, skills, and abilities utilised to i…
Virtual inclusion through telepresence robots
This article leverages existing literature around the use of telepresence robots to provide a conceptualisation of virtual inclusion. Telepresence involves the use of mediating technology to generate connection with others in a remote context. Recent developments have seen telepresence robots used to create a sense of ‘being there’ when the person’s physical presence is not possible. Telepresence robots can provide children with the capability to…
Patchworks of professional practices
In Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, the impetus to create open learning spaces that afford spatial and pedagogical flexibility have disrupted the nature of teachers’ work. In redesigned education facilities, teachers engage in sophisticated processes of collaboration and ongoing teacher professional learning. Moving from traditional classroom designs brings with it a shift in how knowledge is transmitted, co-produced and engaging with aspirati…
Psychological safety in innovative learning environments
Innovative Learning Environments (ILEs) are characterised by features that can create hypervisibility, and hyperstimulation, that raise psychological safety issues. However, there is a lack of research in the field of ILEs that addresses these complexities especially for students with additional learning needs. This case study draws on interview data with staff and students in a special education setting within an Australian ILE. Results map thre…
Innovative learning environments and spaces of belonging for special education teachers
According to the OECD definition of innovative learning environments (ILEs), inclusion is considered a pillar of its design. The depiction of an inclusive ILE from the OECD outlines the importance of including students in ILEs. We wish to argue, however, that the successful implementation of inclusion also needs to address the location of special education teachers within these spaces. Our research provides a ‘spaces of belonging’ framework that …
Including students with disabilities in innovative learning environments
The educational provision for students with disabilities has been debated for as long as the term inclusive education (IE) has been part of the educational discourse. Despite IE stemming from a social justice paradigm, globally there remain inconsistencies in access to quality education. As a result, policies and practices to shift towards more equitable access to education are evident across the world. Many IE commentators argue the need for a t…
How the Tivaevae Model can be Used as an Indigenous Methodology in Cook Islands Education Settings
This paper explores an Indigenous research methodology, the tivaevae model, and its application within the Cook Islands education system. The article will argue that the cultural values embedded within its framework allow for the successful implementation of this Indigenous methodology. The model draws from tivaevae, or artistic quilting, and is both an applique process and a product of the Cook Islands. It is unique to the Cook Islands and plays…
A critical view of female aggression and the implications of gender, culture and a changing society
The form and function of female aggression have been for many years an important social issue that demands investigation. Many studies of female aggression have focused on the perpetration and victimization of girls and young women from western countries. As a result, existing theoretical models and empirical foundations of girls' aggression are based on these defining constructs. The purpose of this article is twofold. The present study of adole…
Assessment of Children's Physical Self-Perceptions
Two studies are reported on the use of Fox and Corbin's (1989) Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP) modified for use with children (PSPP-C). The current studies used British children of 12 and 15 years of age. Study I found that after factor analysis the proposed four subdomains of physical self-worth (sport competence, body attractiveness, perceived strength and physical condition) were not clearly represented, although some similarities emer…
