Recontextualising code of conduct policies
This study examines how code of conduct (CoC) policiesFootnote1 function within Australia’s marketised vocational education and training sector, revealing fundamental contradictions in their implementation as instruments of neoliberal governance rather than for ethical guidance. While ostensibly designed to regulate professional behaviour across all employment categories (from teaching staff to administrative personnel, including casual and contr…
Pre-service teacher preparedness in ethical decision-making
Pre-service teacher practicums constitute critical developmental contexts for professional skill application and ethical reasoning development. This systematic literature review examines the ethical dilemmas encountered by pre-service teachers during practicum experiences, with particular focus on understanding why these dilemmas are uniquely challenging for novice educators. Following PRISMA guidelines, 14 publications (2012–2022) from peer-revi…
Defining work-integrated learning in initial teacher education
Work-integrated learning in initial teacher education has gained significant attention in universities, often equated with mandatory classroom professional experience. This systematic literature review examines the conceptualisation of work-integrated learning and its implementation in initial teacher education programs over the past decade, addressing the need for clear explanations, practical strategies, and resource rationalisation for its inc…

Investigating VET teachers’ experiences during and post Covid
Vocational education and training teachers play an integral role in ensuring students, both international and domestic, gain quality learning experiences and positive outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic caused rapid changes and abruptly shifted vocational education from face-to-face teaching to teaching at a distance. This study aims to investigate vocational education and training teachers’ experiences during and post COVID-19. A systematic review a…
Reasonable adjustment
Literature has highlighted the importance of having a reasonable adjustment approach as a measure of social justice to provide inclusive education for all students. However, the growing globalisation and commercialisation of vocational education and training has tended to encourage provider organisations to use more flexible reasonable adjustments to attract and retain more students in this domain. The framework of this new reasonable adjustment …
Weaving stories of strength
Teachers have professional obligations to incorporate Indigenous perspectives in their teaching but face challenges due to Western-centric priorities in schools, denying students the benefits gained from Indigenous knowledge. A study conducted with 16 Indigenous educators from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States offers unique insights into negotiating this problem. The Weaving Stories of Strength project synthesises Indigenous a…
The effects of neoliberalism
Neoliberal policy reforms have had a marked influence on nearly every aspect of education, including the enrolment practices employed by institutions, teaching and assessment practices, and even the outcomes for students and society. There is a widespread expectation that teachers should contribute to quality outcomes for students along with their moral/ethical development and character formation while at the same time behaving ethically in the c…
Philosophy of education in a new key
Within the rough ground that is the field of education there is a complex web of ethical obligations: to prepare our students for their future work; to be ethical as educators in our conduct and teaching; to the ethical principles embedded in the contexts in which we work; and given the Southern context of this work, the ethical obligations we have to this land and its First Peoples. We put out a call to colleagues whose work has been concerned w…
