Inside the game of teacher education
Teacher education is constantly scrutinised, both nationally and globally, although the voices of those who work inside this complex field are often silenced. Similarly, the simplistic understandings and politicised discourses that endeavour to both rationalise and dominate the argument often negate the inherent human and social activities that underpin teacher education. In this article, we focus on teacher educators’ experiences to explore how …
Bridging the divide
Doctoral education has undergone various transformations in recent decades to align with global shifts toward educational inclusivity, equity, and quality. However, western ways of thinking remain privileged, and doctoral students from non-western backgrounds must navigate the intercultural contact zone between their cultural knowledges and dominant western conceptualisations. Undertaking transcultural doctoral work to embrace diverse knowledges …

The Teacher as a work of art
Making teacher educators’ experiences visible
The field of teacher education is subject to intense scrutiny and policy reform and within this context, the voices of those working within the field are often marginalised. Drawing on our larger study of teacher educators, we addressed the key research question: “How do those who work in the field of teacher education articulate and represent the nature of their work?.” Using a fusion of arts-based and data science research methods and the theor…
Reshaping teaching in higher education through a mandala of creative pedagogies
Enhancing creativity skills and dispositions is one of the many student capabilities academics in higher education are required to promote. Although there are several issues that can hamper academics’ engagement with creativity including demands of performance indicators and limited freedom to experiment with teaching. In this article, we consider the findings from a research project with a group of tertiary academics who explored the complexitie…
Capturing the shifting work of teaching in higher education through postcards of practice
Amongst the rapid and continual changes occurring in higher education is a heightened emphasis on teaching and the emergence of a quality teaching discourse.In tandem, we are living through a time where not only circumstances, but also new, more complex technologies continue to disrupt and challenge the ways teaching occurs.Despite various initiatives and compliance mechanisms, trust in notions of quality, accountability and scholarship related t…
Art educators’ professional learning
Opportunities to interrogate praxis through professional learning and reflection is common for school teachers but is not straightforward or as frequently practised by tertiary educators, particularly from across different universities. In this article, the authors who are arts educators from various universities explore a framework that focuses on ‘quality’ visual art education. The aim was to ascertain if an ontology could be enacted to inform …
Research is…making the emotional dimensions of academics’ research visible
Community engagement is
Criticisms have been levelled at academics at a time when funding of universities is increasingly tied to private and corporate purposes and when academics are held accountable through a hierarchy of functions. Claims are also made that academics work within narrow specializations and are removed from real-world experience and problems. Boyer’s model of scholarship offers four categories of scholarship that remain relevant to understanding and gu…
Learning about ourselves from others
Community-based arts projects can act as powerful learning opportunities in a variety of lifelong and life wide contexts. Many of these projects involve artists, who usually undertake a leading role to ensure that some type of transformation takes place for those involved. The impact on the leaders—in this case the artists—is difficult to identify, even if they have been involved in several community-based arts projects. In this paper I provide i…
