STEM in the Park
This study investigated opportunities for young children (ages four to five) to engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) meaning-making through photo-prompted small group discussions. Situated in early childhood education contexts, the research focused on how children interacted with visual representations of their own playpark experiences to discuss phenomena involved in swinging, sliding, spinning, climbing and balanci…
Teachers as bricoleurs
This paper explores how primary teachers enact social entrepreneurship within a bureaucratic education system through their adoption and adaptation of the EdTech platform Scriibi. Drawing on qualitative data from six Victorian primary schools, we argue that teachers leverage digital tools not simply for compliance but to reclaim agency, enhance writing instruction, and foster collective professional growth. Using bricolage as both a theoretical a…
A Review of the Three-Cueing System
This paper addresses the ongoing debate about the role of the three-cueing system in reading education by analyzing the body of evidence from 53 studies spanning 1964–2022. A key outcome of this study was to determine that the three-cueing system is not a method for teaching students how to decode, but rather a framework for teaching students how to monitor their reading accuracy and comprehension, enabling them to take control of their own learn…
‘Selling’ the rural to pre-service teachers
‘I do plan to do that in the future, just not the near future’
This study examines pre-service teachers (PSTs) from two Australian universities regarding their involvement in rural professional experience (PE) placements and their potential impact on future career choices. The objective was to gain insight into the diverse teaching and learning experiences PSTs had during their rural PE, and what impact these had on their interest in working in country schools. This paper focuses on findings from urban and r…
Equipping Teachers for Success in Rural Communities
Australian education faces persistent challenges in preparing and retaining teachers within rural contexts. This qualitative study examines the attributes of thriving rural teachers through focus group discussions with 103 rural educational leaders. Utilising a theoretical framework combining attribution theory and ecological systems perspectives, the study synthesised leaders’ perceptions of key dispositions and behaviours contributing to rural …
Teacher educators’ learnings from change and growth in new educational contexts
In an increasingly dynamic and ever-changing global context, mobility and employment choices has resulted in professional diversification and change. These changes have offered opportunity for two researchers to apply an analytic approach to their experiences. This collaborative self-study explores how being in a new educational context influenced and shaped the thinking of two teacher educators in relation to initial teacher education. Journal e…
