Modeling the factors influencing high school students’ computational thinking in educational robotics–based programming learning activities: A multi-method model integrating CATLM, TAM, and TTF
Background and Context Traditional text and blockbased programming often limits the development of computational thinking (CT) skills, while educational robotics (ER) provides a handson alternative that can better foster these skills. However, how robotics environments promote CT remains unclear. This study focuses on Chinese high school students engaged in programming activities using ER.Objective This study aims to develop and validate an integ…
Transforming nursing education towards metaverse as an innovative teaching tool: A systematic review
Metaverse-based and immersive learning, encompassing virtual, augmented, and mixed reality, is driving the rise of the metaverse as a transformative learning space in higher education. In nursing education, where bridging theory and practice is essential, the metaverse enables experiential and reflective learning, yet factors influencing its adoption remain unclear. This systematic review synthesized empirical studies from 2020 to 2024 to examine…
Boulol and Thunna Thunna: Aboriginal responses to smallpox on the western plains and river country in south-east Australia, 1830–1832
This article explores the ways that the Wiradjuri, Gomeroi and Wailwan peoples of the plains and river country actively responded to smallpox, just as they actively responded to other forms of violence.Drawing on a lesser-known medical report, combined with other sources, we offer new interpretations of the responses to and impact of smallpox disease for the Wiradjuri, Gomeroi and Wailwan of north-west and central western New South Wales in the p…

Enhancing Self-Directed Learning Skills in English as a Foreign Language Learners Through a Blended Production-Oriented Approach
This study explores the effectiveness of a Blended Production-Oriented Approach (BPOA) in improving Self-Directed Learning (SDL) skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. A quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests revealed significant enhancements in key SDL skills, including planning, strategy use, resource utilization, motivation, evaluation, and monitoring. Semi-structured interviews confirmed these findings, highlig…
Coming to terms with the past? Aboriginal history and the Great Australian Unknowing
Despite significant public discourse and the volume of scholarship produced by the Aboriginal history field over more than half a century, ‘coming to terms with the past’ in settler colonial contexts remains an enduring challenge. Reflecting on the emergence of the field of Aboriginal history in Australia, this article provides a brief contextual overview of what is referred to as ‘Aboriginal history’ and the contestation of this body of work tha…
Indigenous Responses to Climate Change: From Climate Colonialism to Indigenous Climate Justice
Indigenous peoples have acted across a wide range of fields to address climate change. In all contexts they encounter the barriers of established colonial relations of land and state sovereignty. Indigenous-centred agendas are defined in articulation, with and against these dominant regimes. In this respect they are ‘immanent’, locked into in dialectical struggles for sovereignty. Such contestations are inherently generative: they force new issue…

Planning for Climate Change in the NSW Local Aboriginal Land Council Estate
The Aboriginal land estate in NSW is uniquely vulnerable to the physical risks of climate change and this jeopardises the rights and interests of First Nations peoples. This paper presents the findings of research and knowledge exchange between a cross-disciplinary research team and Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALCs). The research team, with expertise on Aboriginal land rights, energy policy and actuarial modelling, assessed physical risk to …
Local Aboriginal Land Councils as Environmental Managers: Practices and Opportunities
The NSW Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 created a network of Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALCs) to receive returned lands and establish Aboriginal enterprises that bolstered economic security for Aboriginal people. The restituted Aboriginal land estate has enabled Aboriginal communities to pursue ways to be back on Country, protect sites, and regenerate landscapes but their land is often overlaid with environmental and biodiversity covenants.…
Cultural care and Aboriginal land rights in New South Wales
An appreciation of Aboriginal land rights in New South Wales (NSW) is characterised by two dominant narratives. One is that land rights are central to achieving and advancing recognition and support for the existence and survival of Aboriginal peoples in the settled spaces of south‐eastern Australia. In this view, Aboriginal land rights realise intrinsic political power. The second dominant narrative is that the land estate restituted to Aborigin…
Truth-telling, Ancestral Remains and the Establishment of a National Resting Place in Australia
∞ This article explores the potential for truth-telling and healing created by the recently announced National Resting Place for Indigenous Ancestral Remains in Australia. The return of Indigenous Ancestral Remains provides the opportunity to make redress for past wrongs, and to reflect on the attitudes which informed the dehumanizing practices of their past collection and display. Indigenous Ancestral Remains are critical to truth-telling in Aus…
Asserting Aboriginal polity and nationhood: The campaign for the return of Indigenous Ancestral Remains
Mapping the history of the repatriation movement in Australia, this article will argue that the movement to repatriate Ancestral Remains was an expression of Aboriginal nation-building and self-determination. Indigenous remains were collected in Australia over at least 180 years in the name of discovery, in the purported interest of science and anthropology, as 'trophies of empire' or as 'curios' of a supposedly 'dying race'. The demand for the r…

Tranby drew s…
Autism Children and English Vocabulary Learning: A Qualitative Inquiry of the Challenges They Face in Their English Vocabulary Learning Journey
Language learning is one of the most important aspects of an individual's life development and growth. Normal learners' English language acquisition differs depending on their preferences and learning styles. Children with autism, on the other hand, appear to have different learning methods and routines. There has been a lot of previous work on the language learning styles of normal learners, but not much on the language learning path of children…

This article addresses the establishment of the National Resting Place, a new Australian cultural institution designed to perform a vital role in the care of Ancestral Remains. Exploring the history of why there are, and have been, many thousands of Ancestral Remains in Australia that need to be repatriated, reburied or cared for as a community determines, this article demonstrates the physical and cultural harm caused to Indigenous people throug…

Pre-Service Teachers’ Views on the Implementation of Game-Based Learning for Academic Writing Skills: Pandangan Guru Pra-Perkhidmatan ESL terhadap Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran berasaskan Permainan (Game-B…
Implementation of game-based learning has been perceived by educators as a means to enhance effective classroom learning. Aspects in games have been identified to motivate learners to actively engage throughout the learning as it provides a fun, engaging, and rewarding experience for the learners. Despite the widespread of games implementation in classroom learning, limited exposure has been noted in the context of language learning particularly …
Aboriginal Worlds and Australian Capitalism
Australia has a fairly established literature that seeks to explain, on one hand, the pre-colonial Aboriginal society and economy and, on the other, the relationship that emerged between the First Peoples’ economic system and society, and the settler economy. Most of this relies on theoretical frameworks that narrate traditional worlds dissolving. At best, these narratives see First Peoples subsumed into the workforce, retaining minimal cultural …
Mapping local and regional governance: Reimagining the New South Wales Aboriginal sector
With reference to four case study localities in New South Wales, this paper offers new insights into calls from Indigenous Australians for recognition within the national political discourse. Examining the literature on the history of the Aboriginal sector that emerged following the 1970s self-determination policy era, this paper argues earlier conceptions of the 'Aboriginal sector' are insufficient and do not grasp the wider shift that Aborigina…
