Levak, Natasha; Son, Jeong-Bae – ReCALL, 2017
Learning how to comprehend while listening to a second language is often considered by learners to be a difficult process that can lead to anxiety when trying to communicate (Graham, 2006; Graham & Macaro, 2008). Computer-mediated communication (CMC) can be used to assist in increasing access to native speakers and opportunities to listen.…

Williams, Gaye – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2013
This video-stimulated interview study of problem-solving activity of a high performing Grade 6 girl who displayed confidence in her mathematical ability, provides a microanalysis of tensions she encountered when her findings using concrete aides did not match her rule application. It highlights her disinclination to explore these inconsistencies.…

Pearce, Glenn; Hardiman, Nigel – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2012
Changes in preferred methods of learning among many students in recent years have challenged educators to introduce more interactive and experiential teaching methods. "Hot seating"--where a person, such as an invited subject expert is interviewed by an audience--is a well-established interactive method of learning, but is often limited…

Welch, Bernadette; Vo-Tran, Huan; Pittayachawan, Siddhi; Reynolds, Sue – Australian Academic & Research Libraries, 2012
The value of work integrated learning (WIL) is well-established in the education of information management (IM) professionals. Adding value to WIL through cross-cultural or cross-disciplinary experiences is considered in this article. Using online communication, simulation activities, and onsite work, students from RMIT Melbourne and RMIT Ho Chi…

Doyle, Helen; Reading, Chris – Australian Educational Computing, 2013
It's time to prepare teachers to take the plunge to teach in virtual worlds. Students are already there and their teachers need to follow. Unfortunately, teachers are often resistant to change their teaching practice, especially regarding the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) such as virtual worlds. The authors report on the…

Neumann, David L.; Neumann, Michelle M.; Hood, Michelle – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2011
The discipline of statistics seems well suited to the integration of technology in a lecture as a means to enhance student learning and engagement. Technology can be used to simulate statistical concepts, create interactive learning exercises, and illustrate real world applications of statistics. The present study aimed to better understand the…

Carrington, Lisa; Kervin, Lisa; Ferry, Brian – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2011
The development of a professional identity plays an important part in pre-service teacher education. However, very little is explicitly taught about how one can develop a teacher professional identity via pre-service teacher education (Allen, 2005:1). Rather, as a pre service teacher progresses through their degree, they are expected to develop…

Jacka, Lisa; Booth, Kate – Australian Educational Computing, 2012
Virtual worlds are highly immersive, engaging and popular computer mediated environments being explored by children and adults. Why then aren't more teachers using virtual worlds in the classroom with primary and secondary school students? Reasons often cited are the learning required to master the technology, low-end graphics cards, poor…

Herbert, Sandra – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2008
A well-developed understanding of rate is foundational to conceptual understanding of introductory calculus. Many students achieve procedural competence with the application of rules for differentiation without developing an awareness of the connection between derivative and rate. In addition, rate-related reasoning is needed to make informed…
