Abstract

The Australian Commonwealth government's desire to create a national policy for teacher education must be seen in the context of broader economic restructuring, which has assumed a metapolicy status and subsumed all policy domains.

12. A Question of Good Judgment; Interpretation Theory and Qualitative Enquiry.

Author

Bartlett, Leo

Abstract

The rush to do qualitative enquiry in education in the past decade has spawned a variety of methodologies and non-methodologies. The desire for absolute rules and lawlike procedures lingers and the current search is for certain rather than good judgments about educational phenomena. A methodology described as "quasi-historical" is selected as one that is most likely to result in "good judgments" in educational enquiry. Lawrence Stenhouse's approach to the quasi-historical method scrutinizes critical educational phenomena (evidence derived principally from interview) using a process of intersubjective judgment of the evidence. Interpretations are refined and the "truth" found in case records is made explicit. The methodology makes no pretension to comprehensiveness but aims to connect the understanding of action to distinctively social levels of explanation. The three phases of the interpretive process are: (1) understanding as guessing; (2) explanation as reconstruction of "knowledgeability" in institutions; and (3) comprehension (depth interpretation) as reconstruction of structural elements. A reference list of 45 sources is included. (PPB)

18. Selected Professions Observed : Competency-Based Standards and Their Implications for the Teachmg Profession

Author

Bartlett, Leo and Bartlett, Leo

Abstract

The emphasis on competency-based standards approaches to reform in teaching is the single most significant trend current in Australian education and in the professions generally today. Pressure for reform has come from industry, and government, and to a significantly lesser extent from the professions and parents. While there have been some reservations expressed about CBS among some sections of the Commonwealth bureaucracy in recent months, the idea of competency-based standards remains the overarching schema for micro-economic reform. The dominant press for reform can be attributed to federal (and state) interests and the policy-makers who for largely economic or rationalist reasons. recognise the importance of creating a multi-skilled and flexible workforce to produce (ultimately) a 'clever country'

28. Images of reflection: a look and a review.

Author

Bartlett, Leo

Abstract

The idea of reflection linked with teaching has a wide semantic array in educational enquiry. In the preceding papers, it has been called reflective teaching [Russell] and reflectivity [Bullough & Gitlin]. While neither of these terms has received any great prominence in Australia, the term “reflection” itself has several images. This paper looks at these images of educational enquiry based on reflection and reviews significant issues that have emerged in Australian research, indicating how these are related to the papers in this issue of QSE.
