Was Jesus a Fence Sitter? How Christian Teachers can Negotiate Conservatism and Liberalism in the Twenty-first Century Learning Environment
No full textIf there was ever a time in history when Christian teachers needed to present their students with a balanced view of what is happening in the world around them, it is right now. The world is a confusing place and is changing every day in ways we could not have imagined only a few years ago. This chapter presents a case for a Christian approach to teaching and learning that aims to conserve many Christian beliefs and traditions that have served us well over many years. It also challenges us to be open-minded enough to adapt our biblical principles to a changing culture. The overriding theme is, as a teacher, what would Jesus do
School Leader Identification: Perceptions of Australian Faith-Based Education System Employees
No full textThis article aims to contribute to the literature on school leadership identification. It adopts an Australian faith-based education system case study to explore classroom teacher and school-based administrator perceptions of both current and future school leadership identification practices. This research utilised a qualitative research design, adopting semi-structured interviews to collect employee perceptions. The respondents identify six areas of importance for school leadership identification. These include:1) defining what constitutes excellence at the classroom, school, and system levels of leadership; 2) formalising school leadership identification processes; 3) conversing with early career teachers around school leadership aspirations; 4) improving processes to communicate interest in school leadership roles; 5) heightened levels of communication between school principals and system administrators regarding high potential teacher leaders; and 6) providing school-based opportunities for school leadership development

Patient Perspectives of Healthcare associated Infection: You don\u27t know what impacts it will have on your life
No full textBackground: Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are not present on admission but contracted while a patient is undergoing hospital treatment. While the prevalence of HAIs, their causes and treatments have been researched in varied contexts to date, the patients’ perspectives of contracting and living with the consequences of HAI remains under-researched.
Objective: To explore the patients’ experience of having an HAI.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative phenomenological study which drew on data from semi-structured interviews to explore the lived experiences of patients who had recently contracted an HAI while in hospital. Participants were recruited from two Australian hospitals during 2019 and 2021. Telephone interviews were conducted with ten participants by two research team members and transcripts from these interviews were qualitatively analysed using a thematic coding process to identify the patients’ perspectives of contracting an HAI.
Results: The participants had a range of different HAIs. The participants described how the experience of having an HAI can be very isolating and distressing from the patient perspective, with life-long implications. This contributes to our understanding of the way in which patients are impacted emotionally and mentally as a result of contracting an HAI.
Conclusion: There is a need for improved, person-centred communication about the source, treatment, and prognosis of HAIs. The findings from our study indicate the importance of considering patients’ voices in their own health car
