Interpreting Huizinga through Bourdieu: a new lens for understanding the commodification of play element in society and its effects on genuine community

This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of Open Access.This article explores the transformation of play in the sport field by combining Johan Huizinga’s historical observations of play with Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital and habitus, using Australian football in the Australian Football League (AFL) as a case study. By developing this theory, this analysis provides a means of understating how the economic and media fields have transformed play, which has ultimately weakened the community. Furthermore, by interpreting Huizinga’s observations using Bourdieu’s concepts, I have provided Huizinga’s observations with a theoretical framework and structure that ensures his observations can be applied to today’s society to understand how and why the play element has changed and what the consequences of such change are for the community.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut

Dialogues of diversity: examining the role of educational drama techniques in affirming diversity and supporting inclusive educational practices in primary schools
No full textItem not available from this repository - Item availability may be restrictedThe aim of this article is to provide primary teachers with effective ways of engaging in drama processes to affirm diversity and to promote inclusive education in regard to cultural and linguistic diversity. It is informed by, and a response to, the ‘cultural and linguistic’ section within the recently revised version of the Drama Australia Equity and Diversity Guidelines to which both authors contributed. It examines some ways in which recommendations and advice provided within the document can be enacted in primary schools through the use of drama education methods, in particular dramatic storytelling and process drama. Through their work the authors have found that drama techniques and processes can be highly effective in developing understandings of cultural and linguistic diversity within primary schools. By way of illustration this paper also focuses on the findings of a recent PhD project conducted by one of the authors, which focused on the education of pre-service primary teachers in the use of drama techniques to explore cultural identities and linguistic diversity. Specifically, it examined the roles culturally specific oral arts forms, including participatory storytelling (in this instance stories from South African cultures) can play in supporting drama pedagogy and intercultural understanding of pre-service primary teacher candidates and how they can transfer this knowledge to their teaching.Early Childhood EducationHolmesglen Institut
Junior doctors and nurses' views and experiences of medical error: moving toward shared learning and responsibility
No full textItem not available from this repository - Item availability may be restrictedCurrent guidelines for incident management and open disclosure emphasize team collaboration and openness yet little is known about how and to what extent junior doctors and nurses view and integrate these principles into their learning and practices. This research aims to compare and contrast junior doctors and nurses' attitudes and experiences regarding medical error and open disclosure and how they would disclose errors. The results indicated that the majority of respondents had personal involvement with near misses but experience with minor or serious errors were less common. Few had disclosed an error. Almost all agreed a serious error should be disclosed and 84% believed minor errors should be disclosed. Interns and nurses significantly differed in their views about the cause and importance of medical error and in their prior training experiences. Differences were also observed in the types of steps that respondents would take in managing an error. There was little recognition of the need to apologize when disclosing errors or to share the responsibility between the two professions. Knowledge gaps and different orientations toward error management and open disclosure between the two professional groups were evident. Interprofessional education specifically targeting junior doctors and nurses and promoting the concept of team disclosure is needed. Such training should form an essential part of a health organization's response to medical error.NursingHolmesglen Institut

Although a significant body of literature exists on the involvement of adult SPs, limited research has been conducted on the contribution of children and adolescents. This systematic review, using narrative summary with thematic synthesis, aims to report findings related to children/adolescents as simulated patients in health professions education (undergraduate or post-graduate). A systematic review of qualitative and quantitative literature published between 1980 and September 2014 was undertaken using databases including CINAHL, Ovid Medline and Scopus. The lack of literature related to the employment of children and adolescents in nursing education dictated the expansion of the search to the wider health professions. Key search terms related to the employment of children and adolescents in health professional education programs. A total of 58 studies reduced to 36 following exclusion based on abstract review. Twenty-two studies reached full text review; following application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 English language studies involving children and/or adolescents in simulation formed part of this systematic review. Five key themes emerged: Process related to recruitment, duration and content of training programs, support and debriefing practice, ethical considerations, and effects of participation for key stakeholders such as children and adolescents, parent and faculty, and learner outcomes. The results suggest that the involvement of children and adolescents in simulation for education and assessment purposes is valuable and feasible. The review identified the potential for harm to children/adolescents; however, rigorous selection, training and support strategies can mitigate negative outcomes. The ability of children to portray a role consistently across assessments, and deliver constructive feedback remains ambiguous.Allied Health Services and ScienceHolmesglen Institut
Providing palliative care in a rehabilitation setting: a staff needs assessment
No full textItem availability may be restricted - (login required for Holmesglen staff and students)Rehabilitation is aimed at maximising a person's ability to live well and as independently as possible within their circumstances. However, when a patient's condition deteriorates, health care professionals working in rehabilitation may be required to adopt a more palliative approach to care and need to be prepared for this to optimise quality of life and relieve suffering. This study aimed to identify the multidisciplinary health care team members' education and support needs in providing palliative care at an outer metropolitan in-patient rehabilitation facility. An exploratory study which used a mixed-method approach. A structured survey was administered to all clinical staff, and 58 completed surveys were returned. Subsequently, three focus group discussions were conducted where a summary of the survey results were presented and discussed by 22 survey respondents. In the survey, participants reported confidence in managing patients' physical care and providing support, though indicated the need for more education and support in palliative aspects of care. The focus group discussions uncovered challenges associated with the integration of palliative approaches to rehabilitative care that included: identifying when and how care transition occurs; and the skills and strategies needed to provide optimum care to the patient across this continuum. The study highlights the challenges rehabilitation health care professionals encountered in providing palliative care. To ensure that patients receive optimal care, participants stressed the importance of a supportive environment, adequate resources and being equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills.Allied Health Services and ScienceHolmesglen Institut
Voices from the grandstands: the attitudes of Australian football fans towards the concept of creating, developing and binding communities
No full textThis article explores the communities of the Australian Football League (AFL) from the point of view of fans. The notion of community is examined, as is the role Australian football has historically had in creating, developing and binding communities. The analysis examines how Australian football and its founding clubs
were created in the image of ‘the people’ and seeks to understand how the relationship between the AFL, its clubs and the fans changed as the competition was transformed into a business. The responses of fourteen interview participants, all current or former members of the AFL or its clubs, are utilised to illuminate the fans’ point of view regarding the ‘sense of community’ they feel in relation to the AFL club they support.Sports Media and Sport Business DegreesHolmesglen Institut
