Collective Explorations of Pedagogy
Get PDFIt is my experience of New Zealand counsellor education programmes that there is ongoing attention to curriculum content, programme aims, student assessment and programme evaluations however there appears less focus upon the pedagogical standpoints and practices that underpin our programmes and teaching practices. Commentating from the United States, Malott, Hall, Sheely-Moore, Krell, & Cardaciotto, (2014) make a similar claim suggesting that little is done to prepare doctoral students for teaching counselling when they exit the programmes and take up positions as faculty on counsellor education programmes and lament a dearth of research in best pedagogical practice. Similarly Negru (2010) writing on the pedagogy of economics education, describes the way in which the recent global financial crisis has forced a reconsideration in the way economics is taught. Negru critiques the “lack of pluralism in teaching economics” (p. 183) and makes a plea for greater debate around the ‘what and how’ of teaching from a pluralist outlook.
This paper explores this theme of pedagogy and pluralism and outlines the establishment of a co-operative research inquiry (Heron, & Reason, 2001) by the researcher with five colleagues teaching on a specifically bicultural undergraduate counselling degree programme in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The programme is underpinned by values, philosophies and theories of Māori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) and also draws on a range of theories from humanistic and postmodern positions. Aspects of a grounded theory are used in capturing the ‘pedagogical theories in use’ for the educators involved and the implications of the diverse philosophical, theoretical and pedagogical standpoints amongst the team, are explored. The implications for programme coherency and collaborative teaching are also highlighted. It is hoped this paper will offer ways to reflect on our pedagogical standpoints and consider how best to serve our programmes in contemporary time
Using of emotion mining techniques for opinions analysis on the issue of Hijab
No full textClassification and sentiment analysis and research is one of the most important issues in recent times, especially in the realm of language is Persian. Identify the user sentiments about an issue through a process of expressing a sense of individual and output data analysis work is in the context of Hijab of natural language processing and computational linguistics, artificial intelligence is a subsidiary. The need to categorize and production data sources in our field and that's the dress code, according to the news raised in this context and user reaction to the news texts, to provide a data set with an algorithm that on it has been implemented. The algorithm proposed in this study using text mining techniques and algorithms applied weight to words and try to identify the type of polarization of the comments gathered from official sites built in 1000. Analysis on the words in the comments feature has been conducted. It focused on the importance of the word in a sentence
Revision of submission guidelines for KaiTiaki Nursing Research
No full textThe editor-in-chief of Kai Tiaki Nursing Research welcomes research papers and reviews on nursing (including clinical, research, education or management topics) with implications for nursing practice and health and social care policy research. Authors should present original research, or new and original analysis of existing research. Kai Tiaki Nursing Research particularly encourages submission of research manuscripts that take account of health inequities and injustice, and enhance the health of the diverse ethnic populations of Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Kai Tiaki Nursing Research is an internationally double-blinded peer-reviewed research journal that publishes original, full-length research manuscripts from New Zealand-based nurse researchers (or other researchers where the research can be shown to have particular relevance to nursing in New Zealand). In addition to research manu- scripts, the journal will also publish letters to the editor, commentary and research brief articles. All research manuscripts and other articles will be subjected to the same robust review procedure.
The aim of the journal is to promote practice-related scholarship which contributes to the professional knowledge and evidence base for nursing. The language of the journal is English.
Kai Tiaki Nursing Research is available in the following databases: CINAHL Complete (Ebsco); Academic OneFile, Health Reference Center Academic, Nursing and Allied Health Collection and Nursing Resource Center (Gale); Health Collection and New Zealand Collection (Informit)
Cadmium leaching in New Zealand soils
No full textCadmium (Cd) is a biotoxic metal which has increased in New Zealand agricultural soils due to phosphate fertilizer application. It is not clear whether Cd is moving through the soil depth. Understanding Cd losses from soil is important because of potential for leaching through the soil profile to groundwater or uptake by plants and animals. The concentration and distribution of Cd in irrigated and unirrigated soils that had received the same phosphate fertiliser history were investigated. Pairs of soil samples from 4 depths (0-10, 10-20, 20-30 and 30-40 cm) were taken from irrigated and unirrigated areas in the same paddock on 22 dairy farms in Canterbury, Manawatu and the Bay of Plenty. The mean concentration of Cd in topsoil (0-10 cm) as well as the total mass of Cd (0-40 cm) in unirrigated soils were higher (P < 0.05) than irrigated soils. The difference in Cd concentration between the irrigated and unirrigated topsoils was less than 0.1 mg kg-1 in about 82% of samples and about 5% of added Cd was removed from the topsoil due to irrigation. Thus, the results indicated that Cd was strongly adsorbed to the topsoil and was not significantly mobilized by irrigation and evidence for movement of Cd with drainage to lower soil horizons and groundwater is very limited
A return to the “good old days”: Back to the future of Aotearoa New Zealand social services. Re-Imagining Social Work in Aotearoa New Zealand Blog
No full textThe holiday mood is a seductive one, with its many competing discourses of hope, indulgence, generosity and belonging. We don rose coloured glasses to look back at our successes and dare to keep them on while looking forward. We fully expect that in the next few weeks, when our toes are firmly in the sand and our rosy glasses are at their most glorious tint, we will receive the promised report of the CYF ‘overhaul.’ This seasonal blog post is in anticipation of this. It is written by Bobby Bryan, a new social work academic at Te Kuritini o Waikato (Wintec). Bobby has worked for Child Youth and Family, the Office of the Children’s Commissioner, Ministry of Health, Department of Corrections, non-government Youth Health Services, Kaupapa Māori family violence services, and as a social services consultant. He looks back on the good times of social services in Aotearoa New Zealand with the hope that the memory of these will provide strength for social workers and for Child Youth and Family in 201

Is that what they said? An automated reference finder
Get PDFThis work investigates the feasibility of using freely available online resources to create an application that can automatically discover and display original source articles that a student cites and references. A prototype application was created that used CiteSeerExtractor to extract reference details from the student work, and then used Crossref.org to return web page addresses of the original journal articles or abstracts. Initial results successfully demonstrate that the idea is effective. It is concluded that further development would result in a useful tool for assisting in the marking of student work
