Introduction: Defining and Theorising Key Concepts of Resilience and Well-Being and Arts-Based Research
No full textResilience and well-being are critical attributes for survival in today’s world. Often people face many challenges in the home, workplace environments and/or educational institutions. This chapter will introduce and theorise key concepts such as resilience, well-being and reflection. It will advocate for arts-based approaches to researching these core principles as the arts can trigger different ways of knowing and thinking about situations that require reflection for advancement. The volume will take the World Health Organisation’s (Mental health: A state of well-being, Retrieved from: http://www.who.int/features/factfiles/mental_health/en/, 2014) definition of well-being as “the state in which an individual realises his or her own abilities, can cope with normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his or her own community” (WHO, p. 1). Resilience is related to the ideal of well-being as it refers to how people adapt to and adopt the ability to cope with challenges and new circumstances.Full Tex
Book Review: The Ordeal of Thomas Barton: Anglican Missionary in the Pennsylvania Backcountry, 1755-1780
No full textThe Ordeal of Thomas Barton is a highly informative read that I recommend for anyone interested in the history of eighteenth-century Pennsylvania. Scholars will find the book useful for its many connections to the histories of settlement, religion, politics, Indian diplomacy, and warfare on the Pennsylvania frontier. The book\u27s author, Gettysburg College English professor James P. Myers, Jr., has written the most deeply researched account of Barton\u27s importance in eighteenth-century religion and politics, and has contributed some of the finest overall scholarship on early Pennsylvania in recent years. Based in Huntington Township in what is now Adams County, and later in Lancaster, Barton was an Anglican frontier clergyman, missionary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (S.P.G.), and a client of the Penn family. The word ordeal aptly summarizes the tumultuous life and career of Thomas Barton, which spanned the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. [excerpt

Arts-Based Research Across the Lifespan and Its Contribution to Resilience and Well-Being
No full textIn this chapter we present a summary of seven positive influences on resilience and well-being that are identified within the research presented in the preceding chapters. We theorise that arts-based research methods: provide agency through the foregrounding of participants’ voices; afford transformational learning opportunities; create opportunities for relationship building; support creativity and new ways of thinking; generate aspirations and hope; encourage forms of communication that expose ideas, emotions and feelings that previously might not have been known or known how to be expressed; and enhance reflection and reflexivity. To conclude, each editor provides a reflection on the contribution the arts or arts-based research have had on their personal learning and experiences at various stages of their own lives
A Reflexive Approach to Teaching Writing: Enablements and Constraints in Primary School Classrooms
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from SAGE Publications via the DOI in this recordWriting requires a high level of nuanced decision-making related to language, purpose, audience, and medium. Writing teachers thus need a deep understanding of language, process, and pedagogy, and of the interface between them. This article draws on reflexivity theory to interrogate the pedagogical priorities and perspectives of 19 writing teachers in primary classrooms across Australia. Data are composed of teacher interview transcripts and nuanced time analyses of classroom observation videos. Findings show that teachers experience both enabling and constraining conditions that emerge in different ways in different contexts. Enablements include high motivations to teach writing and a reflective and collaborative approach to practice. However, constraints were evident in areas of time management, dominance of teacher talk, teachers’ scope and confidence in their knowledge and practice, and a perceived lack of professional support for writing pedagogy. The article concludes with recommendations for a reflexive approach to managing these emergences in the teaching of writing.Australian Research Counci

Building Quality Assurance into Metadata Creation: an Analysis based on the Learning Objects and e-Prints Communities of Practice
No full textThis paper challenges some of the assumptions underlying the metadata creation process in the context of two communities of practice, based around learning object repositories and open e-Print archives. The importance of quality assurance for metadata creation is discussed and evidence from the literature, from the practical experiences of repositories and archives, and from related research and practices within other communities is presented. Issues for debate and further investigation are identified, formulated as a series of key research questions. Although there is much work to be done in the area of quality assurance for metadata creation, this paper represents an important first step towards a fuller understanding of the subject.
