Making a Place in the Global City: The Relevance of Indicators of Integration
No full textThis paper builds upon major ongoing work into the experiences of new migrants seeking, to construct new lives in the UK (Aldridge and Waddington 2002 Goodson and Phillimore 2005; Goodson et al. 2005; Phillimore et al. 2003 2004; Phillimore and Goodson 2002 Robinson et al. 2003; Zetter et al. 2003)and focuses upon the experiences of refugees who have arrived in Birmingham since the early 1990s. The paper outlines the indicators of integration proposed by Ager and Strang (2004) for the United Kingdom's Home Off-ice. It then uses data from household surveys, in-depth interviews and focus groups conducted in the West Midlands to explore how useful indicators might be in evaluating progress towards integration within new migrant Communities. The paper specifically examines the efficacy of functional indicators, which in Ager and Strang's (2004) framework are represented as 'means and markers' and include employment, housing, education and health. It aims to consider the usefulness of these functional indicators as a measure of integration and the ways in which the indicators might be shaped to help policy makers work towards promoting integration in a multi-cultural global City Such as Birmingham
Here, there and everywhere: measurement, assessment and attainment
Get PDFThis chapter utilises elements of the '5Rs' framework suggested by the book's editors Rudd and Goodson, in order to (1) highlight the ways in which the practice and uses of assessment have been applied through policy in recent years; (2) consider the effect this has had on teaching, learning and the culture of schools; (3) suggest ways in which this dominant, regressive narrative is refracted in practice and the ways in which it can be questioned and resisited. The author argues for a continuing renewal of assessment as a formative and interactive aspect of teaching and learning where more critical and empowering pedagogoies and learning identites can develop
Times of educational change: towards an understanding of patterns of historical and cultural refraction
No full textProfessor Goodson reports on some of the findings from a four year study (2004-2008)of educational reforms in England and Wales, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and Greece. Educational reform is one area where the limitations of neo-liberal thinking have been demonstrated in the financial crisis. By studying the different ranges of national responses and understsanding the different contexts for educational change in historical periods, the author suggests it is possible to think differently about educational restructuring

Always a story
Get PDFThis chapter frames the process of autoethnography as the enactment of narrative inquiry, learning and pedagogy through exploration and discussion of: story as narrative research; autobiographical memory as a form of narrative construction; the ways in which these elements form narrative learning; and the implications of this in developing pedagogy. The importance and significance of learning through the reflexive articulation of personal expereince is the theme that unites the sections of the chapter. The author draws upon a number of narratives from their own research, learning and teaching to illustrate the discussion, highlighting the ways in which learning from expereince about ourselves, others and the cultures that we live and work within is also the theme that unites the various elements of the author's interaction with other teachers and students of education

Screening for gestational diabetes mellitus in a predominantly Indigenous population in rural New Zealand
No full textScreening for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus in a Predominantly Indigenous Population in Rural New Zealand Contact author: Isabel Raiman, RN BSc MSc Nurse Practitioner Diabetes Bay of Plenty District Health Board Private Bag 12024, Tauranga, New Zealand Ph: +6475798765 Fax: +6475710645 Email: [email protected] Jennifer Goodson RN Clinical Study Coordinator Bay of Plenty District Health Board Dr Barbara Daly RN BSc MHSc PhD Senior Lecturer in Nursing, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland. Background: The rates of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) have been increasing in New Zealand over the last 5 years with the number of pregnancies associated with GDM rising from 1.3% in 2001 to 4.9% in 2012. Despite this the diabetes team notes a decline in referrals for GDM in a rural area of New Zealand with a predominantly indigenous population. Aims: To identify the screening rate for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a region of New Zealand with a predominantly indigenous population. Methods: An audit was undertaken of routine hospital data collected from 656 women who gave birth over two six-month periods (July to December in 2013 and 2014) in two small rural hospitals in New Zealand. Results: Of the 656 women who gave birth during this period, only 416 (63%) were screened for GDM. After controlling for age, screening was less common in Māori women (56%), and in Pacific women (50%) when compared with European women, (see Table 1). After adjusting for ethnicity, women aged 35-40 years were more likely to be screened compared with women aged 25-29 years (1.24, 95% CI 1.06-1.47, p=0.02). Screening was associated with longer hospital stays following birth, with screened women more likely to stay >5 days compared with unscreened women <1 day, (1.44, 95% CI 1.25-1.66, p<0.0001). Screening was significantly higher in 2014 than 2013 (1.17 95% CI 1.04-1.32, p=0.008). Conclusion: Results from this study demonstrate a poor uptake of screening for GDM particularly in the indigenous population. A multidisciplinary team initiative based in the maternity clinic in 2014 may explain the improvement in screening that year. However, increased effort is required to improve screening rates, especially for Maori and Pacific women who are at higher risk of developing GDM. Further research will help identify reason for low screening rates in this population
