Work Placement for International Student Programmes (WISP): A model of effective practice
No full textWith a marked increase in the number of international students enrolling in university programs across the globe it is important that personal and professional experiences are positive. Of interest is the workplace component of international students’ study programs, as these experiences provide opportunities for students to socialise into new workplaces and cultural contexts. This chapter presents a theoretical model that takes into account the relationship between the concepts of internationalisation, professional socialisation, reflection and cultural development. It explores Knight’s (1999) work on internationalisation; research on personal and professional socialisation; effective reflective practice; and the notion of cultural development (Wells, 2000). We argue that an enhanced ethos approach, together with strong personal and professional student and staff agency and reflective practice, enhances the work placement experience. If all these elements are taken into account and the interrelationship between them is understood, we contend that it is more likely for workplace experiences to be positive and meaningful for all stakeholders
Who fails whom? A case study exploration of factors leading to unsuccessful international pre-service teachers’ work placements
No full textThis chapter presents four case studies describing both individual and systematic causes for international pre-service teachers failing field experience. The study is framed within Lave and Wenger’s (1991) and Wenger’s (2008) notion of situated learning. The participants were four pre-service teachers (one 3rd-year undergraduate, one 4th-year undergraduate and two graduate diploma students) and their four respective school supervising teachers. Individual factors that contributed to failure were lack of English language proficiency, lack of understanding of the Australian schooling system and how to behave appropriately on field experience placements. Systematic factors that contributed to failure included lack of communication between the teacher training institution and schools and a perceived lack of support from the teacher training institution by both the pre-service teachers and the school supervising teachers. The findings conclude that there needs to be clearer communication between all stakeholders to ensure all understand their roles and responsibilities in supporting international pre-service teachers on field experience
"I Can't Get No Satisfaction": an inquiry into "Thematic Communication" as a motivation approach to encourage students continuing music after it is no longer compulsory
No full textThe paper builds on research by Hartwig (2003), Lowe (2008 and 2010) and Wise (2010) that establishes the issues in declining numbers of students taking up music after year eight compulsory classroom music. The data for this enquiry is based on a Townsville secondary school as a case study and develops a qualitative and quantitative analysis of what motivates students to continue music after year eight. After a series of elicitation interviews with students a survey is constructed, based on "Persuasive Communication Theory" or "Theory of Planned Behaviour" as outlined by Ajzen (1991) as well as Ham et al. (2009). These results are then coded and analyzed within the categories of "Behavioural Beliefs", "Normative Beliefs" and "Control Beliefs".
The survey results showed that some of the issues that concerned students were the complexity of advanced music studies, busy schedules and the usefulness of music for their future career path.
The outcome of this analysis enables the development of a "Thematic Communication" approach that may influence year eight students to continue music in years 9 – 12
The status of Aboriginal water holdings in the Murray-Darling Basin
No full textThis report presents the findings of a data benchmarking exercise commissioned by the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA). The report intends to improve understanding of current Aboriginal surface water and groundwater access and basic demographic data across current water management units in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB). The MDBA commissioned this work following similar research that the lead author completed as part of her PhD at Griffith University (Hartwig, 2020). That work examined Aboriginal water entitlements for only the NSW portion of the MDB (see also Hartwig, Jackson & Osborne, 2020). The specific tasks of this project were to: • Update (2016) Aboriginal population statistics for all regions across the Basin, based on Surface Water Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) resource units; • Establish a Basin-wide 2020 Aboriginal water holdings baseline/s that is compatible with Basin Plan water accounting methods; • Where possible, document changes to Aboriginal water holdings over the last 10 years; • Identify features of entitlement and licencing systems and recordkeeping that limit future monitoring of Aboriginal water holdings; and, • Develop recommendations for the MDBA and the Basin States and Territories to improve monitoring of water access for Aboriginal peoples and inform future research. The information contained in this report will be useful to policy-makers and officials from the MDBA, the Indigenous Land & Sea Corporation (ILSC), New South Wales Aboriginal Land Council (NSWALC), and various state and federal government agencies. It will also be of use to Basin Aboriginal peoples and their representative organisations, including (but not limited to) the Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations (MLDRIN) and Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations (NBAN). More specifically, these baselines will be of crucial importance to current government efforts to develop new policies and programs targeted at improving Aboriginal water access in line with national water policy; evaluate and monitor existing plans and programs (including the Basin Plan); and, assist First Nations people to contribute to water policy. It also complements the recent assessment of social and economic conditions in the MDB (Sefton et al., 2020).Full Tex
American Translations of Julia Hartwig. Peryphery and Paraphernalia
No full textThe author discusses a new feature, which develops in Julia Hartwig’s poetry after her several visits to the States in the years 1970-1974 and her immediate introduction to the American verse - through reading and translating. In Hartwig’s poetry, new mundane lyrical situations appear and her verse becomes much more concrete, but also voyeuristic. Some analyses of excerpts from her Dziennik amerykański [American Diary] and Wiersze amerykańskie [Americana] are provided, as well as of The Young Housewife by William Carlos Williams in Polish translations done by Hartwig, Piotr Sommer, and Stanisław Barańczak.Autorka opisuje nowy rys, który pojawił się w liryce Julii Hartwig po tym, jak począwszy od lat 70. XX wieku, odbyła kilka dłuższych i krótszych wizyt w Stanach Zjednoczonych, gdzie zaczęła czytać i tłumaczyć poezję amerykańską. W poezji Hartwig pojawiły się nowe, bardziej przyziemne sytuacje liryczne, a sama poezja stała się bardziej nasycona konkretem, choć także voyeurystyczna. W artykule zostają przywołane i zinterpretowane wyimki z Dziennika amerykańskiego oraz Wierszy amerykańskich Hartwig, a także liryk Williama Carlosa Williamsa The Young Housewife w oryginale i przekładach Hartwig, Piotra Sommera i Stanisława Barańczaka
What Does Internationalisation or Interculturalisation Look Like in the Future in the Higher Education Sector?
No full textWhat is internationalisation? What is interculturalization? What will these concepts look like in the future? Will they exist or move beyond their current state? Where are universities/higher education institutions headed with their international strategies as they prepare global citizens for the future? How will universities of the future cater for international students? These are the questions considered in this final chapter. This chapter contains reflections from the team members. We begin by defining internationalization and interculturalization in relation to employability. This is followed with reflections on the project as it was experienced within the six participating universities. We then bring together the reflections to highlight the key themes, which inform recommendations for practice and for future research
Sztuka zamieszkiwania - o wierszu "Drzewo to dom" Julii Hartwig
No full textThe article is an analysis the poem by Julia Hartwig Drzewo to dom. The text from the
book of poetry Zobaczone is real by the author as an expression of a deep need of a “double
rooting” in a spiritual, metaphysical as well as earthly, physical sense, but also as a poetical
reflection on the art of living in oneself, in one’s psychophysical separation, in the
culture, and, among others, in the community of a “human family”
"Žena je jedno ništa" Mele Hartwig. Feminizam u književnom narativu postimperijalnog naslijeđa
No full textThe Austrian writer Mela Hartwig (1893–1967) interprets the reality of women in the post-imperial period and shows the consequences of misogynist theories for the construction of feminine identity. In the short story „Das Verbrechen“ („The Crime“), the author describes the psychopathological relationship between the father and the daughter through a cruel „play“ motivated by Freud's theory of psychoanalysis. In the novel Das Weib ist ein Nichts (The Woman is a Nothing), Hartwig deals with the constellation of institutional and extra-institutional power. The writer chooses a very radical, unusual and provocative form of analysis and criticism to show a dominant masculine culture. In her literary discourse, the "new woman" of the liberal 1920s is cast as a myth since Hartwig does not show optimism about upcoming changes in gender relations
Marx's reproduction schemes and the Keynesian multiplier: a reply to Sardoni
No full textIn a recent contribution to this journal, C. Sardoni takes issue with the identification by Trigg, in a 2006 publication, of a role for the Keynesian investment multiplier in Marx's schemes of reproduction. Indirectly, Sardoni also expresses his disagreement with Hartwig (by attributing one of his statements to Trigg). We appreciate the opportunity to defend our view against Sardoni's critique. This reply shows that a bridging point between Marx and Keynes can be established without recourse to microfoundations. As suggested by both Trigg, in 2006, and Hartwig, in 2004, the well known Harrod--Domar model of economic growth provides an interpretation of Marx's reproduction schemes that has the Keynesian multiplier as a constituent element. This note will further explore the assumptions underlying the interface between Marx and Keynes, in response to the challenging questions raised in Sardoni's contribution. Copyright The Author 2010.
