Impact evaluation of the Teacher Internship Placement Program (2019 - 2020)$31,191
- Description
- The Teacher Internship Placement Program allows final year students to spend a whole calendar year in a school where they will gain a permanent position the following year after graduation. The focus of the research will be the TIPP cohorts from 2016 and 2017, and a sample of beginning teachers from the same graduating cohort who did not complete the TIPP. These participants will be invited to complete a survey and be available for face-to-face interviews. Senior staff at participating schools will also be invited to participate in a face-to-face or telephone interview.

- Description
- As part of the Teacher Development Initiative, the Tasmanian Department of Education is sponsoring up to 25 teachers annually (commencing in 2017) to complete the Graduate Certificate in Inclusive Education. This Graduate Certificate was adapted by UTAS to suit this cohort. This proposal responds to the Departments request to gain insight into the impact of staff completion of the Graduate Certificate.

STEAM HORIZONS: Engagement and Alignment through Interdisciplinary Education (2017)$11,148
- Description
- Tasmania has significant socio-economic challenges, with the lowest level of educational attainment in Australia. Tasmania has experienced persistent underperformance in the transition to Year 10 and subsequent retention rates to Year 12 (Stratford, Field, Oliver and Ambrose, 2016, p. 4). It is estimated that Tasmania is 10,000 tertiary enrolments behind the next lowest performing state, with significant challenges in encouraging students to complete Years 11 and 12 (in 2011 the retention rate for Year 12 was 78.2%, compared with 84.1% nationally [http://www.dpac.tas.gov.au/divisions/csr/]). At the same time, Tasmania is host to arguably the most vibrant interdisciplinary creative community in the country, as exemplified by exhibition, festival and community projects supported through MONA (including 24 Carrot Gardens) and other island-based creative and education industries (such as Bitlink); and, outstanding examples of secondary school STEAM education across the state (Newstead College, Launceston; Rosny College, Hobart). These resonate with UTAS initiatives such as the Collab Lab (Makers Workshop, Burnie); A Lab (Melville Street, Hobart); the major new infrastructure development represented by the Hedberg (Hobart); the Creative Exchange Institute (CXI); and, the overarching goals of the Peter Underwood Centre.STEAM can be broadly defined as including the arts, here creative arts, in the delivery of traditional STEM disciplines. STEAM Horizons: Engagement and attainment through interdisciplinary education will explore models for STEAM education in secondary education in Tasmania, and resulting pathways into tertiary education. It will address the questions: what forms of educational design supportsuccessful (interdisciplinary) STEAM education; and, how can educational attainment be enabled through STEAM pathways?The project will directly build upon the successful Office of Learning & Teaching Innovation & Development grant Benchmarking quality assessment tasks to facilitate interdisciplinary learning in the creative arts and humanities (2014-6; AUS$199,000) on which Wise was a CI (previously Lead Researcher), supported by Dr Wendy Fountain, to extend the application of those findings into secondary education, wider disciplinary networks, as well as the specific interdisciplinary field of STEAM education.
