Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.31, vol.16, no.2, 1994

Abstract: An inquiry was held to identify the professional and personal benefits to learners, associate teachers in Fiji, from hosting a practicum programme from an Australian university in their class(es) and schools. Data provided by 38 associate teachers, eight secondary school principals and eight primary school head teachers from 23 schools in the Lautoka area of Fiji report positively on the professional and personal gains from hosting a three-week practicum for Australian student teachers. The teachers felt that the practicum was of benefit to their pupils as well as contributing to their own professional development.

Author: Clark, John Andrew
Subject:  School management and organization|Decision making
Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.42, vol.22, no.1, 2000
Collation: p. 85-96 ;

Abstract: The success of any educational institution is dependent to some extent on how the policymanagement relationship is dealt with. Clark argues that decision-making should be a collaborative process; there must be a sharing of ideas and complete confidence in the integrity of the people concerned. Equally, accountability is shared.

Title: Book review of Examination systems in small states : comparative perspectives on policies, models and operations

Author: Tavola, Helen Goodwill
Subject:  
Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.44, vol.23, no.1, 2001
Collation: p. 97-102 ;

Abstract: All Pacific Island countries are relatively small, and there are small states in many other parts of the world. The authors of the book that Tavola reviews examine the positive and negative aspects of how small states operate their school examination systems, and the pros and cons of having national, as opposed to regional and international systems. The book is very relevant to the Pacific and will interest all those involved in examinations: students, teachers and planners.
