ItemInvestigation of Saudi Teachers’ Perceptions of Teaching and Learning after a 12-month Professional Development Programme LearningKlatt, M ; Berry, A ; Suryani, A ; Volkoff, V ; Khadawardi, H (Edith Cowan University, 2020)This study investigates the perceptions of teaching and learning of teachers from Saudi Arabia who participated in a 12-month professional development programme based in Australia. Considering the design of the programme and the vast differences between the education systems and cultures of the two countries, this study examines Saudi teachers’ classroom practices and challenges while teaching at schools in their home country, and whether their perceptions of teaching practice changed during and after participating in the professional development programme in Australia. Factors that might have influenced the changes to and nature of their teaching aspirations and plans for their students and schools in Saudi Arabia are also discussed.

There is a growing tendency in the academic literature to avoid separating the national and the EU level of policy-making. The globalisation pressures and national interest advocated by each EU Member State are strongly mediated by specific ‘actorness’ of the EU: number and variety of actors involved in education policy-making and implementation. This chapter brings a political science perspective to help open a ‘black box’ of policy-making in the EU. It contextualises the inner-workings of the EU, its structure and relationship with its Member States. It begins by providing a theoretical background of the day-to-day policy making by analysing the agency- structure dichotomy in the EU policy-making. Next, it analyses the institutional arrangements of the EU focusing on ‘soft law’ and policy-making of the European Council, the European Commission and the European Parliament. Further, it defines the growing in prominence concept of Europeanisation which is understood as a three-way analytical concept which includes the infiltration of the Member States’ policy preferences or rules into the EU, the ‘national adaptation’ of EU policies as well as horizontal exchanges. The chapter also provides explanation of how the EU is perceived through ‘normative power’ concept, as well as how Member States themselves become ‘norm entrepreneurs’.

ItemWorking their way to school completion: School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships for young AustraliansClarke, K ; KLATT, M ; Dulfer, N ; Cruickshank, E ; Smith, E ; Gonan, P ; Foley, A (Australian Scholarly Publishing, 2015)This paper is part of a three-year longitudinal study of School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs), which seeks to explore the nature and effectiveness of SBATs as a pathway from school to sustainable occupational employment. This paper discusses past and current policy trends and objectives represented by various Australian jurisdictions. It focuses on building a detailed illustration of the learner profile of SBATs and the type of occupations and qualifications being undertaken at school. This analysis was achieved through statistical analysis of two Combined Unit Record Files (CURFs) obtained from National Centre for Vocational Education Research (NCVER). This quantitative work builds the basis for future work future qualitative work exploring the motivations, expectations and experiences of SBAT learners.
