The WASRA reveals tensions in translating reading aloud practices into daily practice due to reported lack of time and high curriculum demands. The findings suggest that primary school teachers typically enjoy reading aloud to children, though fewer enjoyed reading themselves. Recommendations are provided to address time and curriculum demands purported as being inhibitors of daily reading practices. These recommendations go some way to help mitigate against literacy inequities within our primary classrooms and in so doing encourage provision of daily reading opportunities for teachers and reading aloud practices.]]> Wed 20 Jul 2022 09:49:28 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40731 Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:55:21 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7427 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:22:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44074 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:22:10 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37989 Thu 14 Mar 2024 12:23:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6533 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:23:35 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5337 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:45:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:108 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:48 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25649 TM, a 50-day pedometer-monitored event, aimed at children and involving their parents and teachers. Our research problematises the effects of the GCC pedometer exercise regime. We demonstrate how the pedometer measurement imperative made available in the GCC not only enables exercise to be measured for potential health benefits but also makes available tools inextricably linked with antagonistic body relations that could propel some students into a self-monitoring world dominated by numbers. We illustrate how the emphasis on measurement allows for comparisons (dividing practices), self-surveillance and surveillance of others in the formation of particular kinds of subjectivities. This study of the discursive construction of student subjectivities in the GCC took place in one strategically chosen Australian primary school. In-depth interviews were conducted with one teacher, four Year-6 students and a parent of each child in order to produce rich contextual data. Foucauldian concepts of power, knowledge and 'technologies of self' underpinned the study and Gore's methodologies for analysing 'techniques of power' and 'regimes of truth' were used to explore the functioning of power and the formation of subjectivities in the GCC. Our analysis suggests a need to move away from the constraining construct of measurement in the primary physical education (PE) classroom and promote self-reflective mindful physical activity rather than telling students when, where and how to move their bodies.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:07 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32015 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:36:15 AEST ]]>
