Just Published!!
https://open-publishing.org/journals/index.php/jutlp/article/view/1515 The Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice has released our article! This is Amy’s very first publication and it was SO exciting to be part of that process with her.

NAEEA 2024 Conference – Darwin +
Sad news first of all. My principle supervisor Anna Fletcher has had to pull out due to some very serious health issues. It does not look good at all and I think Stuart, my remaining supervisor and I are both in a bit of shock. It has all happened quite quickly so no doubt Anna…

Mixed update
I laughed at the title I just wrote – Mixed Update! Hahaha everything seems very mixed at the moment! Everything I tell you! I spent $200 to buy a better coffee machine for the staff room and no one uses it. That probably explains why no one has said thank-you. Recruitment has officially started for…

Random thoughts on Self-Efficacy
I keep seeing statements in published articles about enabling students, or equity group students, students that belong to some form of “disadvantaged” background, etc where they state (as if it was just a fact) that these students have low self-efficacy or LOWER than other student groups. Some of them have a reference to back this…

Take That!
I had an extreme case of satisfaction in my PhD meeting today. Despite their concerns about me juggling too many projects I was able to send them a full draft of the first publication for my PhD. For anyone that has forgotten that is a scoping literature review where I personally applied inclusion/exclustion criteria to…

Pain, suffering and a citation!
When I found out I got the NAEEA grant I was so happy, and surprised, I gasped! I was conscious that my associate supervisor was there and probably wasn’t aware I had even applied for the grant, or that I was doing that side-project. But that project already has ethics approval, so I’ve been working…

Reflexivity
Now that I know I actually have 16 weeks and not just 8 to do the revisions for confirmation I have relaxed, a LOT! But the next part I need to write does require more thinking and less reading and writing I guess. I have to add a section to the ethical considerations about reflexivity…

Theoretical Framework
I have been trying desperately to wrap my head around Social Cognitive Theory this last little bit. I just did NOT see how it applied to my project because I am not interested in student behaviors, their choices (agency) and I’m only interested in their environment in that I want to improve enabling programs. I…

10 days later
It has been 10 days since my confirmation of candidature. I feel more positive overall about it now. That is mostly because of the meeting I had with my supervisors where we were both able to acknowledge that time management leading up to confirmation wasn’t the best. They also presented me some very logical arguments…

Got the email!
I am very happy I didn’t have to wait a whole week, they sent the confirmation report today! It is still hard to read in parts and feels negative but I just keep telling myself not to take it personally. One thing really positive they said was that my project was timely and really significant…
