title: Cross-autocorrelation in the New Zealand stock market

authors: Choi, Daniel F.S.

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: We examine the New Zealand stock market for evidence of cross-autocorrelation. We find some evidence of both Lo and MacKinlay's (1990) size effect and Chordia and Swaminathan's (2000) volume effect. Moreover, in the size portfolios, the results of cross-autocorrelations are consistent with the findings of Li and Xu (2002) published in Applied Economics Letters. In the size-volume portfolios, this study reveals a special characteristic of the New Zealand stock market that lagged returns of a larger-volume portfolio may not always lead returns of a smaller-volume portfolio.

title: Professional learning in the lives of teachers: towards a new framework for conceptualising teacher learning

authors: Cameron, Sandra

subjects: inservice teachers

abstract: This interpretative study of teachers as learners explored the continuing professional learning of teachers in a range of Australian schools. While teacher learning is regarded as a cornerstone of school reform, knowledge of how and why teachers engage in ongoing learning is scant. Research participants completed an open-ended questionnaire about their professional learning experiences and participated in semi-structured interviews in which they shared their learning narratives. The study found three sets of major influences on teachers’ engagement with professional learning and the quality of that learning. These influences were isolation (both geographic and professional), cost (both educational and emotional), and the professional and personal life stages of teachers. A new descriptive framework through which to understand the intricate interconnections between teacher-learners, professional learning and learning contexts across teaching careers is proposed.

title: Participatory design in Māori cultural contexts

authors: Bowen, Judy

subjects: computer science

abstract: The Hakituri project aims to develop practical and ethical wearable monitoring solutions for workers in hazardous industries. We identified specific challenges pertinent to our participatory design process for this project which relate to the indigenous participants, cultural expectations and data sovereignty. As we developed the ideas for our design process, further challenges became evident. In this paper we explore the challenges that unfolded and describe how we began to mitigate them and develop ideas for similar future challenges.
