This qualitative study evaluated the Technology Supported Induction Network's (TSIN) effect on 15 elementary education student teachers in isolated rural schools. The student teachers were 50-300 miles away from their university; thus, it was difficult for faculty to provide support and supervision. The TSIN provided student teachers with professional development opportunities and virtual connections to their peers and university through distance technology, including an online discussion board and compressed video. Findings indicate that the TSIN supported reflective practice, curricular and emotional support, and connections to peers, but not connections to the university. TSIN participants also developed their technology skills and confidence. The strengths and limitations of using distance technology to support student teachers are discussed along with recommendations for improving the TSIN design.
Integrating Technology during Student Teaching: An Examination of Teacher Work Samples

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Student Teaching,Student Teachers,Work Sample Tests,Technology Integration,Educational Technology,Teacher Education Programs,Models,Elementary Secondary Education,Preservice Teachers,Computer Uses in Education,Computers,Internet,Technology Uses in Education,Teacher Education

This study examined the teacher work samples of 197 student teachers to determine their level of technology integration during student teaching. Findings indicated that most student teachers planned to use some kind of technology, although only 40% planned to include computers and less than 20% planned for the use of computers by students. The barriers to technology integration were most often related to instruction (e.g., the technology did not serve the learning goals and the technology was not developmentally appropriate) rather than a lack of available resources and time. These findings may be explained in part by the unique character of the teacher work sample (TWS) data, which prompts student teachers to report on their technology use during a single unit of instruction.

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Popular Culture,Food,Art Therapy,Mass Media,Influences,Adolescents,Case Studies,Sexuality,Behavior,Internet

Electronic media provides rapid delivery and unlimited access to pictures, sounds, and information. The ubiquitous presence of techno-digital culture in the lives of today's adolescents may influence or contaminate the art therapy process. This article presents two case studies that illustrate how cyberspace entered into art therapy sessions and also how the process of art therapy empowered adolescent clients to transform pop culture images into personally meaningful ones.
Art Therapists' Emotional Reactions to the Demands of Technology

Art therapists increasingly are turning to educational and presentation technology to expand awareness of their field and to inform others in mental health care. This trend supports inquiry into how art therapists interact with and emotionally respond to the demands of technology. This paper presents a qualitative study that used 3 art-based focus groups (N = 13) to explore art therapists' reactions to technology. The phenomenological data analysis identified the dynamics and experiences that activated the participants' emotional responses to technology, which were most frequently cited as fear and anger. Results suggest a conflict between the desire to promote art therapy and engage in technology and the desire to remain loyal to the field's origins in traditional methods of communication and art media.

14 Secrets for a Happy Artist's Life is an online art exchange group founded by Gerity in 2006 as an egalitarian virtual community art studio. The online and mail art format provides a safe arena to create, view, and generously exchange artwork of all kinds. Ideas discovered within the virtual art studio have been applied to art therapy settings. The exchange of messages in the form of art objects enhanced predominantly online relationships and ameliorated the sense of unreality produced by rarely or never meeting online partners. This article outlines the many benefits and challenges of online art exchange and acknowledges the art therapists who have become Internet content creators building an online culture and community that reflects the ideals of the field of art therapy.

For mental health professionals, art assessment is a useful tool for patient evaluation and diagnosis. Consideration of various color-related elements is important in art assessment. This correlational study introduces the concept of variety of color as a new color-related element of an artwork. This term represents a comprehensive use of color, which is a trait that is usually subjectively assessed by a rater's personal knowledge, experience, feeling, and intuition. A sample of children's crayon drawings (N = 52) were evaluated both by human raters and also by a computer system that rated the variety of color present in each artwork by automatically detecting the number of colors used and the length of edges between colors. Comparing the human ratings with the computer ratings showed a high correlation of the results, leading to a conclusion that the computer system can be a useful aid for art assessment by human raters.

Children today are continually bombarded with visual and auditory stimulation, and many make their connections in cyberspace to the detriment of real-time face-to-face encounters with other people. The negative effects of multitasking and technological overload on children and adolescents are discussed in this viewpoint article from the perspective of a family art therapist. The impact of overstimulation on attachment, attention deficit disorder, and interpersonal skills has profound implications for children receiving art therapy.
Renewing the Debate: Digital Technology in Art Therapy and the Creative Process
Author: Austin, Brian D.
Date: 2009-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Creativity,Fantasy,Figurative Language,Art Therapy,Computer Assisted Design,Art Education

This viewpoint reviews several historical positions on the relationship between technology and creativity, and their implications for the practice of art therapy in the techno-digital age. The author posits that the question remains unanswered as to whether the profession will accept and become fully proficient in the use of the computer as a true creative and therapeutic medium. Because art therapists work with fantasy, projection, symbol, and metaphor, they are well positioned to contribute a unique perspective on the impact of technology on the creative process and on emotional life.
Within the Box: Cross-Cultural Art Therapy with Survivors of the Rwanda Genocide

Date: 2010-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder,Figurative Language,Death,Young Adults,Foreign Countries,Art Therapy,Homicide,Counseling Techniques,Emotional Response,Coping,Cultural Influences

This article discusses the creative making of boxes as a cross-cultural art therapy intervention in Kigali, Rwanda, with survivors of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The box as an art form is particularly applicable with young adult survivors, given the nature of their prodigious trauma and the possibility of posttraumatic stress disorder, as well as their cultural mode of emotional expression. Physical and metaphorical characteristics of the box are examined and discussed with corresponding aspects of the Rwandan culture. Three case examples from the art therapy group demonstrate how the metaphor of the box resonated with young adult genocide survivors and functioned as a catalyst for expression, healing, and reconnection with the self.

An Intersectional Framework for Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality in Art Therapy

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Sociocultural Patterns,Sexuality,Art Therapy,Racial Factors,Racial Identification,Social Class,Gender Differences,Counseling Techniques,Social Influences,Cultural Influences,Power Structure,Counselor Client Relationship

This article calls for an examination of identity and difference from a sociocultural perspective in art therapy theory and practice. Identity markers such as race, class, gender, and sexuality have tended to be seen in isolation and in ways that hamper the ability to understand and theorize difference. In constructing knowledge and in advancing more effective practices, art therapists need to examine identity and difference not only from a psychological perspective, but also from social and cultural ones. An intersectional framework that demands self-reflexivity is presented as important to research, scholarship, organizational policy making, and theorizing that shapes art therapy practice.
Postcards from Heaven and Hell: Understanding the Near-Death Experience through Art

Subjects: American Indians,Studio Art,Art Education,Models,Art Therapy,Death,Psychology,Comparative Analysis,Age Differences,Adults,Children

Art making offers the opportunity to reflect upon ineffable experiences, including those surrounding death and dying. This article examines the artwork of two research participants who each reported a near-death experience (NDE). A trans-personal model was used to elicit the narratives and artwork of two individuals: one who experienced a pleasant NDE and one who experienced a distressing NDE. The author concludes that understanding the similarities and differences between pleasant and distressing NDEs may help to facilitate a better therapeutic alliance with this population and provide greater potential for client growth and transformation.

The Media Adoption Stage Model of Technology for Art Therapy
Author: Peterson, Brent Christian
Date: 2010-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Art Therapy,Interviews,Mass Media,Information Technology,Models,Art Education,Allied Health Personnel,Adults,Evaluation Methods

This study examined survey data from professional credentialed members of the American Art Therapy Association and 8 follow up interviews to determine how art therapists adopt or reject technology and/or new digital media for therapeutic use with their clients. Using Rogers's (2003) "diffusion of innovation" model, the author identified a two-stage process of media adoption used when respondents were introduced to new media with potential artistic or therapeutic applications. The Media Adoption Stage Model described in this article is an iterative process of selection, experimentation, and reevaluation of art media based on their properties. The findings have implications for art therapy, art therapy education, and personal use of technology. (Contains 1 figure.)

Type: Information Analyses
Subjects: Grounded Theory,Learning Problems,Learning Disabilities,Educational Therapy,Art Therapy,Anxiety,Child Development,Middle Schools,Early Reading,Foreign Countries,Assignments,Influences

In the art educational therapy (AET) method introduced in this article, school coursework is integrated into art therapy with the aim of facilitating such learning and enhancing the emotional well-being of children with learning difficulties who have experienced stress or trauma. A grounded theory research study based on the cases of 5 middle school children identified &quot;writing-images&quot; in which children experiment with drawn forms of letters and numbers prior to learning to read. Opportunities to work with writing-images in AET enable the child to reclaim the learning potential of an early developmental &quot;writing-image&quot; phase.

Art therapists increasingly work outside traditional mental health treatment programs and facilitate art-making experiences within community-based settings. Although traditional mental health facilities provide frameworks for meeting ethical principles such as privacy, roles, consent to treatment, and setting therapeutic goals, community-based art therapists may require a different process for ensuring that ethical principles are met. A series of self-reflective questions posed by community-based practitioners at a 2008 gathering sponsored by the Maryland Institute College of Art offers valuable guidance to art therapists working outside traditional therapeutic settings.

Export Earnings from the Overseas Student Industry: How Much?

Education is regularly publicised as Australia's third-largest export behind coal and iron ore. Although it cannot be disputed that education is a major export, the published figures are inflated because of three broad factors. First, estimates of student expenditure on goods and services in Australia are based on students with different demographic characteristics than the current stock of overseas students. Second, the value of on-shore earnings by overseas students is included in the total. Third, direct costs, such as off-shore agents' fees have not been deducted from the stated earnings. It is likely that the actual export value of education is about half the stated figure, which would bring Australia's education export earnings into line with those in the USA. (Contains 2 tables.)
Higher Education's Role in &quot;Education for Sustainability&quot;

Date: 2010-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Higher Education,Foreign Countries,Sustainable Development,College Role,Role of Education,Conservation (Environment),Consciousness Raising,Social Responsibility,Citizenship Education

This paper describes some of the drivers for &quot;education for sustainability&quot; that exist in universities and also explores some of the rationales that underpin higher education's reluctance to engage more formally in education for sustainability. It attempts to provide a balanced commentary on the role and capability of higher education in promoting environmental sustainability to students. Because the paper is grounded in higher education learning and teaching discourse it starts by interpreting the term &quot;education for sustainability&quot; for a broad higher education audience and situates concepts of sustainability within domains of higher education learning and teaching. The paper focuses on Australian and New Zealand universities but introduces developments from around the world for comparative purposes.
Academics and the Media in Australia

Little has been written about the relationship between academia and the media. This essay describes three models through which academics can engage with the media: as generalist or public intellectual; as advocate or activist; and as educator or sub-disciplinary expert. It couches these models within both the traditional wariness of academia towards the media and changing landscapes such as the rise of blogging and the &quot;corporate&quot; university. It argues that engagement with the media is a valuable form of academic service, if practised within an ethic of self-restraint.
Research Output of Australian Universities: Are the Newer Institutions Catching up?

Two decades on from the abolition of the binary divide in higher education in Australia, what has happened to the relative research performance of institutions that started from quite diverse positions? We use two databases, Thomson Reuters ISI and Scopus, to measure growth rates in research output. We find that there has been some convergence in research publications, with the newer universities catching up on the traditional research-intensive universities. No Go8 university is in the top quartile of growth rates. In absolute terms, however, the output differences remain very large. The findings are not unduly sensitive to the choice of database.

The use of casual staff, including casual teaching staff, is a common practice in Australian universities and the numbers of casual staff in the sector has increased significantly in the last decade. The traditional profile for casual teachers was that of industry expert and students. Recent research has shown that the casual teacher is now more likely to be a person holding several casual jobs and seeking a career. Likewise, general staff in casual positions are often people who would prefer job security and a career. This research was conducted at a regional Australian university and used a questionnaire targeting staff in both the Technical and Further Education (TAFE) and higher education divisions in all occupational groups as well as in depth interviews of casual teaching staff. The findings show that the traditional profile no longer applies. Staff employed in casual positions often hold more than one job, at more than one institution and are seeking job security. They frequently, but unsuccessfully use casual work as a career strategy. The result is frustrated careers. (Contains 1 figure and 3 tables.)
Ethics, Ethical Human Research and Human Research Ethics Committees

Non-medical research involves the same issues of justice, beneficence, and respect for persons that apply to non-medical research. It also may involve risk of harm to participants, and conflicts of interest for researchers. It is therefore not possible to argue that such research should be exempt from ethical review. This paper argues that researchers should become more engaged with the ethical issues associated with their research, and that human research ethics committees and other institutional ethical review bodies should be viewed as resources which add value to the research process. To improve ethical review we need this engagement by researchers, and their involvement in the decision-making of ethics review bodies.

Markets have a number of uses. One increasingly important use of markets by politicians is as a means of regulating the supply and distribution of goods and services formerly supplied and distributed by governments on non-market bases. The use of markets as a regulator of higher education is not novel. However, the increased reliance on markets as a regulator of higher education is an on-going experiment with certain predictable failures. This article explores the uses of the market in the supply and distribution of higher education and weighs it against the stated policy objectives, with particular attention to the application proposed in the Bradley Review.
Moving beyond University Rankings: Developing a World Class University System in Australia

This paper examines why the development of a world class university system represents a rational, even inevitable, policy approach for Australia in response to world university rankings. It assembles evidence questioning the value of policies which direct undue emphasis on the concentration of resources and the development of elite universities, especially in smaller nations. Several recent policy initiatives have enhanced Australia's ability to maintain a strong university system and this has meaningful implications for the international promotion of Australian higher education. The &quot;system&quot; approach necessitates that Australia continue to pay close attention to world university rankings but develop more sophisticated means of classifying and benchmarking universities to ensure the required diversity of institutional missions to achieve all that is expected of the system.
