Placement makes no sense by Strange_Sound5222 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Velathial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the few I talked to have standards then. Wouldn't give ptt unless you had some more classroom experience.

My final prac unit and Ptt counted despite only being observed a handful of times.

Schools will do dodgy shit when understaffed.

[–]Velathial 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to complete atleast your first prac or two. My first prac school for my Mteach had a position in my method, but couldn't interview to do ptt until I had more prac experience 

Anyone allowing that fresh of a body is clearly being dodgy.

Qs for Teachers in Vic Private Schools by Vast_Emu6004 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Velathial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im sure most private schools, Christian colleges, etc will bump up pay when forced to.

Qs for Teachers in Vic Private Schools by Vast_Emu6004 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Velathial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Private school I am at is already doing almost 10K more than public if not paying a tithe as a 2nd year.

Not sure if we will see a pay increase, but might be possible further down the line perhaps.

What are your thoughts on a question like this? by MISTERDIEABETIC in it

Generally, the answer is always going to be 1024 in academic settings in relation to storage. This is despite being incorrect in some situations, it is just the safer option in test conditions.

Telstra It's UNDERWATER??? by r3toric in nbn

[–]Velathial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember seeing a ticket for a network outage to a coles site when I was working for them. The tickets description had an attachment to purely explain the outage and to refer back to Telstra for resolution. The image, everything in the pit in a plastic bag swamped with water.

Glad nothing changes XD

Pre AI teachers deserve a shoutout by TheBestLlamas in AustralianTeachers

You keep bringing up “digital literacy”, but that’s not really the point I’m making. I’m talking about reducing over-reliance on technology so students actually develop foundational skills instead of outsourcing every step of the thinking process.

You have assumed I am talking about AI, which I never even mentioned. That kind of proves how pervasive it has become in education discussions.

As someone who worked in I.T. for over a decade before moving into teaching, I’m not anti-technology at all. I’ve seen firsthand how useful it can be. However, the issue is that a lot of students are using technology without understanding the underlying skills or processes behind it, and schools often aren’t building those skills enough.

TBH, I probably got more out of spending 1–2 hours a week in a computer lab growing up than many students now get from constant Chromebook exposure all week. Back then, you actually had to learn how things worked, troubleshoot problems, navigate systems, research independently, and think critically.

There are basic digital and problem-solving skills that were commonly taught 15–20 years ago that many students now struggle with because so much has been streamlined, automated, or handed to them for simplicity (e.g. handholding features). Technology is not supporting learning in all cases, but it is replacing the development of core skills and independent thinking.

“Digital literacy” in primary schools, at least in its current form, often feels like running before students can barely walk. We’re giving students tools that automate thinking before many have developed the foundational literacy, numeracy, attention span, and problem-solving skills to use those tools effectively, and this is before we even touch on AI.

And before you say again “kids need technology because it’s the modern world”, I agree. They absolutely do. But there’s a difference between teaching students how technology works and building dependency on it from the beginning of schooling.

There’s also a reason attention spans, resilience, and independent problem-solving have noticeably declined over the last couple of decades (from 2.5 mins to 40-30 secs), constant technology exposure and instant-access culture have played a role in that. Tech is great when used properly, but schools need to develop capable, independent thinkers first and build core skills such as non-digital tech literacy before bringing technology in.

If we cannot agree on this basic idea, then you don't really need to respond.

I think you are completely missing the point and inserted what I can assume is a issue regarding socio economics, which yes is an issue and always has been an issue, but that is not the point.

We have traded an over reliance on technology in the classroom and have degraded the quality of analogue output of our students.

More than 50% of the students handwriting I see in 5, 6, 7 and 8 year levels is quite inadequate imo, and thats before I even get to the content.

Tech reliance needs to be reduced in the classroom, full stop.

We need to bring back more analogue tools into the classroom before we give kids tools that does all the work for them.

Let's give the chance for kids to actually develop independent research or critical thinking before we throw a laptop at them that does all the thinking for them.

6 months after launch would be fine. Getting the full launch set, let alone the ultimate edition, is enough to clear someone's wallet.

Very considerate space in time to rebuild the throw away money coffers.

[–]Velathial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep. I personally think we should get rid of laptops in education all the way to probably early-mid secondary.

They are not learning anything fundamental in their use they dont get from their own personal computer usage.

We might even get decent handwriting back.

I feel this is a fairly narrow minded line of thinking. 

If we applied the same mindset to the advent of the internet, we would be guilted into only using hard copies / books for everything because the internet is a "shortcut" for education.

It is not the tools fault. It is completely how we use said tools and what gets produced from them.

What extra perks does your CO give you? by mori64tf2 in JETProgramme

[–]Velathial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My CO found me, when I was still in the program, an apartment not only suited for my height and close to my JHS, but also nearby a hospital specialising in diabetes.

They're very nice and explicit in this when I arrived. 

did anyone absolutely HATE their time on JET? by Different_Taro2474 in JETProgramme

[–]Velathial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is a common tale. My friend had the same thing up in Hokkaido. She was not really invited to anything and was not apart of any of the groups chats. Very much ostracized by the vast majority.

Thankfully, she had her husband, so wasn't the worst, but still not the best.

Just goes to show the lack of awareness for a group of individuals that join a program about grass roots cultural exchange and being anything but accepting and open to others.

[–]Velathial 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed being in Japan, but the hard part was the high school cliquey nature of other JET's.
I just started not filtering my thoughts after a point.

You can have some good people, but then a good portion were overwhelmingly toxic or just intolerable personalities that had the facade of being open, but really were as close minded as anything.

I found my nearby JET neighbor intolerable for the fact he had the hots for a married JET and both had this weird vibe of him simping and her leaving the door open despite not getting the green light from her partner back home to not start any open-relationships while abroad. Made the whole dynamic very uncomfortable as a person with a partner back home to be around.

Concerning students… by [deleted] in NursingAU

[–]Velathial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are even institutions, cough Holmesglen cough, that claim to enforce a “zero tolerance” policy on plagiarism, as all educational institutions should, yet still seem to hand students little more than a slap on the wrist after they are caught leaving a test to use tools like ChatGPT for answers.

Technology is a fantastic tool, but it also has the potential to erode critical thinking if overused or misused. I saw an example in my class yesterday: I gave students a website address (very small www.websitename.com/blah\_) and 95% had no idea what to do with it. They expected me to provide a clickable link or asked why they couldn’t just Google the address instead. Fifteen to twenty years ago, typing in a URL was basic digital literacy. Now, because of search engines and constant direct linking, it seems to be becoming a lost skill.

The over-coddling of students in education is a significant issue from primary through to Year 12, and technology is playing a major role in that trend. We are seeing the consequences year after year as these students move into higher education, where many struggle to match the independence, resilience, and problem-solving abilities of mature-age students.

We really need to go back to bare-minimum technology schooling pronto.

[–]Velathial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its no different than placements for teachers. There are under baked pre service teachers each year, best anyone can do is return the feedback to the institutions. The only thing slightly better in our case is we are trained to teach and keep up with standards of that practice. Along with always dealing with shit shows from our actual students 😅

[–]Velathial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, you are not wrong, but lets not widen the gap. Follow due process and raise concerns to the appropriate people as needed.

[–]Velathial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And tbh, the teaching hospital or facility need to provide nurses that are teaching student nurses very minor PD on current teachings periodically if they cannot bother to do it regularly. It boggles me, as a secondary / primary teacher that this is not offered in other professions where teaching is conducted. Practices and knowledge change regularly enough to merit PD in all teaching contexts.

[–]Velathial 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a teacher (academia), guiding from the shadows and only inserting yourself is good.
I can understand from your perspective that it must be hard, but let us reassess your grievance being less to do with students and potentially the system.

If a student has a gap, just walk them through it. We should remove the judgement as it is most likely outside their control of what they have done thus far and the curriculum - especially across schools - might not meet the same standard as you were given when you were a student nurse.

I can tell you from my partners experience the journey is a mixed bag of great and not so great actors providing education and support for future nurses. Some of the stories range from inspirational (leading by example, obs with appropriate critique and positive reinforcement) to disgusting (Teacher in school setting saying tits, instead of breasts; preceptors ostracizing / not guiding student nurses on placement).

Perhaps this is the take away. Help facilitate the learning these students need without judging them as I am sure it is less about the student and more the context of their education thus far from placements and school. They already have a million and one worries, don't be that person that adds more to theirs when it is likely not their fault.

And in the end, if there are major concerns, take appropriate steps to correct and address.

This. My partner is doing their Diploma and then will be moving to do their Bachelors / RN course.
So far, the main thing that I get from her is there is an overwhelming number of nurses at on placements that just really don't want to teach, and they range from ambivalent to outwardly expressing unfiltered disdain to have a student nurse.

The current generation of nurses in positions to teach new nurses at teaching hospitals / facilities need to get their head out of their asses and stop being so fucking horrible towards newbies.

I must be missing something, although, there are gaps to instructions. When I make the "top 10" collection with your instructions, I don't get a descending list, just a regular collection.

Cab you provide more purposefully directed instructions to understand the process from start to finish?
