This peer reviewed eBook introduces readers to foundational concepts in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, personality psychology and social psychology to help explain why conflict occurs, how it develops and how it may be managed and/or resolved.

Physical development occurs as children learn how to use and take care of their growing bodies. It is a foundation for other learning and development. Children use their bodies for learning, by moving around and interacting with people and their environment. This learning trajectory look at gross motor skills, fine motor skills, sensory awareness, and physical health and self-care.

The early childhood learning trajectory will help you observe children’s progress in physical development and plan the next steps in their learning and development.

The population projections presented in this publication cover the period 30 June 2008 to 2101 for Australia and 30 June 2008 to 2056 for the states, territories, and capital cities/balances of state.

This issue contains estimates of the resident population of Australian states and territories as at 30 June of each reference year. Estimates up to 2006 are final, based on the results of the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. Estimates for June 2007 have been revised and estimates from June 2008 onwards are preliminary.

A Guide to Using Commemorative Memorials and Monuments in the Classroom

Short Description:
This open textbook will guide educators and students through the process of using local monuments and memorials to contextualise, interrogate and extend their knowledge of historical events at a national and international level. Students will learn how to use local history to create an organic patchwork of local stories, interviews, photographs and artefacts contributed by, and for, the community and contextualised nationally and internationally. Through this process they will assume the role of historians rather than passive consumers of dominant ideologies and understand how historical events have shaped diverse views, including their own, of issues such as social justice, democracy, human rights and citizenship.

This book is a practical guide to writing about health research, which includes elementary reviews of the research literature and simple research reports. The goal is to teach you how to write about research clearly and with confidence. You will gain useful skills and transferrable knowledge by learning how to critically evaluate research, how to compare different aspects of research studies, and how to synthesize and interpret research evidence. The book includes information on basic skills in statistical and qualitative analyses that are valuable in preparing research reports and reviews.

This book serves to fill a critical gap in existing healthcare education resources, by raising healthcare professional and healthcare educators’ awareness of uncertainty tolerance. This handbook explores the impact health professions education (and educators) can have on the future healthcare workforce’s ability to manage uncertainty effectively, and provides practical approaches (including exemplar curricular templates) for supporting this essential workplace-ready, transferable attribute.

Short Description:
This guide is designed to support health and social care researchers and practitioners to conduct qualitative research. (Published 2023)

Long Description:
This guide is designed to support health and social care researchers and practitioners to integrate qualitative research into the evidence base of health and social care research. Qualitative research designs are diverse and each design has a different focus that will inform the approach undertaken and the results that are generated. The aim is to move beyond the “what” of qualitative research to the “how”, by (1) outlining key qualitative research designs for health and social care research – descriptive, phenomenology, action research, case study, ethnography, and grounded theory; (2) a decision tool of how to select the appropriate design based on a guiding prompting question, the research question and available resources, time and expertise; (3) an overview of mixed methods research and qualitative research in evaluation studies; (4) a practical guide to data collection and analysis; (5) providing examples of qualitative research to illustrate the scope and opportunities; and (6) tips on communicating qualitative research.

The book contains interactive exercises that are designed to assist students to understand and remember the characters, plots and structures of Shakespeare's plays. The book contains free full text copies of the plays. Volume 1 includes As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Microbial mats are windows to our past of the earliest ecosystems to evolve on earth, especially those found in Shark Bay, Australia. Here, these lush mats are shedding light into the lives of microbes that are yet to be cultured in the lab, an untapped resource of biological information known as “microbial dark matter”. In a new study, researchers reconstructed 115 genomes belonging to members of this microbial dark matter. The researchers detected entirely new microorganisms that may participate in sulfate reduction, microbes capable of fermenting and degrading organic carbon, and microbes with a high capacity for producing hydrogen. Overall, the results suggest that microbial dark matter could play critical roles in nutrient cycling across the planet. Further genomics studies could place novel microorganisms found in microbial mats into their proper ecological and environmental context and offer clues on how to cultivate these microbes in the lab for closer examination..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Social and emotional learning involves skills such as children distinguishing their own needs from those of others, learning to effectively identify and manage emotions, and building and maintaining positive relationships with others.

You can use this early childhood learning trajectory to observe children’s progress in social and emotional learning, and to plan the next steps in their learning and development.
