This money will be used by AARE to offer bursaries to help subsidise non and low waged ECR and Postgraduate students attendance at the AARE conference. One hundred percent of money raised will go towards these bursaries, either for the current year or subsequent years.

RationaleWith the shifting landscape in education, learning has increasingly been seen more so as a “career” where students are expected to take more responsibility of their learning and future employment. In addition, given the opportunity, students may be able to negotiate new ways and possibilities to achieve successful and sustainable educational outcomes across and within various spaces. As such, important critical questions around student voice are being raised, discussed and debated and i…

Cognitive load theory uses our knowledge of how people learn, think and solve problems to design instruction. In turn, instructional design is the central activity of classroom teachers, of curriculum designers, and of publishers of textbooks and educational materials, including digital information. Characteristically, the theory is used to generate hypotheses that are tested using randomised controlled trials. Cognitive load theory rests on a base of hundreds of randomised controlled trials tes…
