Current projects include the “I, Burocart” paper, a draft of which is available on this blog.
I have a complete manuscript “Deep approaches to teaching political theory” which is meant to show how to integrate research knowledge of teaching into class room teaching. As such, it is not new research and I am not sure where to try to publish it.
I have a paper under review on the utopia insight in Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan at the Journal of Value Inquiry but I am not optimistic about the odds of acceptance there.
I also revised and resubmitted a manuscript on an empirical study comparing students’ perceptions of teaching with teachers reports of their teaching with Mountainrise.
Accepted but not yet appeared is a paper another empirical study of students’ recollections of good teaching with Quality Assurance in Education. Like a great many other people I have also contributed in 2004 at invitation two entries for the Oxford Companion to Australian Politics (which has yet to appear) on corruption and utopia.
I am also thinking about a research project on student workloads for 2007, using the enrolment of GOVT3993 as subjects. Workload is a vexed question for a host of reasons. For example, research tells us that students who perceive (report) a high workload get poorer results than other students who are exactly alike in all relevant features (entry scores, age, part-time work, etc) who do not perceive high workload. We know that two demographically identical students can perceive the same work differently, one as high workload and another as not. In short, perceptions of workload are powerful but not objective. David Kember did some research on this subject with Hong Kong students that I have thinking about modifying here. Mind, I have had this thought for two years and done nothing so far. It would involve some diaries of time spend on study, some interviews to flesh out what is said in the diaries, and some analysis using some demographic features (age, sex, student status, results, etc) as a pilot project for a more sustained investigation. Kember’s students were the first in their families to attend university and part of his purpose was to find out how to assist such students in meeting the demands of study in families with not relevant experience. That is not an issue here, but what is the growth in part-time plus employment by students in the last generation, and balancing that with full-time study, all the more so for international students, most of whom also work.
