FUNDED RESEARCH

Jacquie has undertaken research in the areas of language and literacy education, internationalisation of education, community health education and Indigenous education

During 2000 - 2007, Jacquie Widin has been involved in a community based research project (with Keiko Yasukawa, Jennifer Newman, Heidi Norman, Andrew Chodkiewicz, Anne Ndaba and others) with a local community school. This project included the establishment of a MoU with the school which will provide opportunities for on-going collaborations. During 2003 - 2005 the project was funded by the Telstra Community Development Funding scheme to focus on developing school community partnerships in an Indigenous school community.

Jacquie has recently completed (with Andrew Chodkiewicz and Keiko Yasukawa) a research project that investigated teaching practices in adult literacy and numeracy. The project produced a DVD (and an accompanying handbook) containing four case studies of teachers in different teaching contexts.
