“…Above all, using a contemporary approach means looking into the future through the prism of contemporary methodology. The results of previous research show that, while preparing and implementing their research, scientists and practitioners mainly focus on researching the present and/or past, and rarely on predicting the future (Burdin, Nutter and Gips, 1984;Dubovicki, 2020). Recently, attention has increasingly been paid to the methodological immaturity of certain studies conducted with children, which unfortunately contributes to lower reliability of the results (Gallacher & Gallagher, 2008).…”

The study aimed to determine the methodological particularities present in research on contemporary childhood. The study methodology involves an analysis of Croatian journals in which the subject of contemporary childhood has been published in the last two years. The inclusion criteria for article analysis were as follows: Social Science discipline, field of Pedagogy and Psychology, participants’ age (from 6 to 14 years) and the visibility of the journal citation. The analysis of the contemporary approach included methodological particularities. The results show that these studies of contemporary childhood do not apply “contemporary” approaches to the examination of childhood.

A questionnaire constructed by a restricted Delphi technique was completed in 1991 by 136 teacher educators in Queensland. Respondents rated the likelihood that 33 specific changes in teacher education would occur by the year 2000, and also indicated whether they supported such changes. The predictions represented some directions that had been recommended in government reports during the 1980s. Although respondents supported many of these changes, there was opposition to several trends likely to change the work roles and conditions of employment of teacher educators.

Within a context of change from recent tertiary institution amalgamations practicing speech pathologists responded to a survey in which they were asked to predict whether individual events would happen and to show their preference for such occurrences. Of the 35 items presented, 28 indicated agreement by respondents between preference and prediction. There were only seven items where there was any conflict between prediction and preference. This would seem to indicate a profession that has a perceived high level of control over the preparation ofitpreservice undergraduates. There was a renewed plea for more inservice education, specialisation and a career path that takes into account higher degrees.How is speech pathology education viewed by speech pathologists in the context of recent amalgamations in higher education? These amalgamations have led to speech pathology education being restructured to fit within a "traditional university" model. In moving from institutions where the focus was essentially clinical, speech pathology education has shifted to an environment where research and publication are a higher priority. Further, there are now no restrictions on the capacity of the former College of Advanced Education (CAE) health sector to offer PhD supervision as well as research masters and honours programmes. Participation within a research culture presents a new set of challenges to speech pathology education, challenges which might change the weighting within programmes of clinical studies, theory and research. Additionally the status of speech pathology as a profession can be examined by considering how sw.ech pathologists react to this new context when they indicate the changes they think may occur in speech pathology education in the future.Speech pathology education in Australia experienced a major change in the late 1980s, when the binary system of higher education was replaced by the Unified National System (UNS) (Dawkins, 1987(Dawkins, , 1988. Previously speech pathology education had taken place in health colleges and institutes of technology, except in Queensland where the University of Queensland had always had this responsibility. The emphasis of such training was essentially on clinical practice, with research being of a low priority, although some individual academics managed to develop 40 Millett very strong research profiles during this period. Colleges of advanced education, which included a number of colleges of health sciences, had been created as a result of the Martin Report (1964). Under the UNS, they were incorporated into existing universities, amalgamated with other colleges to form new universities, or became university colleges sponsored by existing universities. The West Australia and Sturt CAE (which had a faculty of health sciences) amalgamated with Hinders University in 1991. Recommendations by the Australian Federal Government that all therapy programmes should be three years in duration came too late, because all institutions in Australia already had approved four year speech...
