mindfullness meditation
Mindfulness meditation refers to a type of meditation where an individual focuses their attention on their breathing in the present moment, fully allowing themselves to experience their thoughts, sensations and feelings in the present moment without judgement
- to promote feelings of calm and peace.
behaviourist approaches to learning
theories that propose learning occurs by interacting with the external environment and focuses on behaviours that can be directly observed and recorded.
social cognitive approaches to learning
involve theories that propose learning takes place in a social setting and involves various cognitive processes.
amyloid plaques
fragments of protein beta-amyloid that accumulate into insoluble plaques that inhibit communication between neurons.
neurofibrillary tangles
accumulation of protein tau that forms insoluble tangles within neurons, inhibiting the transportation of essential substances which in turn eventually kills the neuron entirely.
written traditions
are practices in which knowledge, stories and customs are preserved and shared primarily through writing and reading.
oral traditions
practices in which knowledge, stories and customs are preserved and shared through spoken word and movement. they are a great part of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and are an effective way to preserve and celebrate any community’s knowledge systems, stories, and customs.
sung narratives
stories that share important cultural, ecological and survival information through the use of singing, harmony, and rhythm
songlines
multimodal performances conducted as a family or community travels through the country and spaces in the landscape that record journeys, link important sites, and describe ways to live, care for, and nurture the country.
Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS)
a type of circadian rhythm sleep disorder in which sleep and waking occur later than usual
Advanced sleep phase disorder (ASPD)

cultural continuity
the passing down and active practice of cultural knowledge, traditions, and values from generation to generation.
self-determination
the right for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to make decisions on matters that affect their lives and communities.
Controlled experiment
measures the cause-effect (causal) relationship between two or more variables (IV and DV), with all other variables controlled.
Case study
a detailed, in-depth investigation of an individual, group, or particular phenomenon (activity, behaviour, event, or problem) that contains a real or hypothetical situation
Correlational study
type of researchers observe and measure the relationship between two or more variables without any active control or manipulation of them non-experimental study in which.
Classification and Identification
Classification: the arrangement of phenomena, objects, or events into manageable sets
Identification: a process of recognition of phenomena as belonging to particular sets or possibly being part of a new or unique set
Fieldwork
any research involving observation and interaction with people and environments in real-world settings, conducted beyond the laboratory.
Literature review
the process of collating and analyzing secondary data related to other people’s scientific findings and/or viewpoints in order to answer a question or provide background information to help explain observed events, or as preparation for an investigation to generate primary data
Modelling
the construction and/or manipulation of either a physical model, such as a small- or large-scale representation of an object, or a conceptual model that represents a system involving concepts that help people know, understand, or simulate the system.
Simulation
a process of using a model to study the behavior of a real or theoretical system and can take various formats (such as simulated environments).
Product, process or system development
the design or evaluation of an artefact, process, or system to meet a human need, which may involve technological applications, in addition to scientific knowledge and procedures
Confidentiality
the protection, privacy, and security of participants’ personal information
Informed consent
ensure participants understand the nature and purpose and risks of the experiment before agreeing to participate in the study
Voluntary participation
ensures there is no coercion or pressure put on the participant to partake in an experiment, and they freely choose to be involved
Withdrawal rights
the right of participants to discontinue their involvement in the study, even afterwards without penalty.
Deception
intentionally misleading participants when knowledge about the experiment will affect their behaviours.
Debriefing
ensures participants leave with an understanding of elements of the study.
