it gives me great pleasure to present the research activities of staff at the open Polytechnic for 2012.

kia ora – Welcome

research is work. The investigation, analysis, creativity, synthesis and other

forms of solid thinking research requires considerable effort. This report includes

evidence of the hard thinking and work performed by open Polytechnic staff

and disseminated across 2012.

ultimately the results of research must be disseminated. That means, in the

words of the new Zealand Qualifications authority, they must be ‘open to

scrutiny and formal evaluation by others in the field of inquiry’.

dissemination serves a number of purposes. That the research has been

disseminated serves as evidence of its coherence. The means of dissemination

gives important clues about the quality and substance of the work, and the

audience or readership it has reached. dissemination also seals a research

project’s contribution to broader academic discourse, in that the work can be

accessed by others and is open for citation and further critique.

So what does it take to be an effective researcher? The profiles we feature

in this report give insight into the criteria: a willingness to collaborate in

exploration with others; a clear focus; the anticipation of discovery; sheer

curiosity; finding a problem that has long needed a solution; a sense of personal

connection with the area of research; the desire to make a positive difference;

and the aspiration to learn.

i’m certain that for all researchers the

motivation to research comes primarily from

the love of knowledge and the desire to

see it make a difference in the lives of

others. This is one reason why research

is so akin to teaching and excellence in

the academy – both are concerned with

learning, thinking, and sharing ideas in an

informed and logical way.

i am pleased that we have more than

just effective researchers at the

open Polytechnic – we also have research

leaders. The collaborative activities that

took place in 2012 stand out on every page

of this report, as do the clear connections

with industry and open and distance

learning.

it is with great pride that we at the

open Polytechnic report on our 2012 efforts.

The School of

Businessof particular note are the achievements of associate Professor Jonathan Barrett, who in 2012, published nine refereed journal articles and co-authored a further five refereed journal articles. in addition, two papers co-authored by Jonathan and presented in 2011 received recognition at the 67th annual australasian law Teachers association (alTa) conference in 2012 and achieved ‘highly commended’ status in the alTa 2011 overall Best conference Paper awards.

dr Vasanthi Peter, management lecturer, was the second author in the paper awarded best peer-reviewed paper at the 57th World conference of the international council for Small Business (icSB) conference, another recognition for the School of Business in 2012.

School of Business staff continue to write textbooks and book chapters that are widely used in accounting subjects in new Zealand tertiary institutions. Taxation principal lecturer, John Veal, was again the main author for the Staples Tax Guide – both the 2012 edition and the mid-year supplement. nazir awan, senior lecturer in accounting, and richard Baxter, accounting lecturer, contributed to the 3rd edition of Financial Accounting, a New Zealand Perspective. gigi fenster, law lecturer, published her first novel in 2012. This delightful story, The Intentions Book, was also the subject of a number of external talks.

during 2012 staff from the School of Business also established an informal book-review group, which saw several staff publishing book reviews.

associate Professor in the School of Business

dr Jonathan Barrett, associate Professor in the

School of Business, is a prolific researcher who

has written more than 50 journal articles, book

chapters and papers since joining the open

Polytechnic in 2006.

in 2012 Jonathan published peer-reviewed

journal articles with the open Polytechnic’s

dr luke Strongman (internet law), leigh

Thompson (employment law) and John Veal

(taxation). he also co-wrote a chapter in a

major international volume on corporate social

responsibility.

Jonathan was also the editor of the 2011 e-book

Open Learning for an Open World: Reflections

on Open and Distance Learning and Teaching

at the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand,

which continued to receive positive feedback

in 2012.

‘The e-book made appropriate use of

technology and gave both experienced and

novice researchers the opportunity to publish

their work,’ says Jonathan.

‘i was given credit as the editor, but it was

a truly cooperative effort that showcased

the wealth of open and distance learning

knowledge at the open Polytechnic.’

While the personal satisfaction gained from

research is a principal motivator, Jonathan says

he finds research to be most rewarding as a

cooperative activity.

‘Teaming up with other researchers with

particular skills and knowledge enables joint

papers to be written that would otherwise be

difficult to produce.

even solo research is a social activity. many

people are involved in the production of a

journal article – from colleagues with whom

you might discuss initial ideas, to editors and

reviewers who help refine the final output.

it is important, therefore, that we all try to

contribute to the research environment.’

in this regard, Jonathan often peer reviews

journal articles. he is also chair of the open

Polytechnic’s research Publications committee,

which aims to promote a culture of research

at the Polytechnic, and a member of both the

research and the ethics committees.

Jonathan holds a Bachelor of laws (llB), a

higher diploma in Tax law, an advanced

diploma in international Taxation, and is a

doctor of Philosophy (Phd).

Jonathan’s doctoral studies concerned the

fundamental principles of respect for human

dignity and distributive justice in taxation.

application of these ideas in different practical

contexts continues to be his primary research

concern. in 2013, his principal research focus

will be on how artistic expression as a human

right interacts with copyright and other laws.

the hunter, new South Wales’.

gradon diprose, lecturer in Social Sciences, completed research as part of his

doctorate, and presented at a number of national and international conferences in

2012. he is currently working on publishing an article entitled ‘Policing art: The Political

Potential of creative Practice’, which explores how creativity and social art practices

can be understood as political activism.

following extensive consultation with other social work education providers and the

social work industry, karin Brown, Social Work Programme leader, identified a gap

in the research on practice placements and initiated a research project with massey

university and learning designs to assess the demand for and supply of social work

practice placements.

This groundbreaking research aims to enhance the quality of social work practice

placements in new Zealand.

academic staff in the School of Social Sciences are also actively involved in a number

of research projects relating to odl. dr natilene Bowker, Psychology Programme

leader, continues to research people’s experiences in online environments. dr

a fledgling researcher, karin Brown is looking

forward to cutting her research teeth in a

meaningful way. as both a social worker and

academic faculty member she is committed

to ensuring any research she completes

helps to make a difference in people’s lives.

karin has presented on teaching and social

work in a bicultural environment at a

number of conferences, including the World

indigenous Peoples conference and the

education and Women’s Studies association

conference.

although having previously completed some

literature-based research, karin’s current

research project – a collaborative piece

of work she will complete alongside dr

kath hay from massey university and neil

Ballantyne, formerly of The institute for

research and innovation in Social Services in

Scotland – will be her first official foray into

the research world.

‘The joint research project is about mapping

the supply and demand of social work

student placements, including comparing

perceptions and expectations of the

different stakeholders. We also hope to

examine the application of a particular

supervision model,’ says karin.

Work has begun on the first stage of the

project, and the research team is eager

to get through the quantitative stage so

that work can begin on the qualitative

interviewing.

‘i’m very excited about meeting with

stakeholders so that we can hear their

perspectives on the issues and also their

proposed solutions. This country has a

shortage of social workers, so it’s very

important that we build the capacity of the

sector to absorb and support the students

coming through,’ she says.

originally from South africa and

raised in Switzerland, karin trained as a

social worker in the united States and

worked in community-based substance

abuse prevention before relocating to

new Zealand. Since arriving here, she

has predominantly worked in academia,

including five years at Te Wa-nanga o

aotearoa and two years at the Social

Services industry Training organisation.

even though she hasn’t worked directly

as a social worker for a number of years,

karin has kept up voluntary work in the

social service sector by serving on an ngo

voluntary governance board, participating

in community development activities and

contributing to the production of a free

feminist magazine.

‘it’s never boring when you’re working to

make our world a better place,’ she says.

ReseaRch RepoRt 2012ReseaRch RepoRt 2012

Psychology lecturer in the School of Social Sciences

Belinda lawrence, Psychology lecturer in

the School of Social Sciences, has her first

education-related paper, ‘Teaching Beliefs

and Practice, institutional context, and the

uptake of Web-based Technology’, currently

in press with the journal Distance Education,

and is currently working towards her Phd.

Belinda graduated with a master’s degree in

Psychology in 2002, but despite winning an

award for her first journal article published

in the Asian Journal of Social Psychology

in 2002, she found it difficult to gather early

momentum as a psychology researcher.

however, while completing a certificate in

Tertiary Teaching through otago university

in 2007, she was introduced to the field

of higher education research, and found

a renewed energy and interest in doing

research.

‘Something just clicked. By combining my

background in psychology with my interest

in higher education, i suddenly found myself

getting passionate about research again.

‘i found that i had a constant stream of

questions that i wanted answers for, and

i found a community of researchers who

were interested in the same things i was

interested in,’ she says.

This encouraged Belinda to research the

uptake of web-based technology by tertiary

educators as part of her diploma in Tertiary

Teaching in 2011, which resulted in her paper

‘Teaching Beliefs and Practice, institutional

context, and the uptake of Web-based

Technology’.

‘my publication focuses on what influences

teachers to teach the way they do, and in

particular what factors affect how they

use web-based technologies (for example,

discussion forums, news posts, online videos,

website links, blogs, wikis, email, chat, online

document storage, and so on) in their

teaching. Previous research had indicated

that teacher’s beliefs and goals, and their

perceptions of particular technologies,

influenced the use of technology to teach.

my research found that as well as these

factors, institutional priorities and division

of labour also affected how teachers used

technology in their teaching.’

Belinda’s current Phd research, which she

will be completing part-time over the

next 5 years through the higher education

development centre at otago university,

is expanding on this by looking at the

individual and environmental factors that

influence teachers in their teaching.

‘i’m looking at how things like funding,

institutional policies, peer networks,

particular types of technologies, individuals

beliefs and practice all come together to

result in someone teaching a particular

way. i think this is interesting from a change

management perspective (so we can

know what factors to tweak to get the

results we want), and also for professional

development. i’m using a methodology that

looks at the system as a whole, and which

helps identify contradictions and conflicts

in the way components in the system

are interacting which may be impeding

achievement of teaching goals.’

Belinda lawrenCe

Thelearning Centre

The learning centre’s research activity has been firmly focused on student

engagement and success, with the outcomes of this research used to inform

practice.

in late 2011, centre manager catherine ross and learning advisor ron grant

were fortunate to secure funding to write a report about the centre’s student-

mentoring programme. The report, entitled Peer Mentoring: An Effective

Approach to Enhancing First-year Student Engagement and Success, was

published on the ako aotearoa website in July 2012.

2012 has been a busy year for learning centre staff as they continue to build their research capability and gain recognition as experts in their field.

centre staff have also been active this year

presenting their research at a variety of

conferences. The learning centre’s Ximena

riquelme, hana craig and catherine ross

all had papers accepted for international

conferences. Ximena and hana co-presented

their paper ‘enhancing Student Success at a

distance Tertiary institution – The creation

of a Sense of Belonging and enhanced

Students’, was presented at the 17th annual

international conference of the association

of Tertiary learning advisors of aotearoa/

new Zealand (aTaanZ) in hamilton in

november 2012. The two papers were well

received by conference participants, who

were very interested in how the online

environment can be used to support student

learning and success. Both papers have been

accepted for refereed publications in 2013.

catherine also presented a paper at the

aTlaanZ conference. The paper, ‘The

Practice of learning advising: how do

learning advisers Practice?’, discussed the

preliminary findings of her doctoral research.

in addition, catherine’s 2011 conference

paper ‘navigating Towards Success:

Supporting Students on academic Probation’

was published in the refereed aTlaanZ

conference proceedings in october this year.

catherine also acted as a peer reviewer for

the distance education association of new

learning centre staff continued their practice of contributing to internal research

activities and presented two papers at the open Polytechnic learning conference

in august 2012. ron and Ximena presented a paper entitled ‘guiding and

Supporting Student Success’, which discussed the impact of support programmes

on student success outcomes. catherine’s paper, ‘engaging Students in learning’,

reported findings from a recently completed research project on student

engagement.

Senior lecturer in information and library Studies

With many successful years in the information

and library field in australia, both commercially

and publicly, and a Phd from australia’s

curtin university, the open Polytechnic was

delighted by dr Peta Wellstead’s decision to

jump shores and join its faculty staff in 2011.

Senior lecturer in information and library

Studies, dr Wellstead is the first open

Polytechnic faculty member to be awarded

‘research focus’ status under the Polytechnic’s

revised 2012 research categorisation scheme

dr Wellstead’s particular research interest is the

area of information literacy.

‘information literacy is vital for today’s society.

if people are not information literate, they

are hindered in their capacity to engage in

community life, access services and be active

citizens. information is the currency of modern

life, and it is essential for people to become

lifelong learners with the necessary skills to

navigate their way through the plethora of

information choices that confront them,’ says

dr Wellstead.

She is predominantly interested in the social

aspects of information use and how it

supports community engagement and civic

participation. These interests fall within the

growing research area of social informatics,

and have been brought into sharp relief by

the increasing use of mobile technologies to

share information in the realm of community

activism. in recent years, the use of

information in this way has seen governments

fall and ordinary people launch blogs and

webcasts that have changed history.

The critical premise of dr Wellstead’s work in

the area of information literacy is ‘that it is not

information that is important, but what we

do with that information and how it changes

behaviour over time. information literacy

is a tool that allows citizens to have the

information they need to make appropriate life

choices when they need to’.

mirroring her doctoral research, where she

looked at the information needs of australian

men in the health arena, dr Wellstead is in

the midst of duplicating and extending that

study in this country. She is doing this in

collaboration with the new Zealand mental

health foundation, in order to help the

foundation produce and deliver information

in ways that best serve new Zealand men’s

health needs.

in tandem with that project, dr Wellstead

is also examining the efficacy of accessing

information, the open Polytechnic’s

information literacy course, which has been

compulsory for Bachelor of applied Science

students since 2005.

‘all educational institutions evaluate their own

teaching curricula and practices on an ongoing

basis,’ she says, ‘but often that evaluation

does not go beyond individual staff reflection,

generic end-of-course student satisfaction

surveys and anecdotal feedback. i wanted to

conduct a more rigorous, scientific evaluation

to confirm or deny our understanding that its

delivery makes a valuable contribution to the

education of those students who complete it.’

The leader in electrical engineering in the open Polytechnic’s Bachelor of engineering Technology, dr ioan Tuleasca has spent the last year researching groundbreaking ways to provide low-cost, environmentally friendly, magnetic energy storage.

‘Presently, there are proven means to create electricity (micro wind turbines, photovoltaic arrays) that enable isolated households to acquire energy self-sufficiency. The issue to be addressed is that of finding an effective way of storing electrical energy,’ he says

Since 2008 dr Tuleasca has collaborated in a joint project with dr Johan Potgieter at massey university’s albany campus to build a research-testing stand to provide the refrigerating means for a cost-effective electrical energy storage system.

‘The testing stand is operated by three electrical motors, and the effects of magnetic field interaction produced by three fixed and three mobile parts are studied. Various velocities are applied in association with adequate dimensional patterns to obtain the desired effects. cryogenic temperatures are expected to be obtained that could be easily applied to superconductive coils-based magnetic energy storage systems, keeping them at low temperatures, creating a highly efficient application,’ says dr Tuleasca.

final-year massey university Bachelor of engineering students were involved in this development, as well as aaron lane, Sales manager, magnets new Zealand ltd, and dr dariusz kacprzak, Senior lecturer, electrical and computer engineering department, university of auckland.

due to associated mechanical constraints triggered by the need for higher velocities, the stand started being rebuilt in 2012 using more resilient materials (polycarbonate), as well as different technical solutions, including shaft and cylinder-associated roller bearings.

dr Tuleasca says that they are planning to begin mechanical tests on the new testing stand before the end of 2013. ‘once the faraday effect-based sensor system is operational, magnetic field characteristics are to be determined and the results disseminated in specialty journals and conferences.’

in addition to refrigeration-related effects, it is believed the work will provide specific input into local resonance phenomena associated with rotational magnetic fields.

in 2012, following a different line of research, a collaborative paper describing a more efficient, lighting-related, energy-saving appraisal was approved for publication in the specialty peer-reviewed journal Intelligent Control and Automation ICA Journal (Volume 4(1)).

after concluding the joint massey university project the focus will shift towards studying the social implications of technology, as well as systems comprising environmentally friendly generation and storage of electricity, in conjunction with academic and industry partners.
