AERC is a growing research centre that seeks to explore and develop success strategies for learning
and education of the largest growing population in Saskatchewan. Through partnerships with scholars,
faculty, students, community-based organizations, schools, federal and provincial governments, AERC
is working to build stronger inclusive relationships among those involved with Aboriginal education.
The Aboriginal Education Research Centre is positioned to help advance aspirations among Aboriginal
Peoples with collaborations, capacity-building, and research that will ensure Aboriginal voices are heard,
understood, and translated into innovative and exemplary and ethical practices.
Saskatchewan Education Leadership Unit
The Saskatchewan Educational Leadership Unit (SELU) is a self-supporting agency operating out of the
College of Education and situated within the Department of Educational Administration. The Unit is
involved with professional development for senior leaders in pre-K to 12 education (and beyond) as well
as conducting collaborative research for a variety of agencies using a variety of university faculty and
other consultants. It also does strategic planning and provides other consulting services. Recently, the
Unit was awarded the contract to act as the Secretariat for the Joint Task Force on Improving Education
and Employment outcomes for First Nations and Métis People, which is a joint project of the Ministry of Education, the Federation
of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, and the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan and which has broad-ranging implications for the future of
Saskatchewan and its Indigenous peoples. This year-long, multi-faceted project is the largest contract ever undertaken by SELU.

A Selection of Work Underway
By Our Faculty & Seconded Teachers
David Mykota
As co-applicant with principal applicants Dell,
Menzies and Thompson, our team was fortunate
to have received a CIHR Operating Grant in the
area of Aboriginal Health Intervention entitled
Honouring Our Strengths: Indigenous Culture as
Intervention in Addictions Treatment. The research
project’s purpose is to examine the effectiveness
of First Nations’ culture as a health intervention
on alcohol and drug treatment client wellness.
The research team is composed of representatives from the National
Native Addictions Partnership Foundation (NNAPF), in collaboration
with the National Native Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program (NNADAP)
and the Youth Solvent Addiction Program (YSAP) treatment centres,
cultural practitioners and Elders, lead researchers from the Universities
of Saskatchewan, Ottawa, British Columbia, Michigan (Ann Arbour),
the First Nations University of Canada and the British Columbia Centre
of Excellence for Women’s Health, and knowledge users from the
Assembly of First Nations, Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, Centre
for Addiction and Mental Health, and Health Canada’s First Nations and
Inuit Health Branch.
This past year also saw the establishment of a partnership with the
Community-University Institute for Social Research (CUISR) in which
I was offered and accepted a three-year appointment as a Research
Associate of the Institute. Presently, as Co-Principal investigator with
Dr. Isobel Findlay I am currently supervising two graduate students
who are the lead student researchers for a program evaluation of Crisis
Management Services (CMS) of Saskatoon.
– a state of affairs which is in stark contrast to the voluminous literature
which exists on paid work and health. A major impediment to advances
in our understanding of how unpaid domestic labour may influence
women’s well-being is the lack of valid measurement tools available.
Based on a variety of sources (e.g. an extensive literature review, focus
group discussions with women, quantitative pilot tests), we have
developed and collected validity evidence for a multi-dimensional,
self-report measure of the psychosocial quality of unpaid family work
for women. The result is a 28-item scale with five subscales measuring
five key dimensions of unpaid family work quality: equity, demands,
autonomy, social resources, and rewards. Each of the subscales has
demonstrated discriminant validity, internal consistency, and invariance
of the factor structure across samples. In addition, consistent with
hypotheses, each of the scales is differentially associated with other
measured constructs, providing further evidence of convergent and
divergent validity. Although preliminary, the results also indicate that
the psychosocial quality of women’s unpaid work is patterned by their
socioeconomic well-being; that is, women who report greater financial
hardship are more likely to perceive the quality of their unpaid work
as psychologically demanding, less equitable, less autonomous and
less rewarding. Also, more negative ratings of the psychosocial quality
of unpaid work are associated with greater psychological distress
and poorer self-rated health. Further refinement of the scale with
independent samples continues.

• 2012 Praxis Project: Using a survey as well as a
focus group, I investigated the experience of high
school cooperating teachers who were involved
in the Teacher Candidate field study. The goal was
to identify a series of recommendations for TCs,
cooperating teachers, school administrators and to
college of education facilitators to improve the preinternship field experience.
Laurie Hellsten
I have been involved in a number of programs
of research during my tenure at the University
of Saskatchewan, but one consistent thread
throughout my research has been the development
and validation of self-report instruments in the
health or education domains. Bonnie Janzen
(Department of Community Health & Epidemiology,
Faculty of Medicine, U of S) and I are currently
completing a CIHR funded study designed to develop and accumulate
validity evidence for a self-report measure of unpaid family work quality
for partnered women with children. Ultimately, we are interested in
exploring the relationship between the quality of women’s unpaid work
and their health. Although men’s participation in unpaid household
work has increased over time, recent Canadian data clearly shows
that women continue to do significantly more hours of housework
and childcare than men. However, little research has focused on the
potential physical and mental health consequences of household work

2011 Kirkpatrick Award: Using the experience gained at visiting
an American College that focused on an ability-based curriculum
in 2011, I identified a set of abilities that College of Education
students could work on while completing course assignments
during the 2012-2013 school year. These “Learned Abilities” allow
students to focus on teachers’ abilities in the areas of creativity,
professionalism, motivation, organization, communication, and
knowledge. I will be travelling to Hawaii in January to present my
ideas and findings.
Interesting findings during my secondment:
I am very grateful for the time to develop my lessons, the time to
give feedback for assignments, the time to meet with students, other
instructors and to visit fellow teachers in different schools. I have been
able to work on projects, develop ideas, and listen to the variety and

depth of thought that comes from the quiet halls on the third floor. I
will continue to value the time here, the people dedicated to improving
the teaching profession, and the students for their commitment to work
in a field that is undervalued.

A common theme in my research interests of
the past and the present has been discourse in
learning communities. Earlier research projects
were Intergenerational Literature Circles as Sites of
Multilayered Learning with Dr. Lynn Lemisko and
Engaging Student in Conversations About Literacy
with Dr. Angela Ward. Presently, I am completing
a McDowell Research project Creating a Culture
of Inquiry to Enhance Early Learning with Dr. Lemisko, the objective of
which was to understand how a school-based PLC could develop a
culture of inquiry to support and enhance learning for PreK to Grade 3
students. Our research supports the notion that a culture of inquiry can
powerfully shape teaching and learning in school contexts and support
achievement of curricular outcomes because interdependent, selfdirected co-learners (teachers and students) are more deeply engaged
in teaching/learning processes.
My interest in the importance of creating dialogic classrooms continues
in my present work with teachers and students using a workshop
model for reading and writing. I am particularly interested in how fixed
mindsets and growth mindsets, as coined by Carol Dweck, influence our
beliefs about ourselves as educators, our beliefs about teaching and
learning, and our beliefs about children and what they are capable of.
Carol Demchuk-Kosolofski
As a seconded teacher working in field experiences,
my research interests revolve around rural
partnerships, mentoring, and the working
relationships of the cooperating teachers,
administrators, interns, the school divisions, and
the university. One research project I am presently
working on with Marg Epp will look at the impact
of having teacher candidates in the same school
for both student teaching and internship. In Prairie
Spirit School Division, some teachers have worked with first year

teacher candidates and requested them as interns. The questions we
have are: 1) What has been the impact of this two year relationship
on a) student learning, b) the school community, and c) the mentor/
mentee relationship and 2) What are the implications for the PSSD/U of S
partnership? We will be sending out a short survey, then meeting with
the focus group for a half day in February.
As well, I am presently working on a research project that revolves
around the question – What Do Cooperating Teachers Need?- which will
involve a survey and consequent report.

My current research interest and involvement relates
to the development and delivery of quality physical
education programs that meet the holistic needs
of all students. To that end, my role with Saskatoon
Public Schools involves facilitation of Collaborative
Inquiry Teams (CIT’s) in the area of Physical
Education.
The purpose of CITs is to assess the learning needs of students and
respond to them with research-based instructional practices that will
lead to effective realization of student outcomes. Evidence of student
response to the instructional practice is used to inform future decisions
about program delivery.
Through these teams, we hope to gain a better understanding in a
variety of areas, a few of which include:
•
using physical activity back backs to increase the transference of
learning that takes place at school to application at home and in
the community,
•
using inquiry through a Teaching Games for Understanding model
to develop creative and critical thinking skills,
•
teaching personal and social responsibility through Physical
Education, and
•
having student lead conferences in Physical Education
It is hoped that collegial sharing and responding within, and between,
teams will result in deepened learning that extends beyond an
individual or team and benefits our whole system.
