About

Dr. Tanya Doyle, (B. Sc, Grad. B. Ed (Hons Class 1), Ph.D., began her career in education as a secondary school teacher, before commencing sessional employment with James Cook University, leading to doctoral studies and her current appointment in Education.

Tanya teaches curriculum studies subjects in science education as well as teacher education professional practices subjects. Since 2018, Tanya has been co-leading JCU's work on the Graduate Teacher Performance Assessment (GTPA) and, as such, much of her work  focuses on the preparation of graduate teachers in the final year of their program of study. Most recently, Tanya's work in this space was recognised by way of  JCU Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning for fostering classroom ready teachers, along with her colleagues Dr. Neus (Snowy) Evans and Dr. Peta Salter.  Since 2019, Tanya has served as First Year Co-ordinator for Education on the Townsville campus.

Tanya's research interests range from STEM curriculum to preservice teacher education, with a focus on the role that education policy plays in shaping educational opportunities.

Summary
The Youth Research Grants Program aims to stimulate interest in research which reflects the needs and views of young people through enabling them to be involved in setting priorities for and selection of research projects. The Program supports the vision set out in the Queensland Youth Strategy (QYS) that promotes young people?s active contribution to Queensland's economic, civic and cultural life. This project aims to engage with young people (17?24-year-olds) in north and far north Queensland currently studying at James Cook University (JCU), to provide an opportunity to share their thoughts, concerns, dreams and desires, and to provide inspiration for a JCU-led research project with and for youth with a focus on wellbeing, future aspirations, concerns and potential solutions to urgent issues. The project would focus on JCU discipline areas of Social Work, Sociology, Education and Creative Arts, with an intention for young people to develop and present art works- and in particular visual and wearable art- expressing their concerns and aspirations. Please refer to the Project Proposal for full details of the Project?s timing and objectives.
