    An Ghaeilge sa chóras oideachais in Éirinn, 1922-1972
    (Gaeloideachas, 2023-11-10) Hyland, Áine
    Bunaíodh an córas náisiúnta bunscoile in Éirinn sa bhliain 1831. Córas cabhrach a bhí ann, faoinar cuireadh maoiniú ar fáil do scoileanna a bhí faoi úinéireacht pátrúin áitiúla agus a bhí á mbainistiú go háitiúil, ach a lean curaclam náisiúnta. Don chéad caoga bliain ní raibh cead an Ghaeilge a mhúineadh ins na scoileanna náisiúnta. In 1872 tugadh isteach córas íocaíochta de réir torthaí (Payment by Results) inar íocadh múinteoirí ar bhonn thorthaí a gcuid daltaí. Cé nach raibh an Ghaeilge fós san áireamh i gcuraclam na scoile náisiúnta, d'fhéadfaí í a mhúineadh lasmuigh d'uaireanta scoile mar ábhar breise a raibh táillí breise le híoc le múinteoirí ina leith (Hyland agus Milne, lch. 128). I 1904 cuireadh clár dá-theangach i bhfeidhm a d'fhéadfaí a mhúineadh i scoileanna i gceantair ina labhraítí Gaeilge, nó Gaeilge agus Béarla. Cé gur cuireadh deireadh le híocaíocht de réir torthaí sa bhlian 1900 d'ábhair eile a mhúineadh lasmuigh d'uaireanta scoile, leanadh de tháillí a íoc as múineadh na Gaeilge (Walsh, 2011, lch.50). Faoi 1921, bhí an Ghaeilge á múineadh nó á húsáid taobh istigh d'uaireanta scoile i 240 scoil (as os cionn 5,000 scoil san iomlán) agus múineadh í mar ábhar breise lasmuigh d'uaireanta scoile i 1,890 scoil (Ó Domhnalláin, 1987).

    Address by Áine Hyland, Professor of Education, University College Cork, at the HEEU Conference on Rural Issues in Higher Education
    (Higher Education Equality Unit, 2001-11-22) Hyland, Áine; O'Connell, Angela
    Thank you for inviting me to contribute to this conference on rural issues in Higher Education. This is an important and neglected topic and I would like to compliment the HEEU for putting it on the agenda. Data on access to, participation in and benefit from higher education by students from rural backgrounds in Ireland is scarce and there is little published information from an Irish perspective on the matter. As with so many other neglected issues, the HEEU is breaking new ground in addressing this issue and I look forward to hearing from other conference speakers on this topic.

    The Irish and Mexican education systems – some comparative perspectives
    (2000) Hyland, Áine
    I am pleased and honoured to be invited to speak at this historic conference, where delegates from Ireland and Mexico meet for the first time under the terms of the Education Agreement signed by both countries in 1998. It is timely that this conference should be held as we face into the new millenium – a millenium which holds enormous potential for the human race.

    Biophotonics computer app: fostering multidisciplinary distance self-paced learning with a user-friendly interface
    (Optical Society of America, 2021-09) Saito Nogueira, Marcelo; Gunther, Jacqueline Elizabeth; Jayet, Baptiste; Souza Matias, Jean; Tyndall, Caitriona; Andersson-Engels, Stefan; Science Foundation Ireland
    The biophotonics app enables multidisciplinary and self-paced learning in both in-person or virtual environments. The app can work offline and has a user-friendly interface well accepted by students. App instructions are publicly available.

    Online learning combining virtual lectures, at-home experiments and computer simulations: a multidisciplinary teaching and learning approach
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2021) Saito Nogueira, Marcelo; Komolibus, Katarzyna; Gunther, Jacqueline Elizabeth; Sekar, Sanathana Konugolu Venkata; Jayet, Baptiste; Pacheco Tobo, Andrea Liliana; Li, Celina L.; Maryam, Siddra; Tyndall, Caitriona; Kennedy, Declan; Andersson-Engels, Stefan; Science Foundation Ireland
    We developed a fully-remote biophotonics workshop integrating webinars, computer simulations and at-home experiments to meet the needs of undergraduate students with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Similar strategies/resources could be used in multidisciplinary programs.
