Teacher Time Use is the app for the Australian Research Council project, "Time-Use, Time Poverty and The Intensification of Teachers Work (LP190101301)." In partnership with the Queensland Teachers’ Union (QTU), the project is investigating workload and work intensification in Queensland schools.
Teacher Time Use app acts as a digital diary of time-use. The app will be designed to collect data on both contact time, non-contact time and time spent on tasks outside of school hours. To capture information on intensification, the app will also collect data on how time is experienced, such as whether or not there is “enough” time within the day. During this stage of the research the app will be piloted with a small group of participants to ensure it is fit for purpose.
