Current Institution: University of New South Wales
Fellowship: ALTC National Teaching Fellowship at University of New South Wales
Fellowship Duration: 2010 - 2012
This fellowship will address the further development of academic standards (student learning outcomes, SLOs) for undergraduate psychology education, particularly the refinement of SLOs emphasising psychological literacy and global citizenship. The issue relates to increasing national and international emphasis on accountability in terms of sustainable and relevant educational outcomes. The issue will be addressed primarily through a wide range of network-based curriculum renewal activities, involving key national stakeholder groups. Innovative curriculum strategies for SLO development and assessment will be identified, and guidelines for minimum SLO attainment, assessment and evaluation will be created. These national disciplinary outcomes will be embedded through network prioritising and program accreditation processes. Transdisciplinary impact will be achieved through strategic institutional and national engagement, focusing on generalisation of academic standard development processes, with particular emphasis on global citizenship. Specific indicators of these outcomes are outlined.
