Current Institution: Griffith University
Fellowship: OLT National Senior Teaching Fellowship at Griffith University
Fellowship Duration: 2012 - 2014
The fellowship aims to develop learning standards in economics by aligning Australian Quality Framework (AQF) Level 7 Bachelors degree learning outcomes with disciplinary core knowledge and skills and benchmarking these learning outcomes through an assessment framework. The Fellow will work with leaders in economics education and all stakeholders to build grassroots support for Australian learning standards in economics, drawing on work in the UK and the Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes project. Outcomes of the fellowship will be a shared understanding of minimum learning outcomes in economics in terms of core knowledge and skills and their fit with the AQF learning outcomes, and a framework for assessing student attainment of learning outcomes. The fellowship will be disseminated through workshops at site visits, a national symposium, conference presentations, a dedicated website, and journal articles.
