Graduate Attributes – Are they driving learning? And who knows about them? Rachel Spronken-Smith, Carol Bond & Martine Darrou (UO) Martin Jenkins and Margaret Leonard (CPIT) Stanley Frielick (AUT) Stephen Marshall (VUW) Simon Barrie (Sydney) – Advisor

Generic graduate attributes are the qualities, skills and understandings a university community agrees its students should develop during their time with the institution (Bowden et al. 2000) The extent to which the rhetoric of such [graduate attributes] statements actually represents a shared understanding of the outcomes of a university education is a matter of conjecture (Barrie 2006: 216) The extent to which present day university teaching and learning processes actually develop such outcomes in graduates is even more contestable (Barrie 2006: 216)

Brief background Early 1990s – beginning of momentum around GA agenda 1999 Bologna Declaration Bologna process Dublin descriptors – key qualities/ competencies The Tuning Project in Europe and later in the USA (Lumina Foundation) Australia –Series of reports and research Australian Qualifications Framework specifying minimum outcomes for qualifications to be adopted in 2011 (pending approval)

Overall aims To explore the current policies and practices regarding graduate attributes (GAs) in higher education institutions in NZ To instigate change by encouraging higher education institutions to engage more deeply with the GA agenda

Specific objectives 1. Provide a synthesis of current research 2. Identify current policy and practice regarding GAs in New Zealand universities and polytechnics 3. Document and analyse examples of good practice 4. Identify indicators of the impact (benefit) on students and staff of good practices relating to GAs 5. Determine the necessary conditions and possible strategies for the effective development of policies and practices regarding GAs 6. Contribute to the international literature

Research Approach Situated practice Action-oriented – we hope to bring about change Phase 1 Synthesis of the literature Phase 2Stock-take of GA policy and practices in NZ universities and polytechnics Phase 3 Generating case studies of good practice Phase 4Meta-analysis and synthesis of results Underpinned by collaboration, consultation and dissemination

General outcomes of this research Engagement by higher education institutions with the GA agenda curriculum renewal benefits students (and staff) Database of NZ policies and practices regarding GAs Web-based case studies of good practice Institutional packages (research summary, case studies, guidelines, teaching resource materials etc) Publications – reports, journal articles, conference proceedings etc

Progress to date (since March 1) Confirmation of project team and first team meeting Creation of collaborative research spaces online (wiki and Zotero) Collation and evaluation of literature underway Survey tool for stock-take being developed Ethics applications underway Possible case studies are being identified

Possible case studies AUTCPITOtagoVictoria Bachelor of Commerce Bachelor of Applied Science Bachelor of Oral Health Bachelor of Architecture BA - Social Sciences Bachelor of Sustainability and Outdoor Education BA – MusicBachelor of Design Bachelor of Broadcasting BSc - Chemistry

Current Challenges Identifying the historical roots that have influenced current thinking Establishing clear definitions and boundaries for the project Defining what constitutes good practice relating to GAs Identifying case studies of good practice in arts and sciences
