Learning and Teaching Academic Standards Project Setting standards for higher education Dr Carol Nicoll PSM Chief Executive Officer June 2010

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL The new TEQSA will be at the centre of a new standards- based quality assurance framework…. Key to the success of the new quality assurance arrangements – and meaningful academic standards in particular – will be the active involvement of the academic community…. Discipline communities will ‘own’ and take responsibility for implementing academic standards... within the academic traditions of collegiality, peer review, pre-eminence of disciplines and, importantly, academic autonomy…. Australian Government, 2009 Transforming Australia’s Higher Education System p.32

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL TEQSA will regulate the higher education sector in line with agreed standards. The standards framework will likely comprise the following: Provider standards Qualification standards – AQF Learning and Teaching Standards: Academic Standards, Learning outcomes Research standards – ERA Information standards What context in the sector?

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL Learning and Teaching Academic Standards Project What is the purpose? The LTAS project has been established to facilitate and coordinate discipline communities’ indentifying academic standards

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL Academic standards are learning outcomes described in terms of core discipline knowledge, and core discipline specific skills Expressed as minimum learning outcomes that a graduate of any given discipline (or program) must have achieved Academic standards: a working definition

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL What principles underpin the identification of academic standards? Academic standards will be expressed as measurable or assessable learning outcomes Input and process (eg lab hours) may support but are not substitutes for learning outcomes Minimum learning outcomes will be defined by each discipline community for each level of AQF qualification (ie bachelors, masters, doctorate)

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL Regular review will be required to maintain currency with knowledge and practice Minimum academic standards must be comparable with appropriate international standards Processes for assessment of performance against defined standards must be efficient, transparent, sustainable and include external peer review Processes for assuring academic standards must not give rise to perverse consequences (eg standardisation of curricula)

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL Diversity and academic autonomy will be protected: Individual institutions may set their own learning outcome standards in addition to the defined minimum Individual institutions will determine the curriculum, resources, teaching and assessment methods leading to the achievement of the minimum learning outcomes in their institution

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL Steering Group and Discipline Scholars appointed Forum for senior representatives of discipline areas: a ‘working session in discipline groups’ Forum produces a program of work for each discipline for developing learning outcomes Expert reference groups appointed for each discipline Implementation approach

AUSTRALIAN LEARNING AND TEACHING COUNCIL ALTC the convenor/ facilitator for six discipline-based projects Further disciplines to be identified and additional scholars appointed August to October – consultation drafts December – final report and evaluation
