PBE Programs |
|
|
EFPI offers a
range of initiatives which seek to assist in the implementation of PBE at
CSU. PBE programs span professional development events, teaching fellowships
and the development of resources. Increasing the capacity of staff to
integrate PBE within their teaching, learning and assessment influences how
spaces are created which foster the professional and social capabilities of
students: “Practice-based
education (PBE) provides a curriculum framework for these
courses. Throughout CSU curricula, teaching, learning, assessment, curriculum
design, the learning environment and infrastructure are geared towards
grounding students’ learning in preparation for their practice or work roles
and responsibilities in their occupation, profession or industry after
graduation." (Higgs, 2011) EFPI conducts a wide variety of staff development programs spanning workshops, seminars, debates and a summit to examine how PBE is integrated within CSU teaching, learning and assessment. Simulated Practice-Based Learning: Wagga Wagga Workshop WPL Innovations: Video-Conference, 26th March, 2012 Competitive
teaching fellowships are offered annually with funding to support the
successful applicants scholarship in an area of PBE. The four faculties and
EFPI provide for funding of up to six $10,000 fellowships. EFPI manages and
mentors the fellows. 3)
Professional
and practice-based education standards EFPI led the development of a set of standards for all courses that
lead to profession-specific employment. A very inclusive process was undertaken
in 2010 to develop this comprehensive set of professional and practice-based
standards that were accepted at Academic Senate in September 2010. The
primary goal of the standards is to provide an instrument for quality
enhancement. Reference: Higgs J, 2011, Professional and Practice-Based Education at Charles Sturt University, 2e The Education for Practice Institute, CSU, Sydney Olympic Park. |
