Desired Outcome<br />

Indicator <strong>for</strong> Evaluation (evidence)<br />

Evaluation of trans-disciplinary workshops on the<br />

topics related to the development <strong>and</strong> /or assessment<br />

of <strong>global</strong> <strong>citizenship</strong><br />

5. Findings<br />

5.1. In Relation to Achievement of the Aims <strong>and</strong> Desired Outcomes of the<br />

Fellowship<br />

Overall, the vast majority of the aims <strong>and</strong> desired outcomes of this Fellowship<br />

have been met. As one would expect, due to the turbulent nature of the contexts in<br />

which Fellowships are conducted, the extent to which particular aims have been<br />

realized varies from having fully achieved all facets of an intended outcome to<br />

having made relatively little progress. However, overall, it is my view that the<br />

Fellowship has successfully achieved its aims <strong>and</strong> objectives.<br />

This section contains a summary of achievements in relation to each of the<br />

Fellowship’s Desired Outcomes. However, <strong>for</strong> a more comprehensive description of<br />

the full range of achievements of this Fellowship, see the Final Report 2012, ALTC<br />

5.1.1 Desired Outcome 1 (DO1): Greater appreciation of inter<strong>national</strong> issues<br />

(US, UK, Europe) with respect to the definition <strong>and</strong> adoption of aims<br />

(Graduate Attributes), Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), <strong>and</strong><br />

St<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>for</strong> UG Psychology programs<br />

Achievements:<br />

It is clear from the available evidence that the Fellowship has been grounded in <strong>and</strong><br />

enabled by, ongoing engagement with inter<strong>national</strong> ef<strong>for</strong>ts to address the<br />

central issues that are the focus of the Fellowship. In particular, there is<br />

evidence that the Fellowship has in<strong>for</strong>med, <strong>and</strong> been in<strong>for</strong>med by, work that is<br />

currently being done in the United States (e.g., to work being done by the Society <strong>for</strong><br />

Teaching of Psychology, Division 2 of the American Psychological Association), the<br />

United Kingdom (e.g., the work being done by the UK Higher Education Academy)<br />

<strong>and</strong> Europe (e.g., the work being done as part of the EuroPsy Tuning process).<br />

Substantial contributions to the scholarly literature <strong>and</strong> to inter<strong>national</strong> meetings with<br />

a focus on UG Psychology education <strong>and</strong> the definition <strong>and</strong> adoption of aims (GAs),<br />

SLOs, <strong>and</strong> <strong>st<strong>and</strong>ards</strong> <strong>for</strong> same, have helped to ensure that the work being done in<br />

Australia <strong>and</strong> via this Fellowship, in<strong>for</strong>ms <strong>and</strong> is in<strong>for</strong>med by, debate <strong>and</strong> approaches<br />

being taken elsewhere.<br />

Some of the particular contributions of the Fellow in relation to this outcome include:<br />

<br />

Substantial contributions to the content of the 4 th Inter<strong>national</strong> Conference on<br />

Psychology Education (ICOPE), Sydney, July 2010.<br />
