Substantial contributions to the content of an edited book on <strong>psychological</strong><br />

<strong>literacy</strong>—particularly those chapters that discuss/compare inter<strong>national</strong><br />

Facilitation of a retreat jointly sponsored by the British Psychological Society, the<br />

HEA Psychology Network, <strong>and</strong> the Association of Heads of Psychology<br />

Departments, on the Future of UG Psychology in the United Kingdom<br />

Dissemination of in<strong>for</strong>mation concerning inter<strong>national</strong> developments/issues in this<br />

area through meetings, conferences, <strong>for</strong>a/symposia, summits, <strong>and</strong> workshops<br />

within <strong>and</strong> outside higher education institutions in Australia, US, UK <strong>and</strong> Europe.<br />

Finding: The available evidence suggests that DO1 has been achieved.<br />

5.1.2 Desired Outcome 2: Greater appreciation of <strong>national</strong> issues <strong>and</strong> their<br />

influence on peak disciplinary bodies with respect to the definition <strong>and</strong><br />

adoption of aims (Graduate Attributes), Student Learning Outcomes,<br />

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

Achievements:<br />

It is clear from the available evidence that the activities associated with this<br />

Fellowship have had a significant impact on raising the awareness of <strong>national</strong><br />

issues <strong>and</strong> their influence on the definition <strong>and</strong> adoption of aims (GAs), SLOs, <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>st<strong>and</strong>ards</strong> <strong>for</strong> UG Psychology.<br />

The Fellow’s membership (<strong>and</strong> sometimes leadership) of key <strong>national</strong> discipline<br />

societies, networks, committees, <strong>and</strong> working groups have provided her with<br />

considerable opportunity to develop her own <strong>and</strong> others’ appreciation of <strong>national</strong><br />

issues <strong>and</strong> trends that influence <strong>and</strong> are influenced by the definition <strong>and</strong> adoption of<br />

aims (GAs), SLOs, <strong>and</strong> <strong>st<strong>and</strong>ards</strong> <strong>for</strong> UG Psychology.<br />

In particular, her membership of the PDAC has enabled her to ensure that discussion<br />

of UG Psychology has been a key element of this Committee’s agendas <strong>for</strong> more<br />

than half of their meetings throughout 2011 <strong>and</strong> 2012.<br />

Her membership of the UG subcommittee of NPETRG has provided important<br />

opportunities <strong>for</strong> the Fellow to engage <strong>national</strong> policy <strong>and</strong> decision makers within the<br />

discipline in a consideration of the issues associated with the future direction <strong>and</strong><br />

development of UG Psychology education, its aims, learning objectives, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

<strong>st<strong>and</strong>ards</strong> that should be applied to the assessment of student learning.<br />

Substantial contributions to <strong>national</strong> meetings of the HODSPA have also enabled the<br />

Fellow to raise awareness, amongst the key institutional stakeholders with the<br />

responsibility <strong>and</strong> opportunity to change UG Psychology curriculum in Australian<br />

universities, of the issues associated with the definition <strong>and</strong> adoption of aims<br />

(Graduate Attributes), Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), <strong>and</strong> St<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>for</strong> UG<br />

Psychology programs.<br />

Other contributions of the Fellow in relation to the achievement of this outcome<br />
