The primary goal of this subject is to assist students to develop a sense of professional
identity as they transition from their undergraduate studies into the workforce or
to postgraduate studies. This subject is positioned as a Level 4 subject as it is
envisaged that it will build upon students' conceptual understandings attained in
SC1101: Science: Nature, Knowledge and Understanding, ED2610 Nature of Inquiry, and
ED3610 Professional Communication Practices, and ED3620 Professional Practices: Assessment
& Evaluation. This subject will provide opportunities for STEM undergraduate students
to enhance their professional skills and competencies and to consolidate their career
development and planning. In addition, ED4620: Developing Your Professional Identity
will facilitate opportunities for the STEM students to reflect on their own development
as an ethical citizen and as a future leader in the tropics. Having completed the
two pre-requisite professional practice education minor subjects, students will be
placed, as a team of 2 to 3 students, in a service learning project where they are
to collaborate in order to enable an organisation or institution to enact and evaluate
a science communication/education project in the community.
Learning Outcomes
- work with community groups or organisations to negotiate and enact a project with
benefits for the both the community-partner and the student, and record this in a
value proposition statement;
- collaborate with peers and community representatives to scope the logistical aspects
of the project, including protocols for communication and strategies for evaluating
the outcomes of the project;
- create and evaluate a communication plan and associated communication products as
well as an evaluation plan and associated evaluation products;
- critically reflect on the effectiveness of their own contribution towards realising
the goals of the negotiated project.
