  • Academic Identity in Themes for the Third Decade Strategic Plan at Divine Word University
    Contemporary PNG Studies: DWU Research Journal Volume 33, November 2020 1 Academic identity in themes for the Third Decade Strategic Plan at Divine Word University Philip Gibbs & Jeanette Baird Abstract This paper, from a wider research study exploring how academic identities are constructed, maintained, presented and adjusted at Divine Word University, describes themes that academics would like to be emphasised in the University’s current Strategic Plan, as a way of discovering significant features of their desired or projected academic identities. Interviews with 57 academic staff on the University’s three main campuses, and specifically their responses to a question on what DWU should be promoting in its Strategic Plan, provided a data set for analysis. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify several key themes, three of which are aspirational and reflect achievements yet to be realised by the University. DWU academics are open to engaging with these aspirations. Other themes address more immediate issues of facilities, rewards and parity of esteem for branch campuses. The findings indicate a general desire by academic staff to reinforce their academic identities and capabilities through international partnerships, professional development, the conduct of research and the use of e- learning. These desires are congruent with several strategic objectives in the Plan and with the organisational identity that they wish the University to project. Our research adds to knowledge of academic identity formation in developing nations and will help the University better to support its staff. Key words: Academic identity, strategic plan, Divine Word University, Papua New Guinea Introduction In this paper, we describe themes that Divine Word University academics would like to be emphasised in the University’s current Strategic Plan, to reveal significant features of their desired academic identities.

  • Digital Skills at Divine Word University, Papua New Guinea Volume 8
    IAFOR Journal of Education: Technology in Education Volume 8 – Issue 2 – 2020 Digital Skills at Divine Word University, Papua New Guinea Iwona Kolodziejczyk Divine Word University Papua New Guinea Philip Gibbs Divine Word University Papua New Guinea Cecilia Nembou Divine Word University Papua New Guinea Maria Rodina Sagrista Divine Word University Papua New Guinea 107 IAFOR Journal of Education: Technology in Education Volume 8 – Issue 2 – 2020 Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the level of digital skills within a group of university students in Papua New Guinea and their ability to meaningfully engage within the digital world. The study also aimed to explore whether the traditionally recognized digital divide continues between genders and place of origin, and between years of study and faculties. This study utilizes the framework defined by Van Deursen and Van Dijk who identify operational, formal, information and strategic skills. The study measured the internet skills of students by asking 289 participants to complete sixteen assignments on the internet. The results indicate that, on average, the tasks were completed as follows: 38% of operational skills, 13% of formal internet skills, 30% of information skills and 28% of strategic internet skills. Age and gender were not significant; however, performances were significantly different for students from the capital city as compared to those coming from a rural town or village environment, and performance improved as students moved through the four years of university training. Differences in groups from specific faculties are significant but require further study to explain. If operational and formal skills are a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for performance of higher-level information and strategic skills, then tertiary institutions, particularly those facing the effects of the digital divide, will need to ensure that those necessary skills are provided for.

    Divine Word University Graduation Ceremony Address by HE Bruce Davis Australian High Commissioner to Papua New Guinea 15 March 2020 Acknowledgements Thank you for the invitation to be here today. At an occasion like this, seeing all the energy, optimism and potential of the graduating students, it is not hard to understand why Australia is so proud to support Divine Word University. I am very pleased to be back in beautiful Madang Province. This region is rich, not only in agricultural and marine resources, but also in history and culture. The natural beauty of Papua New Guinea’s north coast and its welcoming people mean Madang is renowned throughout the country and in many parts of the world. 1 Today is an occasion to celebrate the achievements of the graduating students of Divine Word University. To acknowledge the hard work which has brought you to this point. And to recognise the support of your families and lecturers who have helped you along the way. I also want to take this opportunity to explain a little more about the support Australia is delivering to Divine Word University and how this fits with our work in Papua New Guinea towards a bright future for this country’s young people. I want to reflect on how the broader development partnership between Papua New Guinea and Australia operates and the crucial role this relationship will play in our shared future. Speaking at an outstanding institution such as Divine Word University, to future leaders of Papua New Guinea, is an ideal opportunity to discuss these issues.

  • The Evolution of Distance Learning and Factors Promoting ICT Use in the Pacific Islands: Focusing on the Possibility of E-Learning Opportunities for Higher Education
    Keio Communication Review No. 34, 2012 The Evolution of Distance Learning and Factors Promoting ICT Use in the Pacific Islands: Focusing on the Possibility of E-Learning Opportunities for Higher Education By Ema TANAKA* Abstract This paper outlined the status quo of higher education opportunities in the Pacific Islands and analyzed the factors required to expand it. According to the enrollment data of local universities and colleges, the local opportunities of higher education and e-learning conditions are different from country to country. Although the local governmental initiatives have played significant role to improve the opportunity, there is difference of availability of local opportunity of higher education. One of the factors of the difference is historical relationship with the ex-suzerain states. With advent of e-learning using Internet access and ICT technologies, the conditions of higher education opportunity is changing. The analysis of this paper indicates that there are emerging opportunities such as local initiative to expand e-learning courses and international movement to improve broadband access in Pacific Islands. To harness these chances, securing new linkages among stakeholders would be desirable as was in the past. Key words: Pacific Islands, Higher education opportunity, E-learning, Internet, International Relationship Introduction Because of their geographical location and economic development status, the Pacific Islands have a lower rate of broadband access than do the metropolitan areas or developed countries. With the intent of increasing and improving broadband access in less developed countries and areas, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and the United Nations (UN) established a new international target in October 2010, which would expand broadband access to * Visiting Researcher of Institute for Digital Society, Project Research Institutes, Comprehensive Research Organization, Waseda University.

  • 1. on Being a Catholic University in Contemporary Papua New Guinea
    Contemporary PNG Studies: DWU Research Journal Vol. 28 May 2019 1 On being a Catholic university in contemporary Papua New Guinea Gabrielle McMullen AM FRACI Abstract Divine Word University (DWU), as the only Catholic university in Papua New Guinea, contributes uniquely to the Church’s higher education mission. Informed by Pope St John Paul II’s Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities, this paper examines how DWU distinguishes itself as a Catholic university and, in particular, as an expression of the Divine Word charism in the PNG context. Keywords: Catholic identity, cultural mission, Divine Word University, Papua New Guinea Introduction Since the Middle Ages, universities have been integral to the educational mission of the Church. The first European universities were founded by the Church or, as encapsulated by Pope St John Paul II, “born from the heart of the Church” (John Paul II, 1990, n. 1). Now spread across the globe, Catholic universities enrich and make a significant contribution to higher education by being a Christian presence in the sector and, in many instances, opening up university studies to disadvantages communities. Divine Word University (DWU), as the only Catholic university in Papua New Guinea (PNG), contributes uniquely to the Church’s higher education mission. This paper gives consideration to how DWU distinguishes itself as a Catholic university and, in particular, as an expression of the Divine Word charism in the PNG context. The essential characteristics of a Catholic university Pope St John Paul II, who spent part of his priestly ministry at the Catholic University of Lublin in Poland, published a definitive work on Catholic universities, The Apostolic Constitution of the Supreme Pontiff on Catholic Universities, in 1990 (John Paul II, 1990).
