<p>PROGRAM STRUCTURE</p><p>Review considerations and the final program design. Programs must:  clearly reflect the University’s vision and strategic priorities and the Faculty / School / Discipline vision and strategic priorities, which includes ensuring the following are integrated and embedded:  effective and active use of technology to support learning, including use of MyUni,  small group discovery experiences for all students in each year of their study in a program,  development of both academic and professional literacies,  development of career readiness,  development of research skills and critical reflective thinking skills,  development of independent learning skills and encouragement of intellectual curiosity, and  a capstone research experience in the final year of all undergraduate programs.  ensure both compliance with and alignment to external drivers and industry/professional expectations, and  embed learning and assessment activities that reflect appropriate and current pedagogies.</p><p>Content, knowledge, skills and application Over the life of the program the balance between technical and foundation knowledge, and the development of professional skills will vary as illustrated below.</p><p>For many programs with explicit professional outcomes, industry / employers expectations regarding knowledge and skills required of graduates are often easily identified. However, expectations about the professional skills required in these cases are often poorly defined. Professional skills largely concern professional behaviour and the ability to ‘think like a professional’. By focussing on development of these professional skills throughout the life of the program, students have a context for the acquisition of knowledge and technical skills, and are more likely to ‘see the point’.</p><p>1 04.12.2013 Over the life of the program student will move from knowing to doing through understanding.</p><p>2 04.12.2013 Whole of program integrating all drivers and requirements</p><p>3 04.12.2013 Whole of program approach</p><p>4</p><p>04.12.2013</p>
