We have had our last meeting and are ready to come to Indonesia. Ric has been busy developing some ICU curriculum outline materials for the project and beyond. Have a look below for two draft documents.
iDeas international project is based around a research question at the Loyola end. The research question was framed by DEECD and is -
'What is the impact on student learning outcomes of teaching and learning practices for intercultural understanding?'
The iDeas team at Loyola will try to answer this by creating a collaborative curriculum project to be delivered in 2012.
The Vision - Where we want students to be at in three year's time (Draft 2011 0518)
At the conclusion of the first curriculum project in 2012 it is hoped that the students involved will have developed their skills in intercultural understanding. These skills may be measured by their capacity to:
Understand institutional, social and family processes within each other's cultures,
Develop empathy and respect for different perspectives on issues and communicate successfully with members of each other's culture,
Begin cross cultural friendships in a social and/or academic context,
Develop skills in verbal and non verbal cross cultural literacy,
Develop their individual and collective identities.
The iDeas curriculum project has the following features:
It is designed by teachers from Loyola and Santa Laurensia, and where possible with input from students at both schools
It will be a the Year 10 level (to dovetail with Santa Laurensia's international exchange program to Australia)
The curriculum project for each subject area will be fairly short in duration (approx 2 - 4 weeks work) in 2012
It will include assessable outcomes (as part of both the Australian and Indonesian curricular)
It may have an overall thematic approach but will be implemented in subject specific areas
It may be delivered in all or any of the following time frame modes; simultaneous, parallel, sequential
It will involve problem solving and student investigation
It will involve computer technologies
It will be aimed at increasing both intercultural literacy and understanding of each other's (and other's) cultures in Australian and Indonesian secondary school students
It will be assessable in terms of intercultural understanding as described in the vision above.
