Abstract

Curriculum and Pedagogy
This paper describes a partnership between the International Projects Group and Nursing Faculty at USC with the Faculty of Health Sciences, Satya Wacana Kristen University (SWKU) in Central Java. The partnership aims to improve capacity in nursing education in universities in Indonesia by supporting the professional development of key faculty members. Advancing academic leadership supports quality workforce education in nursing which in the longer term, positively impacts sustainable development in health services. A pilot project was funded by the Australian Government, Australian Leadership Awards Fellowship Scheme. The pilot project involved an intensive professional development program run at USC for 6 key SWKU staff. A major component of the program was curriculum development and practice. It involved curriculum design and development, learning and teaching practice, assessment, e-learning design and clinical education. Curriculum planning was based on a three phase curriculum model (Wolf 2007) which involves: [1] visioning-health priorities, situation analysis and aspirations for graduates [2] development-current and future mapping of learning needs and courses [3] implementation and evaluation-considering alignment of learning outcomes, activities and assessment and available resources. We will explore the ways in which this approach contributed to learning and development amongst the group, how the fellows applied new knowledge and skills in curriculum development projects, each of which addressed a locally relevant and meaningful health priority area and how they adapted their learning to their practice at SWKU. We also discuss how the initial program has led to a continuing and growing partnership. Wolf, P.
