| Izvleček: | Recent changes to the accreditation of psychologists in Australia have brought into sharp focus the competencies of psychologists. Now more than ever, psychology graduates need to demonstrate various graduate attributes pertaining to specialist knowledge of the discipline, the application of this knowledge, critical thinking, and research and communication skills. As a result of this recent emphasis on psychology graduate attributes, calls have been made to: (1) assess these attributes in the undergraduate psychology courses offered to students, and (2) design curricula that embed learning activities fostering the development of these attributes. Despite this need, there exists no valid measure of psychology graduate attributes, nor have curricula been designed to assist students in achieving these attributes. This project fills these gaps by refining a self and peer assessment measure of psychology graduate attributes, and developing an innovative problem-based, collaborative learning approach to enhance psychology students' development of these attributes and improve learning outcomes. This document is the final report from the project. |
