Item A Model of Collaborative Rubric Construction: Lecturers and Students Learning in Partnership(2019-07-01) Seddon, Jack; Jackson, Wendy; Rickett, Carolyn; Kilgour, Peter W.; Christian, Beverly; Northcote, Maria T.BACKGROUND/CONTEXT
Traditionally, decisions about assessment processes in higher education have been the domain of the lecturer or the course designer. However, university educators have been challenged to partner with students in the early stages of assessment design (Boud & Molloy, 2013). By engaging students in a collaborative process with their university teachers to prepare and create assessment guidelines and rubrics, there is a greater potential for students to take ownership of and be accountable for their own learning.
THE INITIATIVE/PRACTICE
The aim of the research project was to investigate the innovative and collaborative use of assessment rubrics, in partnership between students and academic staff, in order to develop a model of collaborative rubric practice for application in higher education contexts which includes guidelines on rubric co-construction processes that engage both students and teachers.
The project was conducted across six cohorts of undergraduate students in three higher education institutions and their teachers from five different disciplines and degree levels. The varied contexts provided a range of settings, each of which represented multiple cases to explore across multiple sites.
METHOD(S) OF EVALUATIVE DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
The project approach adopted a four-phase, mixed-method design across a two-year period, which included a systematic literature review, use of the Delphi technique and multi-site case studies. Students and teachers provided feedback about rubric co-construction processes via questionnaires, interviews and focus groups.
ISSUES REGARDING RUBRIC CO-CONSTRUCTION
The teaching-learning partnership established by the rubric co-construction initiative may present some challenges and changes to traditional assessment processes, especially in relation to issues such as pre-semester planning of course documentation, sharing the responsibility of assessment design between teachers and students and negotiating with groups of students about assessment and rubric design. Because rubric co-construction does represent a change in the way assessment rubrics are typically designed, the practical ramifications of this collaborative example of curriculum design may introduce institutional challenges that need consideration. However, the initiative also presents opportunities for developing a shared understanding by teachers and students about the purpose of assessment and the quality of learning in higher education.
INTENDED OUTCOME
By the end of this Showcase presentation, the participants will be familiar with a set of research-informed recommendations to engage students and academic staff in the collaborative process of designing and using assessment rubrics to promote learning. Participants will also be provided with details of how to access the project’s website, Owning the rubric, which includes the Model of Collaborative Rubric Construction and Use.
Item A Way of Happening(2014-01-01) Rickett, Carolyn; Beveridge, JudithAn anthology of Australian poetry including student writers alongside established Australian poets.
Item All These Presences(2016-10-01) Rickett, Carolyn; Musgrave, David; Kent, JeanAll These Presences publishes poems by creative writing students at Avondale College alongside work by a selection of established Australian poets. Like the three earlier volumes it follows, Wording the World (2010), Here Not There (2012) and A Way of Happening (2014), it is a unique collaboration between writers at very different stages of learning and practising their craft.
Poetry writing is an intensely personal expression of experience. The poems themselves, however, have a magical ability to move from silence into a world of unexpected conversations and deep connections, not only with readers, but also with other poets. All These Presences is an exciting illustration of that connectedness. It is a vibrant gathering of presences: a fresh and wide-ranging collection of new and mature voices from Australia’s contemporary poetic community.
Item Analogy As a Means of Communicating(2014-12-01) Rickett, Carolyn; Williams, AnthonyThe issue which impacts most significantly on the process of reaching shared understanding, through the design discussion in the team, is the ability of team members to communicate their design ideas and technical concepts with other members of the team. The ability to effectively participate in the forum of a design team unquestionably requires an ability to communicate design ideas and discipline specific information. The study, reported in this paper, considers one of the communication strategies available to the designer, which contributes to effective communication within the design team context, the paper will focus on analogy or the metaphor. In research,to date, on problem solving in scientific research teams [Dunbar,1995] two levels of analogy have been identified. In this study of Multi-disciplinary Design Teams it was established that the team members used a third level of analogy, this relating to the use of “metaphors” drawn from outside the specific design domain the team is working within. The industry based research identified both the importance and complexity of the role of analogy has as a communication practice, but what do our students know about its use and do they know how to use it effectively? This paper looks at the use of analogy and considers ways of introducing our graduates to an understanding of analogy as an effective part of their range of communication strategies.
Item Australasian Research Institute(2020-07-01) Race, Paul; Rickett, CarolynThe Australasian Research Institute (ARI) began July 20, 2004, to coordinate research activities within the Sydney Adventist Hospital (SAH) and also conduct and promote research in association with other Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) organizations and the community. The Institute is located on the campus of SAH and works in conjunction with the Adventist Health Ministries of the South Pacific Division, Avondale University College, and the Australian Health & Nutrition Association Limited, operating as the Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Company.
Item Bad Hair Days and the Good of Pamela Bone's Literary Journalism(2015-12-01) Rickett, Carolyn“I can’t die! I haven’t finished saving the world yet!” (Bone, 2007c, p. 206).
As a recipient of the United Nations media peace prize, Pamela Bone was noted for her fearless reporting on humanitarian, gender and social justice issues. While some of her thought-provoking columns invited controversy, Michael Gawenda notes, “even when people disagreed with her, they respected and understood what she wrote came from her heart and mind and her great moral clarity” (quoted in Chandler, 2008, n.p.).
Retiring from The Age at the end of 2005, Bone accepted an invitation from Melbourne University Press to write a memoir about her cancer experience. As a seasoned practitioner given to distance and objectivity in reporting, Bone’s reluctance to write confessional columns was finally converted into a candid account of her terminal prognosis, using the form of literary journalism. This paper explores the therapeutic value of Bone’s Bad Hair Days, and the wider contribution her autobiographical voicing of illness makes.
Item 'Because Cowards Get Cancer Too’: Autopathography and First-Person Profiling in John Diamond’s Columns for The Times(2015-01-01) Rickett, CarolynThe UK journalist and broadcaster John Diamond chronicled his diagnosis and treatment of throat cancer over a period of almost four years in regular columns for The Times newspaper. His revelations did not employ the traditional tropes of ‘fighting’ and ‘battling’ cancer, and he actively resisted wearing any mantle of valorised courage. In fact, he requested that The Times change the original title of his entries which they had called ‘Diary of Courage’.
In his first-person confessions, Diamond’s embodied sense of an abject and mortal self indexes one of the central threats that illness poses because it potentially represents the antithesis of what society traditionally values: productivity and active participation. Instead of his body enacting the utilitarian story of efficiency and continuity, Diamond’s illness narratives typically portrayed disruption and disorientation. Ironically for a former broadcaster on BBC radio, the progression of cancer saw the removal of his tongue, heightening the performative role writing played in voicing his candid thoughts to an engaged public audience.
As sociologist Arthur Frank notes in his influential text The Wounded Storyteller: Body, Illness, and Ethics: ‘The illness story begins in wreckage, having lost its map and destination’ (1995: 164). Publishing regular newspaper columns did not ultimately offer Diamond the opportunity to defy physical death through the act of writing, but the profiling of his disease enabled an insight into the value of narrating the ‘wrecked’ self while dying.
Publication Beyond Telling: Narrating Trauma in the Wartime Writings of Great War Chaplain William McKenzie(Avondale Academic Press, 2016-07-25) Rickett, Carolyn; Bogacs, Paul; Reynaud, DanielIn a centenary period of Anzac celebration that is often given to the valorising of soldiers’ heroic experiences of the First World War, this article introduces teachers to a case study of William McKenzie. Once a house-hold name, the legendary Salvation Army Chaplain of the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) McKenzie documented his responses to the trauma of war in his prolific letters and diaries. Drawing heavily on primary sources, this article suggests that McKenzie’s story recaptures the essence of what it means to be Christian educators: being engaged in the midst of suffering, disarray and confusion. In the variety of human experiences encountered in the classroom and the playground, the presence of Christian educators must leave a legacy and provide a model for being salt and light.
Item Beyond This Point Here Be Dragons: Consideration and Caution for Supervising HDR Writing Trauma Projects(2017-10-01) Joseph, Sue; Rickett, CarolynAs memoir and autobiographical/autoethnographic texts flourish in the market place, so this emergence is reflected in the tertiary education sector. Mostly sited within journalism, English and creative writing schools, a proportion of these texts incorporate trauma narrative as students turn to creative practice degrees as a means to write through disruptive autobiographical events. Accordingly, supervisors of HDR candidates undertaking long form trauma narrative find themselves more and more immersed in the trauma, bearing witness to their students’ potential unease. We argue that this type of supervision may potentially necessitate a differentiated management approach, with the establishment of additional protocols, informed by the potential dangers of re-traumatisation of the candidate; and vicarious traumatisation of the supervisor. The aim of this paper is to report on some of the preliminary findings of a qualitative research project where a range of Australian academics supervising Higher Degree Research (HDR) candidates writing about traumatic experiences were interviewed regarding supervisory protocols and practices. Here we focus on selected insights from supervisors who responded to one of the interview questions: ‘what do you consider the potential risks for a student and a supervisor involved in HDR projects framed by trauma narrative?’ We anticipate this paper will provide helpful perspectives from experienced academics for early career supervisors about to embark on trauma shaped projects.
Item David Shields Way of Making: Creative Manoeuvre or HDR Nightmare?(2014-01-01) Rickett, Carolyn; Joseph, SueSome people thought I was the anti-christ because I did not genuflect at the twin altars of the novel and intellectual property — David Shields
This paper reflects on some of the issues that American author David Shield’s provocative keynote address at the 2012 Bedells NonfictioNow conference raised for creative arts practitioners within the Australian academy. Using his text Reality Hunger: A Manifesto as an exemplar, Shields enumerated three of the core literary tenets that form the basis of his innovative writing practice: that creativity and plagiarism are synonymous; that the providence of a sentence or phrase or statement does not matter; that appropriation of anything, without citation constitutes a new form of art. In his own words, he has become ‘the poster boy for the death of the novel and the death of copyright’. Essential to the process of creating relevant forms of writing for the 21st century, ‘collage’ and ‘pastiche’ are his literary mainstays, but he is self-effacing enough to admit to plagiarism.
Notwithstanding the irony of his position—that he uses the same texts he claims failed him in order to create his own original art form—this paper explores questions derivative of his reasoning: Would Shields get a project like Reality Hunger: A Manifesto through an HDR application process? How would his model of textual production sit within the academy? Can his way of making have any place in the academy? Is curating in the creative writing strand (fiction and non-fiction) equivalent to creating? Would the academy, like Reality Hunger’s publisher Random House, insist on attribution somewhere within the creative text? How would academics respond to examining a text generated from his mode of creative practice?
Interrogating his notion of ownership (or seeming lack thereof), this paper surveys a range of responses from creative practitioner academics to these questions in a bid to garner some collegial consensus. Mapped against procedural guidelines for both process of application and examination, our ultimate question really is: could Shields’ model of ‘making’ a text like Reality Hunger: A Manifesto fit current academic protocols for a creative thesis within Australian tertiary settings?
