The Australian Deans of Science (ACDS) Teaching and Learning (TL) Centre has been crated as a virtual centre to support quality learning and teaching in science and mathematics in higher education.
One function of the ACDS TL Science Centre is to be a central point for information on the Discipline Networks in Science.
The Discipline Networks are currently focussing on developing and/or implementing discipline-specific threshold learning outcomes (TLOs). TLOs are now available in at least draft form for :
- Biology
- Biomedical Science
- Chemistry
- Mathematics
- Physics
Links to the websites of the relevant networks are found on the ACDS website: http://www.acds.edu.au/tlcentre/
The ACDS TL Centre is supporting specific projects on topics of national importance to university science educators. The project "TLOS in Science" at http://www.acds.edu.au/tlcentre/centreprojects/ aims to:
- provide advice to ACDS on the implementation of the HESP standards in science and mathematics
- construct a 5-year plan for developing the TLOs in course design and assessing learning outcomes.
- recommend action for the ACDS TL Centre to support the use of Science TLOs in Science faculties.
