Your student journey mapped against the UniSC Graduate Attributes
You can see your student journey mapped showing where and how in your program at each level you will have the opportunity to develop these skills (including placements, projects, and other types of learning activities).
Independently problem solve and think critically; generate original ideas and concepts and appreciate innovation and entrepreneurship.
Problem or inquiry-based learning. Thinking strategies (decision making, T charts, mind maps, prioritising, relationship mapping, problem identification, brainstorming, network analysis, grouping, SWOT analysis, logic problems, group work). A clear time frame for an activity/task.
"I used critical & creative thinking, engaged and knowledgeable when working in a team for group assessments and volunteering roles. I was able to take what I had learnt about event management and put it into use in my volunteer role. I suggested to the event organiser about an issue that could arise from the run sheet, which was fixed before it causes problems." - UniSC student
Apply skills and knowledge to real work issues and contexts.
Empowered learning outcomes in courses are related to students applying and performing proficiency-based tasks and activities that relate to a profession, career, or research tasks. Often these tasks will be embedded into simulated or real-world contexts and ask students to demonstrate competency.
"I have accessed the graduate attribute "empowered" through my personal pursuit for professional development opportunities. While my degree has equipped me with a broad range of knowledge I will use in my future career, I believe there are many practical skills I will develop over time. Professional development opportunities such as a literacy teaching strategies workshop I attended, will only improve my employability skills and my effectiveness as a graduate teacher." - UniSC Education student
Contributing positively to diverse communities through practice, research, service and leadership.
Authentic assessments designed around real-world settings, challenges or tasks. Professional simulations, site visits, invited expert speakers or presentations. Workplace or simulated situation.
"I contributed to the group scenario by offering different ideas to solve the various issues presented. I think I did well to agree with and support the ideas of the other group members and bounce off their suggestions to create a collaborative and engaged atmosphere. Because I am a member of the student guild team, I brought that perspective into my discussion where I mentioned becoming involved in student clubs and societies, as well as general support from the guild." - UniSC student
Understand ethical dilemmas, make ethical and professional choices and lead with integrity in intellectual, professional and community pursuits.
Substantive conversations, debates, inquiry based complex problems, comparisons of options, questioning, workplace simulations, working in teams, ethical dilemmas, and case studies.
"Ethical considerations make up a large part of the skills that I have obtained. Also being an active listener. I have found that I, as well as many of my peers and professional staff do not practice active listening to the desired level. In the workplace we are faced with many trust issues from clients and fellow co-workers, as well as mental and other wellbeing concerns. By actively listening the real problems / issues / crux can be identified and this also creates trust." - UniSC student
Build disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge through a scholarly approach.
Problem and inquiry-based learning, collaboration, discussion, expert groups, case studies, debate, scenarios, using multivocal texts, small group reading tasks, questioning and research projects.
"I will continue to work on being knowledgeable by engaging in Professional Development opportunities offered by the University and appropriate professional associations. Additionally, I will also continue to develop this quality by asking more open questions when in conversation, allowing more opportunities to be an active listener and be fully present with people and their interests and knowledge. This will require less multitasking and more mindful presence. I will also start to watch documentaries that are passionately suggested as essential viewing. This will replace my current practice of ignoring all suggestions when the content is, seemingly, out of my interests." - UniSC student
Understand the interrelated nature of all systems and support a socially just and environmentally healthy future.
Problem and inquiry-based learning, investigating wicked problems, collaboration, expert groups, scenarios, simulations and debates.
"Sustainability focus is something that I practice in my personal life, however I can improve upon this at university by leaving a legacy through Active Minds and the Nursing and Midwifery group that encourages new students to support the next generation of nurses to become the best students that they can be." - UniSC student
Effective, culturally appropriate and respectful sharing of knowledge and understanding with diverse audiences.
Conveys ideas clearly and fluently, in both written and spoken forms. Clearly communicates results of research in a format suitable to the task. Interacts effectively with others in order to work towards a common outcome. Utilises discipline-specific terms accurately. Analyses and applies confidently a range of communication formats, strategies and technologies that are dependent on content, purpose, audience and context. Recognises that choice of content and method of communication manipulates the message to represent a particular viewpoint and, where applicable, justifies information with credible evidence and sources.
"I feel I have good communication when I have completed activities related to the Student as Partners. I feel I have a good understanding of positive communication and know how to listen and give direction when needed." - UniSC student
Flexible thinking, problem solving, respectful sharing of knowledge and determining future direction.
Works successfully with people from a wide range of backgrounds. Shows appreciation for the contributions of others. Productively contributes to the group. Defines roles and responsibilities and negotiates own position. Networks with identified strengths of others to reach a desired outcome. Keeps other participants informed as to progress towards achieving goals. Accepts intellectual criticism, applies conflict and resolution strategies, compromises and negotiates with group members. Reflects on own contribution, provides evaluative feedback to others involved in a collaborative process and accepts feedback on own performance from them. Contributes to a supportive environment that fosters collaboration.
"Today, I participated in a 'Students as Partners' group zoom interview, which enabled me to use the graduate skills of communication, collaboration and problem-solving to address the outcomes for a given scenario. As a group, we were able to successfully engage in the scenario, employing our combined knowledge to be creative and thinking critically and enable a positive outcome." - UniSC student
Employing systematic approaches to find appropriate and novel solutions.
Analyses a task using a systematic method selected from a range of approaches. Applies knowledge and is prepared to construct new knowledge during the problem-solving process. Combines a variety of strategies and techniques to resolve problems. Analyses, generates and transmits solutions to unpredictable, real world and sometimes complex problems.
"When I first began volunteering as a Student Leader, I shadowed the academic skills team to observe and learn how they approach problem solving student issues and the way they communicated their solutions or suggestions to students. For example, one of the most important aspects of assisting students with their assessment work is to allow them to do it themselves, instead of you doing it for them. The academic skills team would always direct students to the online library
or blackboard and problem solve with the student. E.g. if a student was having issues starting their assignment, the academic skills team member would direct them to the assessment task sheet and rubric so that they could read what was required with the student and together work out what was required. When I began helping students, I adopted this approach to problem solving and communication. Not only did it allow the student to get the most from my assistance, but it also created a deeper connection with the student, allowing them to feel more comfortable talking to me and asking for help." - UniSC student
Self-management and responsibility for self and others to successfully achieve goals.
Completes tasks on time and identifies the organisational requirements to do so such as delegation, timelines, resources, research. Follows procedural guidelines to produce a product. Organises materials needed to perform, conduct or produce a set task. Analyses and evaluates strategies being used to approach tasks and is prepared to change ways of working to adopt strategies more likely to lead to successful completion. Recognises when support is required to effect positive change in organisational methods and systems. Reflects on the effectiveness of their organisational skills in augmenting their own personal and professional performance.
"During my tenure as a Student Leader I further developed my communication and organisation skills. Having a full and productive schedule requires thorough planning and communication. As time passed, I gained more confidence in communicating thoughts and ideas, as well as saying no to certain activities where I could not contribute effectively, or where I felt I would not receive beneficial learning or skills development. Time planning is crucial in ensuring mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, balancing work, volunteer, school and social life is daunting at times, but with organisation and planning the balance can be kept. It is a skill that requires ongoing development." - UniSC student
Expertise in the specific technological need and skill set of the field or industry of practice.
Creates a product or outcome. Stores, organises and manages knowledge and data. Performs field or industry related practice. Communicates and shares information. Selects a technology based on most efficient and effective result, or against a set of predetermined requirements. Is open to using new and germane technological advances and emerging technologies. Analyses and evaluates applicability and effectiveness of technologies, recognising advantages and limitations. Continues development of technological knowledge and skills to remain current in their application. Reflects on the effectiveness of selected technology and its purpose. Applies ethical responsibilities and rules of etiquette to technology use. Incorporates technology within personal and professional practices and recognises the need to remain current in their application as part of lifelong learning.
"I currently have little confidence with two graduate skills, which are applying technologies and sustainability-focused. I intend to develop my applying technologies skill by attending workshops and investigating technologies in my own time and setting myself some personal goals, so that I am able to enter the workforce with applying technology confidence. I intend to become more sustainable in my ways and learn how my own and others’ actions today will impact tomorrow. I intend to learn about sustainability and its impact by watching documentaries and implementing current methods into my routine, for example, using a 'keep cup' for hot drinks instead of plastic disposable ones." - UniSC student
Make sense of information and construct new understandings.
Identifies that information is needed and defines what and how much is required. Understands quality sources and how to access these effectively. Determines appropriate and effective strategies to search for and manage relevant
information. Critically evaluates, analyses and synthesises information as to its relevance, value and credibility. Uses information strategically. Uses information resources ethically and references appropriately. Applies information literacy skills to personal and professional practices and understands that their continued development and application is essential to being a lifelong learner.
"My information literacy could use improvement; I believe once I have a firm grasp of information, I am very successful in applying it properly, however it sometimes takes me longer than expected to grasp the knowledge correctly. I think this is just something that comes with practice; the more I learn and explore, the more this skill will improve." - UniSC student
