Title: | Consolidating Strengths and Innovation: An Investigation of National Standards and Units in History at the University of New England | Contributor(s): | Nye, Adele (author)![]() |

The findings have been drawn from interviews with staff and analysis of Unit information and evaluations. The report includes a comparative analysis of other universities and their responses to national standards, and an explanation of two national bodies: Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) and the Higher Education Standards Panel (HESP). Given the current uncertainty about these bodies and the impact on history in universities, I have made two recommendations. Firstly, the UNE History team: Begin a process of reshaping and articulation of learning outcomes in line with the national standards and secondly: Establish foundational, consolidation and capstone units. This report acknowledges that this is a significant undertaking at a time when staff are already overstretched; however, I would argue it is imperative History at UNE keeps pace with the disciplinary practices, builds upon current strengths and remains a competitive player in the field of history in higher education. | Publication Type: | Report | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Armidale, Australia | ISBN: | 9781921597510 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130303 Education Assessment and Evaluation 130103 Higher Education |
