APAC’s Accreditation Standards, in the section relating to graduate competencies, say that graduates must be able to, “Demonstrate interpersonal skills and teamwork.”

That’s sometimes easier said than done. It’s a challenge for higher education providers and for students, too.

Professor Jonathan Mason throws some light on the question.

The symposium comprised four presentations that outlined work undertaken by AIPEP Community of Practice members.

First, a research study on what registered psychologists perceive as gaps in their tertiary education regarding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being was presented (Darnett). This was followed by a case study on effecting cultural change at the disciplinary and institutional levels (Nicholson Perry).

The third presentation described a co-design process for decolonising curricula in a 4th-year psychology course (Mackelprang, Orr, et al.). Lastly, members of the APAC Cultural Responsiveness Working Group described its process of developing the recently published Annexure to Standard 3.8 (cultural responsiveness in curriculum), and how educators can use the Annexure to guide their teaching/program design (Ohan et al.).

This symposium will be useful for educators who are keen to engage in decolonising and Indigenising work at their higher education providers.

  • Dr Joanna Alexi, on behalf of AIPEP (PhD), Research Fellow, School of Indigenous Studies, University of Western Australia
  • Dr Catherine Orr (MPsych (Clinical Neuropsychology)/PhD), Lecturer, Department of Psychological Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology
