Abstract | Guest (2013) motivated the development of learning standards for Economics in Australia. Since then, under the auspices of an Australian Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) National Senior Teaching Fellowship, with support from the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) and endorsement by the Economics Society of Australia, a set of Learning Standards for Economics in Australia has been developed through a collaborative and highly consultative process. In addition, a set of exemplar assessment items has also been developed which align with, and link to, the developed Learning Standards. This paper provides an update on this development including: details of the process by which the Learning Standards were developed, a brief discussion of the Learning Standards themselves and of the accompanying assessment items, and, finally, a discussion of the intended impact of the whole process on the teaching and learning of Economics at Australian universities. |
