This seminar will disseminate the findings of the Historical Thinking Extension Grant.

This project embraced several objectives. The key element in the first phase was structuring the History curriculum in a way which scaffolds the development of Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs), with a particular focus on developing skills in the use of primary sources. The next phase focused on developing assessments which support the TLOs and which demonstrate their mastery by students over a three-year undergraduate course.

The Project Leaders, Michael Sturma and James Trotter, from the School of Arts, have worked with Murdoch history staff over a series of 6 seminars. In addition, the project hosted several seminars from two interstate academics: Associate Professor Jennifer Clark from the University of New England, and Professor Jill Roe, Professor Emerita at Macquarie University. 

Date: Friday 16 August, 2.30-3.30pm, followed by wine and cheese and an opportunity to network with colleagues. 

Venue: FTLR 4th floor North Wing Library, 4.040, Murdoch University
