Abstract

The Science Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs) are a consensus set of academic standards for Australian university Science education. They were developed by Prof. Brian Yates and Prof. Sue Jones, supported by Dr Jo-Anne Kelder, during 2010–2011. The co-authors of this paper are key figures in Australian Science education, and in this manuscript, we have used a reflective semi-structured interview approach to describe the process of developing the Science TLOs and consider their subsequent effect on tertiary science education in Australia. This manuscript documents Sue and Brian’s impact on science curriculum through the lenses of leadership, community and practice. We have a twofold aim: first to draw lessons for harnessing consensus in scientific communities on the value and purpose of a tertiary science education, and second to celebrate the success of these influential and impactful leaders in our community. We demonstrate how work to develop the TLOs has transformed tertiary science education in Australia.

“变革性”:科学的门槛学习成果

科学门槛学习成果(TLOs)是澳大利亚大学科学教育的一套共识学术标准。它们由Brian Yates教授和Sue Jones教授在2010-2011年期间在Jo-Anne Kelder博士的支持下开发。本文的共同作者是澳大利亚科学教育的关键人物，在本文中，我们使用了反思性半结构化访谈方法来描述发展科学TLOs的过程，并考虑其对澳大利亚高等科学教育的后续影响。这份手稿记录了苏和布莱恩通过领导、社区和实践的镜头对科学课程的影响。我们有两个目标:第一，吸取教训，利用科学界对高等科学教育的价值和目的的共识;第二，庆祝我们社区中这些有影响力和影响力的领导人的成功。我们展示了开发TLOs的工作如何改变了澳大利亚的高等科学教育。

期刊介绍： Australian Journal of Chemistry - an International Journal for Chemical Science publishes research papers from all fields of chemical science. Papers that are multidisciplinary or address new or emerging areas of chemistry are particularly encouraged. Thus, the scope is dynamic. It includes (but is not limited to) synthesis, structure, new materials, macromolecules and polymers, supramolecular chemistry, analytical and environmental chemistry, natural products, biological and medicinal chemistry, nanotechnology, and surface chemistry. Australian Journal of Chemistry is published with the endorsement of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Academy of Science.
