AUTC Physics Project

A project was commissioned in 2003 by the Australian Universities Teaching Commission (AUTC) titled Learning Outcomes and Curriculum Development in Physics.

Its aims were to evaluate a wide range of teaching practice and innovation in tertiary physics nationwide, including teaching in multidisciplinary contexts, use of technologies, responsiveness to changing student background and expectations, employer satisfaction, and the contribution to the training of secondary physics teachers.

Stage 1 of the project was completed in 2004. A report detailing the findings has been produced and published. The executive summary can be viewed here and the complete report is here.

Stage 2 involved effective dissemination. A 1-day workshop took place on Wednesday 28th September at the University of Sydney. It was held in conjunction with the 2005 UniServe Science Conference (28-30 Sept), and proved to be very successful, with 45 delegates representing 23 institutions participating.
