Unit rationale, description and aim: ‘Interdependence obliges us to think of one world with a common plan’. (Pope Francis, Laudato Si’: On Care for our Common Home, p.122) Pope Francis challenges us to extend our thinking across new ways in which the relationship between self and community can be realised. In achieving a global consensus on the nature of our relationship to each other and the world in which we live, Pope Francis calls for a https://webapps.acu.edu.au/staffdirectory/index.php?zachariah-duke https://www.acu.edu.au/locations/strathfield/strathfield-campus-map mailto:[email protected] https://www.acu.edu.au/locations/strathfield/strathfield-campus-map mailto:[email protected] https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=CfCaQpbxj0SueVjCEqDyzjp49OKZdWJOhELmfZy_UCZUREdIQVVHN0pGT0hDUkZDMk1GWUdKU09MRy4u Extended Unit Outline – UNCC300: Justice and Change in a Global World Semester 2, 2023 – Online Scheduled (Version 1: 20 July 2023) Page 2 of 26 renewed emphasis on the dignity of the human person as the basis of all action, advocacy and solidarity. Universal fraternity and aspirations for the common good begin with a basic recognition that we need one another. In this unit you should develop your understanding of the dignity of the human person within the context of a global community. You should develop skills that may assist the cooperative efforts of government, business, faith groups, and not-for-profit agencies to achieve a more just and equitable world. On completion of this unit you should have acquired the skills and knowledge to become an active agent for change in an interconnected and interdependent world. This unit is the second of two units which are part of the University Core Curriculum. Mode: Online Scheduled. Attendance pattern: This unit of study offers: 1x1-hour opening workshop (week 1); 10x1-hour tutorial classes (weeks 2-11 inclusive); 1x1-hour closing workshop (week 12), as well as completing online readings and learning activities on the LEO site. Please refer to your timetable on Allocate+ (ACU’s timetabling system) for specific details of your weekly tutorial class. Your attendance and active participation in the opening/closing workshops and weekly tutorial classes is strongly recommended – please refer to further details below. This unit adopts a “flipped classroom/blended learning” pedagogy and, as such, has no lectures. Duration: You should anticipate undertaking 150 of study for this unit, including class attendance, readings, and assignment preparation. LEARNING OUTCOMES On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to: LO1 Explain how Catholic social thought principles are relevant to human communities, using examples from their course of study. (GA1, GA4, GA5) LO2 Analyse, from a global perspective, some key challenges to the realisation of the common good, and the effects this has on human dignity. (GA2, GA4, GA8) LO3 Apply their understanding of these global challenges to their local or professional community in terms of advocacy and engagement with community organisations. (GA2, GA3, GA4, GA5, GA8) GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES Each unit in your course contributes in some way to the development of the ACU Graduate Attributes which you should demonstrate by the time you complete your course. All Australian universities have their expected graduate attributes – ACU’s Graduate Attributes have a greater emphasis on ethical behaviour and community responsibility than those of many other universities. All of your units will enable you to develop some attributes. On successful completion of this unit, you should have developed your ability to: GA1 demonstrate respect for the dignity of each individual and for human diversity. GA2 recognise your responsibility to the common good, the environment and society. GA3 apply ethical perspectives in informed decision making. GA4 think critically and reflectively. GA5 demonstrate values, knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to the discipline and/or profession. GA8 locate, organise, analyse, synthesise and evaluate information. https://www.studentportal.acu.edu.au/graduation/post-graduation/graduate-attributes https://www.studentportal.acu.edu.au/graduation/post-graduation/graduate-attributes Extended Unit Outline – UNCC300: Justice and Change in a Global World Semester 2, 2023 – Online Scheduled (Version 1: 20 July 2023) Page 3 of 26 CONTENT Topics will include: • Revisiting key concepts from UNCC100, e.g., Human Dignity • Frameworks for Human Dignity • Historical examples where human dignity was absent • Human dignity in contemporary society • Case studies • Defining advocacy • How does one achieve advocacy in a professional context? • Community engagement principles • Models of community engagement • Community engagement - global organisations • Working for change and the common good QUALITY ASSURANCE AND STUDENT FEEDBACK This unit has been evaluated through the ‘Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching’ (SELT) online surveys. Based on the previous student feedback, the following changes have been made since the last offering of this unit: • Division of learning content into weeks rather than modules. • Additional technical instructions for Assessment Task 1. SELT surveys are usually conducted at the end of the teaching period. Your practical and constructive feedback is valuable to improve the quality of the unit. Please ensure you complete the SELT survey for the unit. You can also provide feedback at other times to the unit lecturers, course coordinators and/or through student representatives. LEARNING AND TEACHING STRATEGY AND RATIONALE This unit is delivered in the following modes: • mixed mode over a 10-week period in a normal university semester, with lectures delivered online and tutorials via attendance; or • intensive mixed mode delivered in winter and summer semesters with lectures delivered online and tutorials via attendance; or • synchronous online mode over a normal university semester. • Asynchronous online mode over a 10-week teaching period through ACU Online, where the course is offered via this platform. The use of the LMS is integral to the unit. The approach to learning and teaching is via active learning where students are supported through the provision of learning resources and class activities (ether in physical or virtual classrooms) to take responsibility for their individual learning. Students are expected to participate in the activities provided either in class or online and to be able to extend their learning through working alongside other students and undertaking individual research. Students are supported in their learning through the provision of: • Learning modules • Discussion forums and chat rooms • Guided readings and links to electronic readings Extended Unit Outline – UNCC300: Justice and Change in a Global World Semester 2, 2023 – Online Scheduled (Version 1: 20 July 2023) Page 4 of 26 • Self-assessments and other self-directed learning activities. When offered via ACU Online, this unit uses an active learning approach to support students in the exploration of knowledge essential to the discipline. Students are provided with choice and variety in how they learn. Students are encouraged to contribute to asynchronous weekly discussions. Active learning opportunities provide students with opportunities to practice and apply their learning in situations similar to their future professions. Activities encourage students to bring their own examples to demonstrate understanding, application and engage constructively with their peers. Students receive regular and timely feedback on their learning, which includes information on their progress. LECTURE CAPTURE There are no lectures for this unit. All learning and teaching resources can be found in the five module areas on LEO. KEY UNIT INFORMATION 1. Students will be required to read at least two readings per module (i.e., two readings per fortnight): one reading designated for all students and one reading that connects the module topic to their course of study. We collate the course of study readings under the four ACU faculties: Faculty of Education and Arts (FEA); Faculty of Health Sciences (FHS); Faculty of Law and Business (FLB); and Faculty of Theology and Philosophy (FTP). If you are unsure what faculty you are attached to, please contact your course coordinator or AskACU. Not every reading will have direct application to your own course of study (degree program you are enrolled in at ACU): some readings will be broadly relevant to your faculty, and others will be more specifically relevant to particular disciplines in your faculty. You may also want to draw on research you have come across in other classes that you have already taken in your course of study. You can access the unit readings through Leganto (click on “Reading List” in the LEO site’s “Information and resources” folder/tile). 2. When we use the term “course of study” in this unit, we are referring to the degree program you are enrolled in at ACU, e.g., Bachelor of Primary Education, Bachelor of Exercise and Sports Science, Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Law, Bachelor of Theology, etc. 3. This unit adopts a ‘flipped/blended classroom’ pedagogy. The tutorial classes are largely student-led, not tutor-led. As such, you will be expected to complete the prescribed learning activities (as set out in the ‘Schedule’ in the Extended Unit Outline) prior to each tutorial class. The tutorial classes are specifically set aside for critical discussions, engagement, and other interactive activities and elements. This in turn will lead to a deeper understanding of the key concepts. There are no lectures in this unit. Your active participation is key to your success. 4. Please regularly check the 'Unit announcements from the Lecturer in Charge & lecturer' and the ‘General discussion forum’ on LEO (in the ‘Communication and support’ folder/tile) for updates from the Lecturer in Charge/Lecturer and/or your tutor. If you are enrolled as an online student, you will find your unique Zoom link and other associated details on the ‘General discussion forum’. If you are not successful in locating these details, please email your tutor. Your tutor’s email address can be located in the 'Information and resources' folder/tile on LEO. 5. Whilst there are no formal attendance requirements in this unit, we expect students to attend and actively participate in the opening/closing workshop and all tutorial classes. Statistics tell us that students who actively participate in these learning opportunities have a better chance of succeeding in the unit. If it is not possible for you to attend the scheduled tutorial classes due to a planned clinical placement, salaried work, etc., we strongly encourage you consider https://www.acu.edu.au/about-acu/faculties-directorates-and-staff/faculty-of-education-and-arts https://www.acu.edu.au/about-acu/faculties-directorates-and-staff/faculty-of-health-sciences https://www.acu.edu.au/about-acu/faculties-directorates-and-staff/faculty-of-law-and-business https://www.acu.edu.au/about-acu/faculties-directorates-and-staff/faculty-of-law-and-business https://www.acu.edu.au/about-acu/faculties-directorates-and-staff/faculty-of-theology-and-philosophy https://www.acu.edu.au/contact-us Extended Unit Outline – UNCC300: Justice and Change in a Global World Semester 2, 2023 – Online Scheduled (Version 1: 20 July 2023) Page 5 of 26 withdrawing (prior to census date) and re-enrolling in this unit at another time where your active participation will be possible. For your convenience: this unit is generally offered in Semester 1, Winter Term, Semester 2, and Summer Term. Kindly also note that extension and special consideration applications that list ‘planned clinical placements’ and ‘salaried work’ as the reason when applying, will not be approved. Kindly note that the opening/closing workshops will be recorded, but the tutorial classes are not recorded in this unit, hence the importance of your live attendance. 6. If you are enrolled in the online offering of this unit, it is expected that you actively participate, which includes enabling your webcam and joining the session from an environment that will encourage active learning. Please be mindful of ACU’s Netiquette principles. 7. Across the semester you will predominantly be in contact with your tutor, who will facilitate your tutorial classes, as
