In this subject, you will further develop your reflective practice skills, by exploring your own values and beliefs, and critiquing speech pathology practices when working with linguistically and culturally diverse populations, with a focus on Indigenous Australian people, languages and culture. You will extend your cultural competence and explore the importance of cultural safety when engaging with individuals, families and communities.
In this subject you will participate in a range of online learning experiences with academic staff from the speech pathology program and the School of Indigenous Australian Studies. You will have the opportunity to share your ideas and knowledge and learn from others in interactive activities including completing structured discussion threads/topics and independent study.
To demonstrate mastery of these learning outcomes and learning experiences you will develop and maintain a reflective blog that demonstrates the development of your cultural competence through reflection on your own attitudes and values as well as those of the speech pathology profession. Based on your knowledge of cultural and linguistic diversity, you will critique speech pathology assessment materials and practices, and prepare a professional position statement. You will also engage in a group-based case study which is created to simulate a workplace learning context, and based on this experience develop a professional position statement for culturally safe speech pathology practice.
You will use the CSU Learning Management System, Interact2, an e-portfolio tool (Pebblepad), and other online and audio-visual technologies to engage in learning activities with your peers and to complete assessment tasks.
