Bowral project 3: A curriculum map
Project description
The proposed map comprises a conceptual framework for the
development of cultural competence and a web-based ‘matrix’
and resources that sets out a Sydney University Cultural
Competence student learning pathway encompassing a degree
level curriculum design from first year to graduation.
The matrix is general in nature but interactive and dynamic hence
capable of being designed to fit within a particular degree
structure.

wide engagement and application of materials.

Professional development approaches
1. Reflect upon our professional practices (Boud & Hager, 2012);
2. Understand why they see the world as they do while exploring
the impact of their prior knowledge on newly constructed
knowledge(s);
3. Cultivate a relational and cultural disposition, as an
adaptation of Bourdieu’s concept of habitus;
4. Foster a community of practice to strengthen skills as educators
around deep listening, storytelling and a shared
understanding of what binds people together (Lave &
Wanger, 1991);
5. Support their ongoing, reciprocal, respectful relationships.
