1 TLOs, the AQF and the Application of Standards in Theology
2 Background 2010: Council of Deans of Theology (CDTh) and the Australian and New Zealand Association of Theological Schools (ANZATS) began the process of developing Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs) for a Bachelor of Theology 75% of the EFTSL in theology participated in this project 1 minimum standards for a student to graduate with a Bachelor of Theology 2 March 2011: CDTh and ANZATS approved a set of TLOs This paper is the first stage in a CDTh subcommittee revising and updating the Theology TLOs Approach: Examine the language in the Theology TLOs seeking higher order language Compare briefly to an earlier draft of the Theology TLOs Compare to the AQF Level 7 Type Descriptors Assess the use of the Theology TLOs by Theology HEPs
3 The 2011 Theology Threshold Learning Outcomes * Upon completion of a Bachelor s degree in Theology, a graduate will be able to: demonstrate an ability to engage in the study of the primary texts of the Christian faith, and describe a range of historical and contemporary reflection on those texts; demonstrate an ability to engage in the detailed study, and principled interpretation, of the primary texts of the Christian faith, and critically interact with a range of historical and contemporary reflection on those texts... demonstrate knowledge of the Christian tradition in one or more of its central and varied forms;... appreciating the different traditions and contexts in which these reflections are situated; demonstrate an awareness of key themes, debates and methods of the discipline of theology and its sub-disciplines; demonstrate an understanding of theology as a coherent academic discipline, including familiarity with its concepts, history and principal sub-disciplines, acknowledging the diversity of viewpoints that characterise scholarship in the discipline as a whole and in relation to other worldviews; demonstrate a range of study skills that will support a life of continued theological learning; show evidence of the development of the creative, critical and reflective thinking and basic research skills that will support a life of continued theological learning; attend to, reproduce accurately and critically reflect upon the ideas and arguments of others; critically engage their context - personal, church and in diverse community settings - in the light of their understanding of theology... communicate theological knowledge, ideas and arguments to specialist and non-specialist audiences using appropriately selected written, oral and visual means;... and be able to communicate theological ideas, principles and knowledge to specialist and non-specialist audiences using a variety of means... reflect upon and communicate the implications of the Christian faith for personal and communal life to specialist and non-specialist audiences, using appropriately selected written, oral and visual means that will have particular regard for the realities of Australian experiences. 4 * Note: the July 2010 version are included for reference in italics

7 Starting Point Dr Les Ball, at the conclusion of the Transforming Theology Project, commented: The key concept in transforming... theological education is that of the student as the centre of the educational process... we need to develop strategies to develop persons not just knowledge/skills, with a consequent change in emphasis from how I can teach to how can students learn. He continues: I am convinced that as theological educators we need to review and even transform the way we see our students and their relation to our world of sacred theology. My plea is for an integrating educative experience for our students. Their life s journey does not start or finish with their theology degree; rather, their theology degree is allowed to form a part of their continuing journey. If we can connect our theological teaching coherently and meaningfully with the actual lives of our students in all the fullness of those lives then our world of theology will be infused into their lives so it may be a formative part of their overall journey, wherever that may be leading. 6

11 Final thoughts 1. The 2011 Theology Threshold Learning Outcomes do not meet the 2013 AQF Level 7 descriptors; 2. The student should be the centre, or starting point, of the TLOs they are about what the student should be able to exhibit when they graduate; 3. TLOs should embed and meet the regulatory standards; 4. As Brawley et al suggest: Even if the TLOs represent... teaching practice well, it is impossible to retrofit these standards onto currently existing courses and majors. 7 Theology HEPs need to address the design of the theological curriculum from the ground up, that is, the TLOs are embedded in the curriculum through: appropriate development of knowledge and skills relevant assessments marking and grading criteria subject or unit learning outcomes, and degree aims and objectives. 5. Finally, the process is itself one of transformation, that is, of the faculties this time, not the students, into a more student centred curriculum.
