Development of the UCC Graduate Attributes and Values Compass (GAP Compass)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedings › Conference proceeding

Abstract

The purpose of the Graduate Attributes Programme is to deliver a
suite of Transition modules to enable a successful student journey and to prepare students for their
future. Transition Through initiatives provide targeted supports, deliver skills training and develop
graduate attributes and values that go beyond disciplinary content knowledge and can be applied in
life-wide contexts. The GAP Compass self-assessment and suite of learning experiences is the flagship
initiative and supports a successful student transition through UCC. The values identified for inclusion
in the GAP include: Respect; Ambition; Compassion; Resilience; Integrity. The attributes selected were:
Creators, Evaluators, and Communicators of Knowledge; Independent and Creative Thinkers; Digitally
Fluent ; Socially Responsible ; and Effective Global Citizens who Recognise and Challenge Inequality.
Our goal is to foster the development of these crucial characteristics during our students’ time with us.
This goal requires a valid and reliable means of assessing each value and attribute.
