Constructive alignment in Pacific tertiary education: building the waka with nails
Journal Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUBurnett, Greg
Abstract
Constructive alignment as a way of framing curriculum has wide appeal in many tertiary education contexts. At one Pacific regional tertiary institution, it has recently been embraced as a means toward greater program quality. Its unquestioned acceptance, however, raises the need for critical reflection. This reflection critiques constructive alignment from a number of perspectives, including its resistance to complex educational realities and its technical rationality in the face of organic aspects of a decolonised Pacific education.
