RESEARCH OFFICE REPORTIndonesian Radio and the Renewal of CitizenshipDr Edwin Jurriens from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) recently presented the following paper at the 4th international symposium organized by the Journal Antropologi Indonesia ( University of Indonesia , Jakarta ). T he symposium " Indonesia in the Changing Global Context: Building Cooperation and Partnership?” was held in Jakarta from 12-15 July. At the symposium, Dr Jurriens also coordinated a panel with the theme “ Cosmopatriots: Globalization, Patriotism, Cosmopolitanism in Indonesia and Comparative Asian Perspective”. Abstract: Indonesian Radio and the Renewal of Citizenship During the late New Order and Reformasi, the Indonesian mediascape has known the development or further development of journalism concepts and practices such as interactivity, multisided journalism and self-reflexivity. These concepts and practices all stimulate the media awareness of the audience and their active involvement in media/news production. Simultaneously, they confirm the viewers/listeners in their role as involved and critical citizens, thereby replacing Soeharto's official New Order model of the media as a propaganda tool, and the media audience as a silent and obedient mass. Radio, in accordance with its technical capabilities and cultural uses, has provided specific regional, national and international dimensions to this type of citizenship. Partly inspired and supported by Reformasi's call for regional autonomy, radio has strengthened the tendency of listener-citizens to express patriotic feelings in regional rather than national terms. Secondly, new laws and phone, Internet and satellite technology have brought into being nationwide communication networks with concomitant ideas and concepts of the nation. Thirdly, late-New Order and Reformasi radio citizenship also has an international and cosmopolitan dimension, caused by the fact that many journalism, production and broadcasting concepts have been inspired by the programs and training courses of international broadcast organizations. By means of their on-and off-the-air activities, Indonesian radio stations consciously make the audience aware of one or more of these dimensions of their listener-citizenship in the ages of globalization and reform. In my paper I will discuss several of these on-and off-the-air activities, thereby paying attention to the preoccupation with journalism concepts and state-of-the-art technology of the ‘media elite' as well as the ideas and practices with regard to media developments and citizenship of the listener-participants. …. and those Faculty SeminarsBoth Faculty Seminars held this year have generated substantial interest and demonstrated the diverse range of research conducted at UNSW@ADFA. In June we heard Associate Professor Prior elaborate on the ‘flanning' prevalent in the writing of History and in July Dr Ra Inta presented the results of his work testing the sound quality of stringed instruments. (While the word ‘sartorial' does not usually come to mind when describing Ra, we must admit to some interest in his tie….just where does one obtain a tie made from a fret board? And more relevant, who on earth (besides Ra) would ever wear one….??)

Teaching and Learning Committee WorkshopsDo you want to transform the way your students learn and change the culture of plagiarism? WORKSHOP 1: Assessment for Learning Thursday 18 August 1:00 to 4.30 pm (coffee/tea break included) IS Studio (CS154) , Level 1, Building 15, School of ITEE . “For most students, assessment requirements literally define the curriculum. Assessment is a potent strategic tool for educators with which to spell out the learning that will be rewarded and to guide students into effective approaches to study.” How can creative, targeted assessments -- and the feedback that goes with them -- contribute to our students' learning? How can we devise assessments that are not just a measure of what students have already learnt, but are trans/formative? The workshop will investigate ways to 'align' assessment with our teaching and learning objectives. Are we really assessing the process of student learning we want to encourage? Facilitators: Peter Looker (UNSW Learning and Teaching Unit) Linda Bowman (UNSW@ADFA) WORKSHOP 2: Assessment and Plagiarism Friday 19 August 9:00 to 12:00pm Lunch (provided) & Plenary Session 12.00- 12.40 pm Seminar Room (CS152) , Level 1, Building 15, School of ITEE This workshop includes an exploration of student plagiarism; establishing assessment criteria; and self and peer assessment. We will reflect on student plagiarism, look at case studies and discuss ways to minimize it with creative assessment techniques. We will c ons ider the potential for incorporating self and peer review into assessment strategies and design criteria for an assessment task. How effective are the plagiarism-busting systems? Facilitators: Clare Netherton (UNSW Learning and Teaching Unit) James Warn and Michael Frater (UNSW@ADFA) To register for the workshop, contact Anne Green ( a.green@adfa.edu.au or 02 6268 6189) by 12 August 2005.
