Abstract
This paper will discuss a Distributed Facilitator Framework (DFF) that was created to visualise the reflective practice processes that were utilised to develop educators Teaching International Students (TIS) partnerships. The DFF is non-hierarchical, non-judgmental, authentic, generative, interconnected and inclusive Career Development Learning (CDL) Model. It aims to promote transformative practice with the outcome of producing authentic artefacts to inform TIS. The processes used in educator interactions and knowledge exchange are visualised in the DFF to capture the nuances of moving from the generalised to the specific TIS transformative CDL model. An Action Practitioner Research (APR) methodology over a one-year cycle was utilised to capture design educators’ CDL, which is visually mapped in a flexible, adaptive, practice-based scaffold architecture. How the DFF was created to visually capture an interconnected series of processes and events utilising the Kemmis and Heikkinen, (2011) characteristics of ‘sayings, doings and relatings’ to develop a creative ‘Ecology of Practice’ will be explained. The DFF is underpinned by the theoretical premise of Kruger’s (2013) Iceberg Model for surface and deep culture; the Australian Government International Education Strategy 2025 and Leask and Carroll (2013) ‘Good Practice Principles: Teaching across Cultures’. The DFF provides a reflective practice visualisation that is in the service of providing transformative professional learning, which is transferable to other educational settings and disciplinary contexts. The ultimate objectives of the Ecologies of Practice DFF include engaging in meaningful international educational development and empowering educators to self-direct their own CDL after the TIS scaffold architecture is removed.
