INTRODUCTION TO CURRICULUM MAPPING AND RENEWAL

College Commitment

In its third integrated plan, the College of Arts & Science committed to a process of curriculum renewal:

Individual departments and programs will engage in curricular mapping to identify existing

strengths, weaknesses, concentrations, and gaps, as well as opportunities for innovative,

collaborative, experiential and interdisciplinary courses and programs. In course design, a simple

but transformative shift in emphasis will encourage faculty … to work within the established and

emerging pedagogies of their disciplines to set carefully defined learning outcomes for both

established and new programs and courses. These targets for the acquisition of defined skills as

well as course content will facilitate student, course, and program assessment, and will enable

clearer and more coherent laddering of courses within programs. It will also encourage

interdisciplinary initiatives by identifying curricular connections and synergies that content-based

analysis alone might overlook.

College of Arts & Science Plan for the Third Planning Cycle, 2012-16, p. 11

Stages of Curriculum Renewal

The stages of curriculum renewal are defined as: (1) Set the research and curricular vision and establishing

program goals; (2) Conduct an inventory of current courses and map those courses onto the program goals; (3)

Analyze the “fit” between current curricular offerings and program goals; (4) Identify areas that need revision

and development and implement required changes; (5) Assess the curricular changes; and (6) Revisit the

framing vision.

The Department of Archaeology and Anthropology’s Process

The Department of Archaeology and Anthropology has completed the first two stages of curriculum

renewal and we are approximately half way through the third stage. We began by establishing the

departmental context for our programs by developing a vision statement, mission statement, and statement of

strategy. We then developed a set of learning outcomes that are common to both our Anthropology and

Archaeology undergraduate programs. We followed this by developing a set of program-specific objectives

that align with each overarching program goal. We then mapped our program goals and objectives onto the

learning outcomes of the College as well as those in the University’s Learning Charter. We proceeded with

course alignment, mapping all the courses that have recently been taught onto each program goal and

program-specific objective, calculating the proportion of all courses that meet each goal and objective. Based

on all this, we reviewed our curriculum and outlined a set of curricular revisions that include: (1) Changing

specified prerequisites and course descriptions to better align our courses with our Department’s vision and

mission as well as our overarching program goals; (2) Deleting courses that do not align well with our program

goals; (3) Developing new courses to continue to meet our program goals; and (4) Restructuring our programs

for greater integration and cohesion.

Student Assistants

The following students were supported through departmental funds to assist in this process: David

Bennett, M.A. Candidate (Anthropology); Candice Koblun, M.A. Candidate (Archaeology) ; Karin Steuber, Ph.D.

Candidate (Archaeology).

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY & ANTHROPOLOGY

VISION STATEMENT: Why do we do our work? We envision a world enriched by the knowledge and understanding of the human journey in all its dimensions, including the biological, cultural, material, and political. We believe that this knowledge and understanding should challenge past and present disparities in all forms and lead toward social equality, global partnership, community well-being, and environmental responsibility.

MISSION STATEMENT: How do we do it? We work towards implementing our vision by taking advantage of our unique disciplinary opportunity:

1. To explore commonalities and differences in human experiences throughout time and across communities and environments.

2. To engage interdisciplinarity and create bridges and understanding between disciplines. 3. To produce politically, socially, and culturally responsive knowledge that addresses the

needs and issues of the communities with whom we partner in our work. 4. To steward responsible management of cultural heritage and resources. 5. To create knowledgeable, curious, critical, and concerned students, graduates, teachers,

and researchers of the future.

STATEMENT OF STRATEGY: What do we do to fulfill our mission? In order to fulfill our mission and contribute to bringing our vision to fruition, the Department of Archaeology and Anthropology has two strategic and long-term goals, each with several constituent areas of focus:

COURSE ALIGNMENT WITH PROGRAM GOALS In mapping our existing courses onto our Program Goals, the Department of Archaeology & Anthropology aimed: (1) to include only those courses that are have been recently taught; (2) to align courses with program goals only when those courses met that goal in measurable and significant ways; and (3) to assess the overall proportion of courses that meet each program goal. Initially, we intended to distinguish between those courses that meet each program goal through teaching and those that meet each program goal through evaluation/assessment. However, we found this distinction too artificial and ultimately we mapped courses to program goals on a one-to-one basis. Overall, each specific program goal is met through no fewer than five courses and as many as 24 courses. In interpreting the proportion of courses associated with each program goal, it is important to keep in mind that although we only mapped courses that have been recently taught, we used the total number of Archaeology (n=34) and Anthropology (n=26) courses currently listed in the University of Saskatchewan calendar in order to situate each program goal within the broader curricular context. This will assist us in determining what course additions and deletions we will make in the future. Additionally, some program goals – particularly those involving community engagement and fieldwork practice – have a more limited number of courses associated with them because of the limitations of community and/or laboratory capacity. We will use these results to develop proposals for additional resources.
