Global citizenship and speech pathology: A journey to capabilities
12:10 PM - 12:25 PMPresentation summary
The Speech Pathology workforce is dis-proportionally more white than the communities we serve. A diverse representation among providers is one of the factors crucial to delivery of best and equitable treatment outcomes.
Objectives:
Diversifying the workforce is an isolated solution; instead ensuring the capabilities of global citizenship are trained, evaluated and nurtured as part of professional self-regulation is the responsibility of speech pathologists as well as those who educate them.
Method:
This research, used a mixed methods to evaluate whether providing tertiary students with clinical experiences in low to middle income (LAMI) countries, assisted in establishing ‘global citizenship’ capabilities. Initial participants were students from a mobility experience to a LAMI country, after the open coding a scoping review generated themes that formed a code book to analyse the next study about students from a mobility experience to a LAMI country and a qualitative grounded theory approach was used to develop and analyse themes. After this second study further themes were added based on Hyter et al.’s (2017) global competencies model, as were individuals who had worked in LAMI countries from Australia. Then nurses and midwifes were added to consider the impact on employability. This process involved inductive and deductive thinking to analyse each of the categories. Then the final study extended t through a Delphi determined the opportunities for optimal learning in a students “zone” of complexity.
Results
Global citizenship capabilities named as the FIVESE for the hand that cares are; Felt responsibility, Intergroup helping, Valuing diversity, Empathy, Social Justice and Environmental Sustainability.
The learning experiences from unconscious incompetence, to unconscious capability in the zone of complexity will be defined.
Discussion and Conclusion
Global citizens are culturally aware, open to diversity and continuous learning. Present research applies global citizenship to identity, psychological, sociological and educational perspectives,
Key messages
Global Citizenship capabilities are vital
Speech Pathologists can learn to apply their skills cross culturally
