Supporting statement for AAS
a) give up to three practical examples of how you intend to use the knowledge, skills and connections you will gain from your scholarship. Possible tasks can be personal and/or professional;
and
b) list any possible constraints you think may prevent you from achieving these tasks.*
Firstly, I will use gained knowledge and skills to create an interdisciplinary learning concept for my institution. XYZ collage of health science is consists of three study programs. Such collage is located in coastal areas which every program study through its curriculum takes a part to overcome health problems in there. Unfortunately, every study program runs their program independently. As a consequence, health problems have not resolved comprehensively. Upon my return, I will discuss the possibility of Inter-professional education (IPE) implementation with curriculum developers in my institution. By using knowledge and skills, I will propose an interdisciplinary learning concept to them.
Secondly, as a curriculum specialist I will conduct a research related to IPE. I will focus on how interdisciplinary learning give advantages for students and health problem in Indonesia. In order to promote IPE, I will publish the expected result of some researches in high-quality international journal. However, attracting an editors' attention is quiet hard for scientist from non-English speaking (NES) countries like Indonesia. Some of NES author claimed that write manuscript in English is not easy task for them especially for author with poor and reasonable writing skills. Having study in world class University like Monash University will increase my writing competence through some assessments like written assignment, practicum reflective report, and portfolio.
Lastly, Become International student in this programme with multi cultural students will help me to expand my work in many ways. It will broaden my horizon by discussing recent trend of inter professional education from other countries. Nevertheless, it can be deny that funding will certainly become the challenge to implement IPE program in my institution. The other constraint is lack of enthusiasm toward this program.
