Generate Solutions to Sustainability Problems |
Skillful and proficient The solution is robust and carefully considers the context, impacts and relationships with other systems. |
Proficient and effective The solutions presented are well considered and clearly link to solvable aspects of the broader problem. The solution considers the complexity of the broader context (cultural, environmental, economic, social). |
Effective and coherent Aspects of the problem that can be addressed are explained and connected to feasible areas of action. Solution is credible. |
Clear and coherent Problem is clearly described. Obvious aspects of the problem that can be addressed are noted. |
Unclear and vague |
Evaluate outcomes/impacts (use of framework or method) |
Skillful and insightful The evaluation of impact using the chosen framework has enabled clear, concise, and accurate linkages across the data. The findings demonstrate a keen understanding of sustainability. |
Effective and discerning Use of the framework has allowed for new understandings and relationships to emerge. The framework was used to illicit a clear evaluation of outcomes/impacts. |
Effective and coherent Effective use of the framework is evident. Language, relationships between elements, and sequencing of data are all clear. Impacts are listed. |
Competent and relevant An appropriate evaluation framework has been chosen and described. Aspects of the problem have been identified and categorised within the noted framework. |
Basic |
Justify solutions/approaches/ methods |
Comprehensive and insightful The justification for the solution is clearly supported and exceeds the DN category in extensiveness, clarity and concise logic and reasoning. |
Thoroughly explains The solution is backed by substantial and conclusive evidence. It is logical, clear and precipitates from extensive research. |
Effectively explains The description of the justification includes a clear rationale, linked to research or data that is relevant, is feasible. |
Logical and clear The justifications for approach logically flow and are easily followed. The solution meets the problem and the choice is clear. |
Narrow explanation |
Examine issue/ field and/or discipline |
Systematic and skillful Contributes and raises consequential factors/issues. Creates a comprehensive examination of the topic. Presents a critical understanding of the issue. |
Thorough and effective Identifies core and less explored issues recognising connections and disconnections within the field/discipline. |
Effective Identifies core issues/theories/aspects to present a knowledgeable understanding of the issue/field/discipline. |
Competent Identifies contributing and consequential factors to the issue/field. Clearly describes using appropriate language and terms. |
Basic |
Reflexivity Cultural humility |
Reflects Aspiring to develop partnerships, reconcile power imbalances and seek improvement through the wisdom of others. Recognise the value of diversity. |
Transforms Demonstrates humility through boldly critiquing self and noting what you do not know – and demonstrating a willingness to learn. |
Explores Explains how views are constructed from personal values and experiences and recognises the values, experiences and ideas of others. |
Connects context Recognises attributes of self that would impact how you view others. Identifies views of self and others that may not be universal. |
