An Indigenous Knowledge Mobilization Packsack: Utilizing Indigenous Learning Outcomes to Promote and Assess Critical Thinking and Global Citizenship

The report An Indigenous Knowledge Mobilization Packsack: Utilizing Indigenous Learning Outcomes to Promote and Assess Critical Thinking and Global Citizenship from the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) examines the difficulties and insights gained from incorporating Indigenous learning outcomes into a wide range of postsecondary courses and programs, beyond those focused specifically on Indigenous studies. 

The report highlights a project at Confederation College that serves as a valuable resource for other institutions aiming to implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 2015 Calls to Action. It offers a way to assess critical thinking informed by Indigenous Ways of Knowing and addresses the needs of faculty engaged in this crucial work. The report also shares lessons learned in developing an assessment tool that aligns with both Indigenous and Western perspectives on critical thinking.
