Developing the Curriculum within an Institution Using a Change Academy Approach: A Process Focus
Turner, Nancy K.; Healey, Mick; Bens, Susan
International Journal for Academic Development, v26 n2 p150-162 2021
Institutional approaches to curriculum development often privilege outcome over process. This paper explores the use of an adapted Change Academy approach, originally developed for teams from different institutions, to supporting teams from different disciplines within the same institution. The approach was evaluated through analysis of the experience of members of four teams, with data collected through a survey, focus groups, and the reflections of facilitators. We argue that educational developers supporting curriculum development should pay as much attention to the process as the outcome, and that a well-designed Change Academy approach can be effective in implementing curriculum change across an institution.
