Emma Dore; Adair Richards – International Journal for Academic Development, 2024
How can academic developers support Early Career Academics (ECAs) to increase in confidence as they step into their new responsibilities? Previous work has demonstrated the negative impacts of ECAs' low self-efficacy, focusing recommendations on the need for systemic changes. Going further than previous academic development work to apply social…

This study explores the experiences of international staff in Egypt and Trinidad who undertook a UK-based teaching development course provided by the London University who were validating and franchising the offshore courses they taught. Such transnational education (TNE) is a significant but under-researched area of Higher Education and…

This paper uses insider research within a Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) framework to examine the lived induction-to-teaching experiences of twelve new academics at a case-study Northern UK university. A CHAT lens foregrounds contradictions as a source for change in the induction-to-teaching process. Data generated through…

Cathcart, Abby; Dransfield, Mark; Floyd, Sarah; Campbell, Laurie-Anne; Carkett, Rachael; Davies, Vicky; Duhs, Ros; Smart, Fiona – International Journal for Academic Development, 2023
Global membership of the HEA fellowship scheme is increasing. Despite the focus by academic developers on supporting staff to achieve fellowship, there is limited research that examines whether it improves teaching and the learning experience. Our detailed survey of educators in the UK and Australia indicates perceptions of impact on individuals,…

This reflection centres on how existing tensions in academic development work were magnified and challenged as competing imperatives sought to (re)define the roles of academic developers at a UK university during the pandemic in 2020. In a situation of heightened anxiety amongst all stakeholders, issues relating to professional agency, expertise,…

Over the past two years, four research-intensive universities in the UK have appointed senior academic leaders from academic development backgrounds, a new phenomenon in this sector of UK higher education that may suggest a changing pattern. This study interviewed these four leaders to explore what the appointment means for their academic…

Matthews, Lynnette; Dobbins, Kerry – International Journal for Academic Development, 2021
This study investigates the perceived benefits to academics who assess HEA Fellowship applications in one institution. Results show that the assessors experience similar benefits from engaging with the continuing professional development (CPD) scheme as those reported by applicants. The data also indicate that the scheme nurtures a…

McComb, Vivien; Eather, Narelle; Imig, Scott – International Journal for Academic Development, 2021
There has been extensive research conducted into the plight of casual academic staff, the precarious nature of their work, their limited academic development opportunities, and their heightened risk of being positioned on the periphery of the workforce in academia. Institutions have attempted to mitigate this risk through the provision of academic…

In this paper, I use an autoethnographic approach to explore my everyday experiences as an early career lecturer at a UK-based university. I uncover some of my underlying experiences of imposter syndrome, presenting the ways it manifests in my teaching activities. This paper recommends areas in which higher education institutions can offer support…

Felten, Peter; Abbot, Sophia; Kirkwood, Jordan; Long, Aaron; Lubicz-Nawrocka, Tanya; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Verwoord, Roselynn – International Journal for Academic Development, 2019
As calls for student-staff partnership proliferate across higher education, academic development must re-examine and reimagine its relationship to students. Students generally occupy roles with limited agency in academic development. We argue that this needs to change. We propose re-articulating the purpose of academic development toward the…
