Pedagogia: The evidence base for research-led teaching and learning Teaching and Quality Enhancement Fund Project in ESSL Paul Armstrong and Helen Bradbury School of Education
The survey and the background to Pedagogia • Interpreting the strategic priority: what do we understand by research-led? • How do we do it? • The findings of the TQEF project • Identifying sources of support – inside and outside the University • Teacher or researcher? Identity issues
Please complete the (green) Evidence-based Pedagogy survey form When finished, ask your neighbours if there was anything that surprised them about the survey?

2. Interpreting the strategic priority: what do we understand by research-led? Small Group discussions:
3. How do we do research-led teaching and learning? Small Group discussions:
The findings of the TQEF Project Survey n=38 • Subject-based research and conferences • Seven (20%) respondents are University Teaching Fellows • Eight (23%) respondents are members of the Higher Education Academy (but five reported never having heard of it) • Limited engagement with CETLs
Identifying sources of support – inside and outside the University Inside: SDDU (including University Teaching Fellowships) Learning and Teaching Conferences Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs): ALPS; Inter-Disciplinary Ethics Applied (IDEA); Active Learning in Computing (ALiC); LearnHigher; White Rose University Consortium (WRCETL) Outside: Higher Education Academy; Subject Specialism Centres such as ESCALATE
The Dialogue: 23 September 2008 • Research-led is not the same as evidence-based • Teaching and research are not two distinct activities, yet in many ways have strong demarcation in the Faculty • Impact of demarcation on academic identities: subject specialism versus teaching professional
Final whole group discussion: Does strong demarcation between teaching and research create identity issues for academics? Would the recognition of teaching and research as the embodiment of academic identity improve pedagogical practice?
