Available to Graduate Certificate of Education (Tertiary Teaching), Postgraduate Certificate of Education and other Masters students.
This subject will extend ED5300 and ED5301 by deepening an understanding of cycles of critical reflection through peer observation, action research and action learning. It positions tertiary teachers as learners and researchers with the intention of improving student learning, including the context of research supervision. The relationship between discipline-specific and generic research on tertiary teaching will be explored. Participants will be encouraged to build 'communities of learners' grounded in the scholarship of tertiary teaching.
Learning Outcomes
- develop, analyse and evaluate practices to gather information, reflect on and reconstruct teaching within teaching and/or supervisor contexts;
- examine teaching and student learning by evaluating ways in which both disciplinary research and research on teaching can align to enhance teaching and student learning.
Graduate Qualities
- The ability to adapt knowledge to new situations;
- The ability to define and to solve problems in at least one discipline area;
- The ability to think critically, to analyse and evaluate claims, evidence and arguments, and to reason and deploy evidence clearly and logically;
- The ability to deploy critically evaluated information to practical ends.
