| Abstract |
|
Educational development is now well-established in UK higher education institutions. The responsibility for advancing educational development goals is normally placed with a unit (Educational Development Unit (EDU)), which goes under a variety of titles, such as the Centre for Teaching and Learning, or Academic Practice, or Quality Enhancement. In a minority of institutions the educational development function is distributed among individuals with a teaching and learning responsibility. There is broad agreement that the role of EDUs has two major strands: (1) the professional development of staff relating to learning and teaching and other academic duties, and (2) a shared strategic responsibility for implementation of the learning, teaching and assessment strategy, encouragement of innovation, and enhancing teaching quality. Some units have a significant e-learning responsibility. The promotion of scholarship of teaching and learning and fostering links between teaching and research are now well-established as priority roles for EDUs. 72.5% of EDUs now see undertaking or contributing to pedagogic research as part of their function and 67.5% see their role as sponsoring research into teaching and learning. Most, but not all, units are responsible for the accredited initial professional development course, participation in which is now normally a requirement for new teaching staff.(...)
