Creating an environment which fosters pedagogic research informed decision making on quality matters

Presented by: Dr Paul Chin - Head of Learning and Teaching, Centre for Learning and Teaching, University of Bath ; Dan Connolly - Teaching and Learning Coach, Barnsley College ; Dr Katherine Lupton - Lead for International Academic Partnerships, Leeds Trinity University

Institutions across higher education often grapple with challenges of tackling quality issues that are informed by the literature and exemplars of good practice. In FE, there is often little capacity for pedagogic work and in HE, academics and professional staff often do not have the space to focus on it. In this session our speakers will discuss the findings of this Collaborative Enhancement Project. The team developed a Pedagogic Research Model (PedR) – a ‘how to’ guide on developing, promoting and celebrating pedagogic research activities - to unpick the challenges around quality issues, and created this model approach which both higher education (HE) and further education (FE) can adapt to promote a culture of a scholarly informed approach to their own institutional decision-making processes.
