| 要約: | Final report from a project that shone the spotlight on the capabilities required of subject/unit co-ordinators in higher education. The project aimed to (1) examine and document the complexities of the subject co-ordinator leadership role; (2) develop a desired profile for the role; (3) design and evaluate a selection of multi-faceted, integrated professional development program interventions; and (4) disseminate results by aggregating the programs into a resource kit. A multi-institutional, mixed methods action learning approach was adopted. The research design incorporated triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods to confirm information and thus increase credibility of the obtained information. It was also used to obtain a more complete understanding of the broad area of unit coordination by revealing different aspects of the participant's responses as well as providing an in depth explanation of the different aspects of the unit coordination. The research consisted of seven stages, each level providing more detail and specificity moving from the macro to the micro level of inquiry. Stage 1 included a literature review and semi-structured interviews with formal teaching and learning leaders; stages 2 and 3 involved the development and implementation of a survey to identify the complexities of the subject co-ordinator role; and the final stages focussed on the development, trial and evaluation of professional development intervention(s). |
