| סיכום: | Final report of a Teaching Fellowship at Monash University. This fellowship program extends an initial fellowship program that introduced a Peer Assisted Teaching Scheme (PATS), initially to improve student evaluations in the ICT discipline at one Australian institution. The program was then trialled across different disciplines in the same institution. The purpose of the National Senior Teaching Fellowship was to trial PATS across a variety of Australian institutions aimed at improving teaching quality. PATS is a form of professional development that is aimed at enhancing unit quality. It provides a structured framework for academics to reinvigorate their units. The scheme is organised around collegial engagement, guidance and mentoring in an informal yet structured process where partners are required to complete set tasks before, during and after a teaching semester. PATS builds on the current research that highlights the benefits of peer-assisted learning (PAL) programs and draws on Vygotsky's sociocultural theory and Lave's situated learning but applies it to academic teaching staff. |
