Opis
Streszczenie:Professional development programs and activities to enhance teaching and learning have been taking place for more than 50 years in some higher education institutions. However, whether these programs and less formal development activities have had an impact on enhancing teaching understanding, teaching practice, student satisfaction, student learning and/or the institutional climate that rewards and recognises teaching has received less attention. This is the final report from a project that identified the range, type and frequency of professional development programs offered by Australian institutions, building on previous ALTC projects and other research. By applying a theoretical and evidence-based model, the project: (1) used this data to identify indicators and measures of effectiveness and impact, (2) developed an evaluation framework that can be applied across a range of professional development activities that take place in higher education, and (3) trailed these in different university contexts to test their veracity.
