How do academics extend their knowledge to the benefit of external social partners? Genevieve Haupt, Glenda Kruss and Mariette Visser NRF Mini-Conference December 2012 NRF Mini-Conference December 2012

Social science that makes a difference Introduction: mapping patterns in diverse universities Community engagement promoted in national policy alongside teaching and learning  Conceptual confusion, debate and contestation within and between universities  framework and empirical basis to understand the complexity and diversity of current ‘engaged’ academic practice  mapping ‘community engagement’, drawing on an empirical analysis of patterns of interaction in five universities representing distinct institutional types, through an integrated analysis of survey of individual academic practice, and case study data of institutional facilitation

Social science that makes a difference Scholarship for direct benefit of external audiences ENGAGED/ RESPONSIVE  Teaching  Service  Research (adapted from Michigan State Univ ) Not ENGAGED/ Not RESPONSIVE  Teaching  Service  Research

Social science that makes a difference “How do you extend your academic scholarship to the benefit of external social partners?” Social partners Types of relationship Channels of interaction Outputs Outcomes and benefits Challenges and constraints Those who do not interact – why not? (adaptation of RoKS survey of firms and universities) Survey of academics in 5 distinct types of university

Social science that makes a difference Methodology: complexity and variety of patterns?  Main types of institutions: 2 research, 1 comprehensive, 1 U of Technology and 1 rural university  CATI tool: short telephonic interviews yielded 62% return  Analysis of large sample :  Frequency: weighted average  Principal component analysis - identify patterns of partners, relationships, channels and outcomes  correlation to identify coexisting patterns of partners with types of relationship and channels of interaction  Qualititative investigation of conceptualisations of engagement, policy, structures and mechanisms to promote interaction: interviews with institutional leaders and managers, analysis of institutional documents /data

Social science that makes a difference

Mapping the landscape 1.Awareness of and commitment to engagement 2.Conceptual confusion and contestation 3.Absence of concept of engaged scholarship: core academic activities reported as engaged activities 4.Engagement oriented to teaching and learning or to outreach and service 5.Very little activity oriented to innovation and technology 6.Prevalence of academic partners but absence of networks reflects weak knowledge flows across HE 7.Pattern in each university complex and messy, diverse knowledge fields, cannot be easily and neatly described 8.Clear institutional differences, associated with strategic challenges and intersecting with historical trajectories

Social science that makes a difference Institutional patterns Characterised by strongest trend of more active and frequent engagement: 1)A community service, teaching-oriented pattern (research university 1) 2)A socially responsive, research and teaching oriented pattern (research university 2) 3) A teaching-oriented community engagement with a research-oriented firm engagement pattern (comprehensive university) 4) A development-oriented service pattern (Rural university) 5)A firm and user teaching- and research-oriented pattern (university of technology)
