Developing innovation in Teaching and Learning

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Developing innovation in Teaching and Learning A very introductory presentation by Dr Peter Hill Learning and Teaching Unit University of South Australia

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Developing innovation in Teaching and Learning The context of the 21 st Century University Massification Globalisation Quality Improvement and an outcomes oriented environment New technologies and information systems Employability Performative (Prescriptive) Social changes Diversity of student body and entrance pathways Fragmentation of the traditional disciplines “ Teachers are implementers of policy reforms and initiatives determined beyond the classroom ”

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Our response? If we care about the intellectual role and future of the university, as about student learning, then our response will not be resignation but a creative approach: To solving the problems we can To seeking new perspectives And daring to take some risks

LTU corporate web editing and publishing What’s in a word? Dictionary:Etymology To make To bring in something new To make changes to anything established Innovatus ‘renewed’ ‘altered’ Cf Renovate “To innovate is not to reform” (Encarta)

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Innovation in Teaching and Learning Andrew Fraser (ACEL 2007): “The successful exploitation of new ideas” Denise Leite*: “Innovation happens when teachers break with the traditional approach to teaching, when they break with the paradigm of reproduction…” Einstein: “Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure.”

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Innovation in Teaching and Learning Hannan & Silver: “Innovation is essentially about changing things and the departure from the old ways may be considerable, whereas enhancement often implies a gradual process building on what already exists.” Denise Leite: “It can be a transition, a search for new configurations of knowledge and power, new ways of relating being, knowing and doing…”

Two generations of innovation 1 st Generation: An entirely new idea (is that possible?) 2 nd Generation: The re-working or enhancement of an idea or the transfer of an idea/product to a new context. “Innovation is understood as either a ‘first’ or ‘second’ generation concept, and refers to an idea, product, process or service that adds value, is useful or transforms current practice in the context to which it is applied. ‘First- generation innovators’ are those who do or create something new or different. ‘Second-generation innovators’ are those who take an innovation from one context and replicate, adapt or transform it for use within a new context” (Definitions, UniSA Learning and Teaching Grants)

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Reasons most cited for introducing new methods of Teaching and Learning Hannan & Silver (2002) note:  The need felt by academics to improve student learning  Changes in the student intake  The demands of external agencies  The need to cope with curriculum change or other reorganisation

LTU corporate web editing and publishing What encourages academics to innovate? Hannan & Silver (2002) note that innovation occurs when:  the innovator feels a degree of security within an understood community or cultural context, recognises the need for change and has encouragement or support from the head of department, dean or other person in authority;  the institution has a policy establishing parity between research and teaching and learning, including for the purpose of promotion, and the policy is reflected in practice;  colleagues and people in authority show an interest in disseminating the outcomes of innovation;  resources are available through the department, an innovations fund or similar fund, and an educational development or learning support unit.

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Context Successful innovators understand the context in which they work. “ People need to engage with their specific context. When that happens, something new emerges... New ideas are important because they stimulate you. But not everyone is going to do the same thing. Innovation takes place in the context of a project. So the most important thing when it comes to innovation is engagement with a particular context (of the institution, the teacher and the student)”. (Denise Leite)

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Contextual issues Institutional history Structures & culture Disciplines Industry and professional considerations Time Students

Challenges “If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.” (Woody Allen) Innovation means taking risks, and often overcoming obstacles, such as: The subordination of T&L to research Lack of recognition and interest by colleagues and people in authority Cultures that preclude individual initiative or discourage risk taking Silo mentality (leads to the ‘lone ranger’ approach) Excessively bureaucratic procedures for approval, support and resources

A little exercise Looking at the handout What challenges do you recognise? What innovative solutions have you adopted?

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Innovation requires evaluation Evaluation must occur if a given innovation is to be accepted, promoted and sustained. Our approach to evidence-based practice must be as critical and as rigorous as that applied in researc h What is the practice/approach? How does it fit into a particular context? What planning and conditions are needed for it to work? What are the results in terms of student learning? What is the impact on approaches to teaching?

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Innovation requires dissemination if it is to be sustained “Dissemination involves more than the distribution of information or making it available in some way. Dissemination also implies that some action has been taken to embed and upscale the project outcomes within the immediate context (e.g. the discipline, School or University), and/or to replicate or transform and embed an innovation in a new context.” (Definitions, UniSA Learning and Teaching Grants)

LTU corporate web editing and publishing Hannan & Silver: “ There was a problem with sustaining innovations. Even a successful scheme could be shelved once other departmental or institutional priorities asserted themselves” Hence:  Embed practices - Information not enough  Know context & stakeholders  Have a communication strategy  Pro-actively engage stakeholders throughout the implementation period  Keep clear, measurable outcomes to the fore
