Practice, Praxis, Place: Locating educational development in the scholarship of learning and teaching Keith Smyth Professor of Pedagogy University of the Highlands and Islands

Broad themes to explore What is the scholarship of educational development? Where is the scholarship of educational development? How do we evidence impact of educational development? Emerging dimensions in our digital practice educational development as activism So who is the educational developer?

Two framing propositions If HE is a public good, then educational development must offer a collective means to challenge practice in our institutions and the sector Educational development is under increased scrutiny within our institutions, and we need to diversify as well as evidence our practices

Scholarship of learning and teaching Scholarship of educational development

Scholarship of learning and teaching “problem posing about an issue of teaching or learning, study of the problem through methods appropriate to the disciplinary epistemologies, applications of results to practice, communication of results, self-reflection, and peer review” Cambridge, B. (2001) Fostering the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning: Communities of Practice. To Improve the Academy: A journal of educational development. Vol 19. pp. 3-16

Scholarship of educational development “Articulating what we contribute to higher education teaching and learning communities, including what evidence informs our work and what evidence we have of the impact of our work…engage systematically with the complex problems and opportunities we face in higher education” Little, D. (2014) Reflections on the state of the scholarship of educational development. To Improve the Academy: A journal of educational development, Vol 33(1), pp. 1–13.

Set targets with quantifiable and ‘soft’ measures in evaluation Identify the audience for evaluation findings and tailor the data gathering, analysis and reports accordingly Offer case studies to illustrate critical influences and impact Highlight role of collaboration, networking and partnership across all levels within and beyond the institutional context Identify follow-up actions to enhance strategy, research and practice and build further evidence of value and impact Solving a wicked problem?
