GTA Support and development: Scoping out the Big Issues, 20/21 June 2016
Why do we provide development
opportunities for PGRs?
2
Harris Review, 1996 Dearing Review, 1997
.. it would be very valuable if institutions
were to provide relevant PG students
with access to appropriate training
towards becoming an HE teacher.
Harris Review of PG Education, 1996
PhDs ... should include the provision of
at least two weeks’ dedicated training a
year, principally in transferable skills. Concordat to Support the Career
Development of Researchers, 2008
Universities should….develop or seek access
to programmes for teacher training of their
staff…
Dearing Review Review, 1997
Suitable training should be provided for
teaching and coaching activities as part of
the professional development of
researchers
European Charter for Researchers, 2005
Employers will ensure that where
researchers are provided with teaching and
demonstrating opportunities as part of
their career development, suitable training
and support is provided.
Roberts Review, 2002
UK Quality Code: Chapter B12, 2012
Research students have appropriate
opportunities for developing research,
personal and professional skills.
UK Quality Code: Chapter B11, 2012
Higher education providers assure themselves
that everyone involved in teaching or
supporting student learning is appropriately
qualified, supported and developed.
What future roles are we
developing PGRs for?

From The Scientific Century securing our
future prosperity , The Royal Society 2010
53% careers outside science
17% non-University Research roles

22
Impact of Teaching Development
Boman, 2013
• Increased self-efficacy
• Increase in effective teaching behaviours
• Decreasing communication apprehension
• Need for additional training for International GTAs wrt
Canadian teaching context.
23
Impact of teaching on research
24
…teaching experience can contribute substantially to the
improvement of essential research skills (Feldon et. al., 2011)
Impact of teaching on
wider development?
PRES 2015
Teaching experience supports development of various skills
–Specifically communication skills
–Professional networks
–Managing research projects
25
the experience of teaching and demonstrating seems to be an
important factor affecting the professional development of
research students. It especially improves communication skills
UK PRES 2015 report
Areas for consideration or exploration
• Further evidence of impact would be useful!
• Will the broadening expectations on PGRs (PE, KE,
Internships etc.) impact on their teaching development?
• Do we need to consider international PGRs differently?
• How do we support part-time PGRs?
• How does teaching fit into CDT development provision?

The Role of Teaching in the development of ECRs

  • 1. The role of Teaching in the Development of PGRs Dr Rob Daley Centre for Academic Leadership & Development r.a.daley@hw.ac.uk @RD531 GTA Support and development: Scoping out the Big Issues, 20/21 June 2016
  • 2. Why do we provide development opportunities for PGRs? 2
  • 3. Harris Review, 1996 Dearing Review, 1997
  • 4. .. it would be very valuable if institutions were to provide relevant PG students with access to appropriate training towards becoming an HE teacher. Harris Review of PG Education, 1996 PhDs ... should include the provision of at least two weeks’ dedicated training a year, principally in transferable skills. Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, 2008 Universities should….develop or seek access to programmes for teacher training of their staff… Dearing Review Review, 1997 Suitable training should be provided for teaching and coaching activities as part of the professional development of researchers European Charter for Researchers, 2005 Employers will ensure that where researchers are provided with teaching and demonstrating opportunities as part of their career development, suitable training and support is provided. Roberts Review, 2002
  • 5. UK Quality Code: Chapter B12, 2012 Research students have appropriate opportunities for developing research, personal and professional skills. UK Quality Code: Chapter B11, 2012 Higher education providers assure themselves that everyone involved in teaching or supporting student learning is appropriately qualified, supported and developed.

  • 21. What teaching activities are PGRs involved in? • Lab demonstrating • Tutorials • Seminars • Lecturing • Field trips • Assessment • Individual support • On-line teaching/moderating • Supervising UG/PGT research projects • Assisting less experienced researchers • Researcher development • Others? 21

  • 26. Areas for consideration or exploration • Further evidence of impact would be useful! • Will the broadening expectations on PGRs (PE, KE, Internships etc.) impact on their teaching development? • Do we need to consider international PGRs differently? • How do we support part-time PGRs? • How does teaching fit into CDT development provision?
