The Individual Development Plan for Postdoctoral Professional Developmentauthors boards
Purpose of the Individual Development Plan
The Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a tool designed to assist with (1) assessing an individual’s skill set relative to their career goals; (2) identifying professional goals and objectives; and (3) developing a plan to acquire the skills and competencies needed to achieve short- and long-term career objectives. While the IDP is not new, its recognition as a best practice in postdoctoral professional development is fairly recent. The Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) was an early proponent of using IDPs for postdoctoral career planning. Dr. Philip Clifford, Associate Dean of Postdoctoral Education at the Medical College of Wisconsin, played a key role in drafting and promoting the FASEB model of the Postdoctoral IDP. Because of its demonstrated usefulness in fostering professional development, the IDP is increasingly recognized as an important instrument for postdocs in a broad range of positions. A well-crafted IDP can serve as both a planning and a communications tool, allowing postdocs to identify their research and career goals and to communicate these goals to mentors, PIs, and advisors

Doing a PhD focuses on developing research skills and abilities rather than just acquiring knowledge. The main goal is to become a competent researcher who can independently conduct research in their chosen field. Key abilities developed through PhD coursework and research include breadth of knowledge in the discipline, expertise in a focused area, identifying research problems, conducting research, and communicating results. These skills are largely self-taught through commitment to research rather than directly taught. Developing these abilities through independent thesis research is the primary aim of PhD programs.

Managing Inquiry-based Learning: Learning from experiencecilass.slideshare
We have taught a suite of inquiry-based learning modules for the past 20 years. Two problems that have occurred frequently are that the students can be poor at organising their schedules and setting deadlines, whilst at the same time we have moved towards marking schemes which are focused on process applied rather than product produced. These two factors have mandated that the students need to provide evidence that they are planning and following the process that has been set. To support this we have introduced a suite of custom support software.
Cultural diversity is a fact of life, especially at the University of Surrey where over 30% of our students originate from over 130 different countries. The concept of a ‘Cultural Academy’ was born from a concern and a belief that we could do more to learn from our cultural diversity. Cultural Academy is not part of the formal curriculum but a process, founded on the idea of appreciative enquiry that requires voluntary participation from both students and staff. Through a series of workshops, planning meetings and a student-led conference extending over five months, participants (students, facilitators and mentors) shared their experiences and understandings of culture and its influences on their lives. Infrastructures to support learning included an on-line social networking space to encourage conversation and the recording and sharing of experience , a mentoring scheme to support and encourage learning and to validate learning, a new learning through experience award to value and recognise the learning, a wiki to support the production and accumulation of knowledge gained through enquiry. Various pedagogic processes within the learning process will be explored at the presentation.

This document discusses learner autonomy and enquiry-based learning (EBL). It defines an autonomous learner as someone who independently chooses their learning goals, methods, and criteria for evaluation. Effective autonomous learners have appropriate conceptions of learning, intrinsic motivation, and skills for managing information and their learning. EBL involves students determining their own lines of inquiry to pursue knowledge. When using technology to support EBL, factors to consider include the appropriateness of tools, availability of resources, and not overburdening workload. Academic staff can be encouraged to engage with technology by providing peer support, ensuring tools have clear purposes, and equipping them with strategies for appropriate usage.

A simulation was run by educational developers that matched Visualisation students with academics from across the university in order to explore the potential of digital game-based learning (DGBL). Students acted as 'developer companies' charged with designing educational games for their academic 'clients.' One unexpected outcome was the realisation that the design process itself provided a valuable learning opportunity, requiring creativity in problem solving and discourse in the iterative design negotiations, and so offering a model of networked inquiry. The session will engage participants in discussion in order to develop understanding of the links between creativity, design and inquiry-based learning.
This document discusses using social bookmarking tools like Delicious and Diigo to support inquiry-based learning. It describes how the author set up bookmarking sites for history students to tag and share sources they found online. Students found this helpful for seminar preparation and developing research skills. While some engagement issues arose, most students felt it improved their thinking and ability to find different types of sources. The author reflected that social bookmarking can effectively support inquiry-based learning when combined with specific tasks and modeling from instructors.

Strategi aproaches to Information Literacy Development: a CETL perspectivecilass.slideshare
1) CILASS is a 5-year £4.5M programme funded by HEFCE to promote inquiry-based learning impacting over 10,000 students in arts, social sciences, and law.
2) Inquiry-based learning involves student-directed, open-ended inquiry on problems and cases at an appropriately scaled level. It develops capabilities for scholarship and employability.
3) Information literacy is a key theme for CILASS and involves working with partners like the library and information studies department to embed information literacy training and assess competencies using the SCONUL seven pillars model.
CILASS works to develop inquiry-based learning (IBL) at the University of Sheffield through curriculum development projects and learning spaces. IBL approaches involve self-directed student inquiry using techniques like case studies and problem-based learning. Information literacy is key to IBL, equipping students with skills to independently conduct research and develop knowledge. CILASS promotes information literacy through various initiatives like workshops, an information literacy network, and audits to identify how departments can enhance skills development. The goal is to embed information literacy into IBL curriculum design.

Inquiry-based learning with Papyri and Manuscripts - Kate Cooper and Jamie Wo...cilass.slideshare
The document discusses using inquiry-based learning with Greek and Latin papyri and manuscripts. It proposes developing "generative learning objects" (GLOs) that allow students to engage with physical manuscripts and papyri through alternative, inquiry-based methods. Initial findings show that existing GLOs are engaging but limited for open-ended inquiries. However, many low-tech projects in fields like museology, Egyptology and classics successfully use objects to engage students in research. Advice is sought on how GLOs or other methods could be used to work with manuscripts and papyri at the master's level.
The document provides guidance for students writing dissertations or extended essays in sociology. It discusses C. Wright Mills' concept of the sociological imagination and the importance of linking individual experiences to broader social and historical contexts. Students are encouraged to develop research questions that interest them and to consider appropriate methods for investigating their chosen topics. The document offers advice on various stages of the research process, including developing proposals, conducting research, and structuring final written assignments. It also provides examples of potential dissertation topics.
This document discusses using inquiry-based learning (IBL) and an online research hub called MOLE to support archaeology students in their dissertations. It outlines how the approach provides students with skills activities and collaboration tools to structure their research. An evaluation found increasing student engagement with MOLE resources over three weeks. The implications are that IBL and MOLE support students in developing research capabilities and skills while allowing peer feedback, leading to improved dissertation submission rates and quality.
