Dear Colleagues,
Does anybody know of any research that has been published (e.g. in journals or books) on how HE academics engage in professional development? I have heard a lot of anecdotal evidence about the fact that academics will tend to chat to their colleagues 'over coffee' about curriculum development, 'problems' in the classroom etc. (rather than approaching their EDU, LTSN etc.), and that very few have a chance to read much (if any) learning and teaching literature. However, I'm not aware of any academic development research that has been done to back this up (though I believe Duna Sabri at Oxford was doing some doctoral research on this type of thing). Can anyone offer any references?
Thanks for your help,
Helen
