> Symposium: Training University Teachers: Theory and Evidence, July 25th
> 2000
>
> This Symposium is part of the ICED 2000 Conference, 'Scholarship and
> Professional Practice in Academic Development', Bielefeld, Germany, July
> 22ndth 2000
> http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/IZHD/ICED/
>
> Background
>
> In 1995 ICED held a conference at Vasa in Finland with the title
> 'Preparing
> University Teachers'. At this conference 40 papers were presented covering
> a
> wide range of issues (Gibbs, 1998). Most papers described programmes, some
> outlined their underlying rationale and a few included empirical evidence
> from evaluation studies. Since 1995 training of university teachers has
> spread extensively. Programmes have become longer and more sophisticated.
> Both institutions and governments have started to set standards for
> training
> and it has become more common for satisfactory completion of such training
> to be linked to employment decisions. This has required rigorous
> assessment
> of outcomes. Research into the impact of training has become more
> widespread
> and this research is more likely to have a theoretical basis rather than
> being wholly pragmatic.
>
> Symposium
>
> The ICED Conference in 2000 will include a one day Symposium devoted to
> conceptualisation and empirical research undertaken since the Vasa
> Conference.
>
> Up to 9 papers will be accepted. Papers will be written and circulated in
> advance of the Symposium, to allow pre-reading so that the Symposium can
> emphasise discussion. The papers will be clustered into three groups, each
> allocated a session. The sessions will be held in sequence so that all
> Symposium participants can hear and be involved in discussion of every
> paper. The clustering will be undertaken on the basis of the papers
> submitted, but is expected to involve three of the following four areas:
>
> 1 Theoretical rationales of programmes for the training of
> university
> teachers
> 2 Research methodologies for studying the training of university
> teachers
> 3 Empirical studies of the impact of training university teachers
> 4 Comparative studies of training of university teachers in
> different
> countries, different higher education systems or different universities.
>
> Format of the Symposium
>
> 1 Introduction and overview
> Prof. Graham Gibbs (Symposium Convenor)
> 2 Symposium Theme 1
> 3 Symposium Theme 2
> 4 Symposium Theme 3
> 5 Conclusions: interactive summary
>
> Each Theme session will involve the authors of the papers (up to three per
> theme) briefly summarising the key ideas or findings of their paper. The
> papers will have been circulated and read before the Symposium. The
> remaining time will be for open discussion, with the authors forming a
> panel.
>
> Submission of abstracts and papers
>
> Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted by email to the address
> below
> by Jan 10th 2000. Decisions regarding acceptance will be made by Jan 20th
> 2000. A proposal to the ICED conference for a complete Symposium
> comprising
> up to 9 papers, in the form of selected abstracts, will be made by the end
> of January, and final confirmation that the Symposium will go ahead will
> be
> communicated to authors by mid February 2000. Those abstracts not accepted
> for the Symposium can be submitted to the main conference.
>
> Authors will then be asked to submit complete papers, of 2,000-3,000
> words,
> by the end of May 2000. Submissions should be by email, with papers in the
> form of Microsoft Word attachments to a specified format. A complete set
> of
> papers for the Symposium will be circulated electronically to all ICED
> Conference participants registered by the end of June 2000. Those wishing
> to
> participate in the Symposium will be expected to have read all the papers
> before the Symposium.
