Duration: 3 hours
The purpose of this workshop is to provide an illustration of recent
research developments in the area of disciplinary specificity in university
teaching, and to enable participants develop strategies for inclusion of
these findings in their own practice (i.e. university teaching, academic
development and/or higher education administration).The workshop will
comprise two parts. The first will be a presentation of recent research
developments in the area of disciplinary specificity with regards to
university teaching. The second part will allow participants to reflect on
the concepts presented in order to envisage strategies for their domain of
practice.
This workshop is based on two qualitative studies which examined the
importance of disciplinary specificity in teaching. The first study examines
ways in which teaching is part of a complex social system. The second study
examines the importance of discipline-specific pedagogical knowledge (DPK)
by presenting an empirical model that describes how higher education
teachers draw from their knowledge base for teaching, the specific
characteristics of their discipline, and their personal beliefs about
teaching.
