"Subject-Oriented and Interdisciplinary Research on Higher Education – what
can we learn from each other?"
March 3-5, 2010
Dortmund (Germany)
www.doss2010.de
Submission deadline: November 1st, 2009
Designing teaching and learning in higher education - Connecting people,
ideas and communities is the aim of the 4th Dortmund Spring School for
Academic Staff Developers – DOSS 2010 (Conference Chair: Isa Jahnke) – which
takes place at the Center for Research on Higher Education and Faculty
Development (German: Hochschuldidaktisches Zentrum/HDZ) of the TU Dortmund
University in cooperation with the German Association for Teaching and
Learning in Higher Education (dghd).
This conference invites people who are interested in teaching and learning
processes in higher education (HE) from the specific perspectives of both,
subject-oriented and interdisciplinary research on higher education and
faculty development. The main question is: What can we learn from each other
when we reflect, design and develop teaching and learning, pedagogical
strategies and learning as well as teaching methods? Furthermore, we want to
reflect the relation between subject-oriented and interdisciplinary academic
development in HE. How do subject-oriented and interdisciplinary academic
development in HE relate to each other? How can we improve methodologies and
concepts for both fields?
We invite you to submit concepts focused on empirical findings, theoretical
analyses and practical experiences related to the main topic and to the
following areas:
• What effects do new management strategies have on the quality of teaching
and which consequences will they have regarding the HE processes and its
academic development?
• What is the relationship between subject-specific and educational
expertise in respect of the development of teaching competence? How can we
support the development of competence for experts in a specific domain who
are not experts in the domain of research and development of teaching and
learning?
• How do requirements of subject-specific and interdisciplinary research and
development in HE affect concepts of continuing education? What new concepts
and topics are available and important?
• Further contributions regarding the main topic could be the following:
gender, internationalization of studies and eLearning (e.g., Web 2.0 in HE).
Submission deadline: November 1st, 2009
DOSS 2010 is a forum for professional academic developers and those who are
interested in to become professional academic developers.
We invite you to submit contributions:
a) full papers (presentations of scientific results),
b) concepts about practice-oriented topics/questions (discussions in
workshops type 1) and
c) concepts concerning continuing education for teaching and learning in HE
(workshop type 2).
Full papers should not comprise more than 8 pages. Concepts of workshops
(type 1 and 2) should not be longer than 2 pages. Accepted full papers and
