Hi Phil,
From a personal perspective, when I started teaching in HE (from FE, and previous to that KS4 and KS3 inclusion units) the reading I found most useful was:
John Lea's '77 things' - https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/learning-and-teaching-enhancement/docs/77thingstothinkabout.pdf
The message I took from that is that teaching is 'techne' - a craft - but how it looks and feels depends on the contexts in which we practice that craft. I hadn't located my teaching practice within Aristotle before!
Also, Healey, Jenkins and Lea's 'Developing research-based curricula in college based higher education:
https://www.heacademy.ac.uk/system/files/resources/developing_research-based_curricula_in_cbhe_14.pdf which, again from my perspective, turns a 'doing' activity (project-work) into a theoretically engaged construct, joined to wider arguments around research and practice.
I also found Paula Zwozdiak-Myers 'The Teacher's Reflective Practice Handbook' invaluable.
If it's of interest to you, or might help your project, a small group of volunteers are currently trying to reframe some research and development resources first put together by the Learning and Skills Development Agency in 2002 and refresh, to share this as an open, free, interactive resource online.
The project aims to provide a space where all post-16 practitioners can reflect on ideas of 'evidence', 'development' and 'research' in a semi-structured way. It also aims to provide a toolkit that will support individual critical practice and develop a basic understanding of 'research and development' and how it might be applied in the everyday of teaching.
If you have teachers interested in trialling the pilot unit, please let me know.
Sarah
