‘教师及教学发展’ 是一种专业:国际文献有关的论述 • Is educational development yet a profession? Certainly we have many of the characteristics of a profession: national societies, some agreed upon terminology, the beginnings of an accreditation process, academic journals, and the first pieces of the conceptual basis for what we do. (Knapper, 1998) • … educational development is fast becoming both an established field of studyand arecognized professional role in most institutions of higher education in the UK. (Gosling, 2001) • Over the decades, … faculty development has become a professional field in which individuals acquire specific skills for supporting the professional growth of faculty colleagues (Sorcinelli, Austin, Eddy, & Beach, 2006)

理论基础 • Like our colleagues in other disciplines, educational development has borrowed substantially from other fields, such as educational psychology (e.g. research on approaches to learning), adult education (e.g. adult development and transformative learning), organizational behaviour (faculty attitudes and theories of change), and psychometrics (e.g. student evaluation of teaching). (Knapper 1998) • ‘教师及教学发展’ 的专业学问(Scholarship of academic development)也在迅速发展(Becher, 1989; Brew, 1995; Eggins and Macdonald, 2003; Webb, 1996)

Credible (successful, effective) AD people typically possess: (Andresen, 1996) • unique insights into teaching and learning, gained from their own research and practice of their own scholarship; • knowledge of the theory and practice of higher education as an area of study, and of the separate disciplines (philosophy, sociology, psychology, management, etc) on which it draws; • knowledge of how to go about studying and analysing educational settings to understand how they operate and how to improve them; • knowledge of how to analyse and find solutions to educational problems faced by university teachers and their students; • knowledge of how to appraise the quality of teaching and of student learning, critique the methods adopted by teachers and students, and communicate the results empathically and informatively to those concerned;
Credible (successful, effective) AD people typically possess: (cont’d) • ability to talk with teachers and students (listen, ask appropriate questions, observe and collect relevant evidence); • knowledge of how to facilitate teachers and students to talk about, reflect upon, inquire into, and work to improve, their own circumstances; • knowledge of how to design settings for quality learning by others and to implement and model competent and effective teaching styles and strategies; • knowledge of academic culture generally, of their own country's university system and of higher education institutional structures and intellectual culture in particular, with understanding of effective ways of working for change and development within that setting.
‘Critical to the success of many centers was a high quality staff of instructional developers who … typically had • PhD’s in a variety of fields, • colleague teaching experience and • experience working with colleagues on teaching improvement. • Some had specialized expertise in • instructional technologies, • evaluation research, • course and program assessment, and • multicultural education to promote inclusivity.’ (Sorcinelli, et al. 2006)
