The Centre for Higher Education Research and Scholarship hosted a one-day event on \u2018Developing Pedagogical Expertise Across Institutions\u2019 on Friday 27 September 2019. Leaders of teaching and learning from across the country debated and discussed a national framework for developing pedagogical research. The day featured a presentation on the Office for Students (OfS)-funded project \u201cMaximising Student Success through the Development of Self-Regulation\u201d, by Professor Carol Evans from the University of Birmingham. Carol identified ways to support students\u2019 ability to become independent learners, which is challenged by regulatory pressures to treat education as a service, and how to develop research-informed integrated assessment.<\/p>\n

The suite of taught programmes run by the Educational Development Unit, including the MEd in Undergraduate Learning and Teaching<\/a> featured as a showcase of an structured approach to supporting pedagogical research tailored to a specific institutional context. Professor Martyn Kingsbury explained how the flexible nature of the suite of programmes has led to increased engagement from academics and staff in learning and teaching roles.
\nProf Christina Hughes presented on the \u2018Legacy of LEGACY<\/a>\u2019, another OfS-funded project exploring the development of methods to measure learning gain at a national scale. Christina highlighted the methodological challenges of measuring student learning and the importance of disciplinary context. The project identified how engaging with students, as researchers, via research-based surveys and instruments and through research and support benefited student learning.<\/p>\n

The day concluded with a workshop run by Dr Camille Kandiko Howson and Carol Evans on the \u2018Future of Pedagogical Research\u2019, exploring:<\/p>\n
