Abstract

In this short vignette I reflect on the question ‘What does academic development mean to me in my current context as a programme leader in Clinical Education?’ Am I even an academic developer any longer? And yet I find myself drawn to respond to the question. Having moved, 6 years ago, from a typical academic developer role, situated within a centralised teaching and learning unit, I now find myself in what appears to be a more clearly defined lecturing role as an Professor in Educational Enhancement. I am employed on an academic teaching-focused contract, my main responsibility being to lead an Advance HE accredited Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Clinical Education. I am not then, by name at least, an academic developer. However, I contend that I ‘do’ academic development work. Does this make me an intruder here? An ex-academic developer, not wanting to ‘let go’, simultaneously suffering the imposter syndrome of being a non-clinician in a medical school? For me though academic development is not so much about the job title but how individuals enact academic development work – either formally or informally – and the transformative impact of that work on individuals and their teaching.

临床教育vs学术发展

在这篇短文中，我思考了这样一个问题:“在我目前作为临床教育项目负责人的背景下，学术发展对我来说意味着什么?”“我还算是一个学术开发者吗?然而，我发现自己被吸引去回答这个问题。六年前，我从一个典型的学术开发人员的角色转移到一个集中的教学单位，现在我发现自己的角色似乎更明确地定义为教育促进教授。我受雇于一份以学术教学为重点的合同，我的主要职责是在临床教育方面领导高级高等教育认证的研究生证书(PGCert)。至少从名字上来说，我不是一个学术开发者。然而，我认为我“做”的是学术发展工作。这让我成了闯入者吗?一名前学术开发人员，不想“放手”，同时又在医学院当非临床医生，患上了冒名顶替综合症?对我来说，学术发展与其说是职位，不如说是个人如何开展学术发展工作——无论是正式的还是非正式的——以及这些工作对个人及其教学的变革性影响。

期刊介绍： The International Journal for Academic Development ( IJAD) is the journal of the International Consortium for Educational Development. The purpose of IJAD is to enable academic/educational/faculty developers in higher education across the world to exchange ideas about practice and extend the theory of educational development, with the goal of improving the quality of higher education internationally. The editors welcome original contributions on any aspect of academic/educational/faculty development in higher and other post-school education (including staff development, educational development, instructional development and faculty development) and closely related topics. We define ‘academic development’ broadly, and you should read former editor Brenda Leibowitz’s recent paper, ‘Reflections on academic development: what is in a name?’ ( http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rija20/19/4#.VMcX6_7oSGo) to make sure that your understanding of academic development marries with the general sense of the journal. We will NOT accept submissions on K-12 development or teacher education; primary/secondary/high school education in general; or the role that education plays in ‘development’ (economic growth, poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, etc.).
