Abstract

This paper uses insider research within a Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) framework to examine the lived induction-to-teaching experiences of twelve new academics at a case-study Northern UK university. A CHAT lens foregrounds contradictions as a source for change in the induction-to-teaching process. Data generated through semi-structured interviews with these academics were analysed and, informed by CHAT, allowed us to discern contradictions in sociocultural and structural aspects of the induction activity systems which significantly impact new academics’ experiences. Examining these contradictions enabled us to identify interventions for enhancing academic induction policy and practice within the case-study University, but also more widely.

新学者的入职体验——运用文化历史活动理论理解和改进入职体验

本文采用文化历史活动理论（CHAT）框架内的内部研究，对英国北部大学12名新学者的教学经历进行了实证研究。CHAT镜头将矛盾作为教学过程归纳变化的来源。通过对这些学者的半结构化访谈产生的数据进行了分析，并在CHAT的指导下，使我们能够发现入职活动系统的社会文化和结构方面的矛盾，这些矛盾对新学者的经历产生了重大影响。研究这些矛盾使我们能够确定干预措施，以加强案例研究大学内部的学术入职政策和实践，但也更广泛。

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.).
