{"title":"Navigating the complexities of higher education: towards a more holistic, relational understanding of academic development work","authors":"B. Dean, Johan Geertsema","doi":"10.1080/1360144X.2023.2203960","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1360144X.2023.2203960","url":null,"abstract":"From the very beginning, since the publication of our first volume, there have been calls in IJAD for a holistic approach to academic development. Back in 1996, Brew and Boud noted that ‘the necessary emphasis on teaching has distracted attention from the fact that university teachers are facing many other complex demands’ (p. 17). They highlighted diversity in the range of backgrounds of academics and their increasingly diverse range of roles, as well as the growth in the number of casual and contract staff. As a result, Brew and Boud (1996) called for new frameworks for academic development to emphasize negotiation and flexibility. More than twenty years later, Sutherland (2018) responded to what she terms the persistent calls for a more holistic approach to academic development echoing through the literature: an approach that would consider the whole of the academic role, the whole institution, and the whole person. Such a holistic understanding is also reflected in IJAD’s working definition of academic development (https://www.tandfonline.com/action/ authorSubmission?show=instructions&journalCode=rija20#working). The articles in the current issue all engage, whether explicitly or implicitly, with the complexities, challenges, and opportunities of a more holistic understanding of academic development work, one that is also more relational in character. Relationality is present in academic development practice, although rarely made explicit in role description. For example, when you meet an academic developer passionate about their work, it becomes clear that care, community, and quality are foundational to their philosophical and professional approach. Those drawn to the academic development profession are often individuals who experience the joys of teaching and serving their community by holding space for impactful conversations and experiences. Relational pedagogies drive academic development work, as confirmed by significant work in IJAD and in the field more broadly, including recent special issues on approaches to fostering communities of practice (Mårtensson & Roxå, 2015) and professional conversations (Pleschová et al., 2021). This work is underpinned by philosophies of care, with holistic, person-centred ontologies that inform academic developer work as ‘influencing agents’ (Debowski, 2014, p. 50) across capacity building, policy writing, and change enabling practices. It also becomes clear just how complex our work is. While many, perhaps most, of us still work in centralized units that focus on professional development of teaching, a holistic approach to academic development also embraces those in positions that emphasise educational technology or researcher development. A range of development services that specialise in one domain, or stretches across several dimensions of teaching and research work, seeks greater alignment to support the complexities of faculty work that may include teaching and research roles.

In the paper, the authors situate relational pedagogy within the context of contemporary marketized higher education, explore the nature and importance of relational pedagogy, and they illustrate some of the ways in which it may be developed and enacted. Academic developers play a significant role in supporting academics' understanding and practice of relational pedagogy. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of a relational pedagogy at a time when care and relationships with others have mattered more than ever. Therefore, the authors suggest that relational pedagogy is an important area worthy of academic developers' attention and institutional backing.","PeriodicalId":47146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Academic Development","volume":"28 1","pages":"230 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42120360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Academic developers as ‘romantic incubators’? The role of growth and professional support in our work","authors":"Mary C. Wright, Tracy X. P. Zou","doi":"10.1080/1360144X.2023.2178705","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1360144X.2023.2178705","url":null,"abstract":"Although initial descriptors vary globally, terms such as educational development, academic development, and faculty development are joined by the common word, ‘development’. The idea of development implies a function oriented towards growth, encouragement, and professional support. Land (2001, p. 6), focusing on the individual academic developer, titles this orientation the ‘romantic (ecological humanist)’, which is ‘concerned with the personal development, growth and well-being of individual practitioners within the organization’. Others, looking at academic development organisations, have labeled this function the ‘incubator’ role (POD Network, 2018; Wright, 2023). As an incubator, academic development units support individual growth and development through one-on-one initiatives such as consultations and coaching, as well as programmatic approaches such as orientations and mentoring. In both cases, the romantic (ecological humanist) orientation and incubator strategies are presented as approaches that individuals and academic units might intentionally occupy. For example, in Land’s work, romantic is one of 12 possible orientations. Similarly, an incubator approach is one of four change strategies that an academic unit, such as a centre for teaching and learning, might leverage. Therefore, what are the affordances of this particular orientation or strategy, compared to other possibilities? There are compelling reasons to implement romantic/incubator approaches to academic development. As Timmermans et al. (2018, p. 370) write, ‘Care is arguably part of the underlying ethos of our work as educational developers’. This core value is embodied in these supportive and developmental orientations. An additional foundational component of the work of academic development is change (Grupp, 2014; Timmermans, 2014; Weston & Finkelstein, 2017). Critically reflective change or reflection-in-action are guiding threads woven through many of these approaches, with the objective of promoting transformation or self-realization. Finally, at the level of the group or institution, these approaches contribute to institutional enhancement, by enabling career success and pathways to leadership, in ways that align with definitions of the field (Felten et al., 2007; Sutherland, 2018) The articles and book review in the current issue illustrate the romantic/incubator approaches in various endeavours. One important form of these initiatives is mentoring. Bojko and Kowalczyk (2023) found that mentoring enhances the growth of early-career academics in Poland and enables them to make steady scientific progression. However, Bojko and Kowalczyk also highlight that mentoring in their context was found to be in a rather traditional form, with senior scholars passing knowledge to their junior counterparts. Alkhatnai (2023) discovered that a year-long mentoring programme for university administrators across eight Saudi universities benefited mentees when trust is established.
