{"title":"Industry experience and supporting part-time academic professionals: professional sport and academic development parallels","authors":"P. Crisp","doi":"10.1080/1360144x.2022.2161212","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1360144x.2022.2161212","url":null,"abstract":"For many, the route towards teaching within education, and in particular, higher education (HE), does not always follow a straightforward, linear fashion. Indeed, some take unconventional routes, and this is particularly apparent within the context of UK HE given that the requirements of this sector oftentimes specifically ask for significant industry experience. How else to develop this, other than through experience itself? Accruing it, admittedly, is particularly helpful in underpinning and developing the vocational and professional expertise of lecturers (that benefits students), yet to have gained this oftentimes means shifting from one career to another, in this case to HE. I am an example in that previous to working as an HE lecturer, I played nine seasons of American football as a professional across several European competitions, and was also a part of the first iteration of the NFL’s International Player Development Programme (in the 1990s). After this, I leveraged my significant playing experience in sport to work within sport development, youth work, and finally the education sector. This was a transition, from participating within professional sport and accruing a range of coaching roles and knowledge and experience, that needed to rapidly grasp the professional competencies, expectations, and standards for the education field. Whilst many elements of ‘teaching’ were well covered by my sporting experience (e.g. communication, information dissemination, groupwork), my transition was also supported by formal, assessed, and accredited academic development and professional courses I undertook for tertiary (further) education in the first instance. More than anything though, the informality and support I received as a mentee, with more ‘experienced’ mentors, were the most impactful, meaningful developmental episodes I experienced. This was, in many respects, no different to picking up technical knowledge, game awareness, or social understanding of team dynamics, from more experienced coaches or players. Building on my experiences of transitioning from performance sport to education, a belief that there are considerable links between teaching and coaching (Wright et al., 2005) and that supportive mentors can accelerate the development of effective practice, I continue to use these principles today. In my own practice I still seek meaningful professional social contact and advice, and as a line manager for several associate lecturers [ALs] within the University I am based at I continue to espouse a similar philosophy and promote mentoring.","PeriodicalId":47146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Academic Development","volume":"27 1","pages":"323 - 324"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41730625","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":"Fostering research culture through virtual community learning towards academic development","authors":"T. Durai, R. V. Solomon, P. Wilson","doi":"10.1080/1360144X.2022.2161213","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/1360144X.2022.2161213","url":null,"abstract":"Collegiate education in India has been redefined since 2015 where faculty are assessed on their research contributions and institutions are ranked nationally on various quality indicators. The assessment includes publication of research articles in journals indexed by databases like Scopus/Web of Science and other reputed publishers. Owing to academic pressure to validate their merit for career appraisals, faculty resort to quick publication through predatory journals posing a threat to the academic fraternity and the quality of research. At the brink of the lockdown in 2020, one of the authors as the head of the institution felt a need to reorient the academic value proposition towards research through deliberate and informal initiatives to be inevitable. The challenge began with demystifying myths on the process of publication in indexed journals. An analysis of publications of the faculty revealed that many had fallen prey to predatory journals. An informal inquiry identified a lack of awareness as key to this serious misdemeanour. Thus, to address this issue, the institution had to bring together the academic community informally through mutual learning and reflection towards academic development where the stakeholders own responsibility for the transformation and perpetuation of the process. Community learning, a reciprocal learning and reflection process through non-hierarchical community engagement for capacity building, can be used as a strategy to promote academic development. A virtual community learning program, MCC Research Colloquium (MCCRC), was conceptualized in college to create awareness on research metrics and the nuances of scientific writing, which in turn would enhance the research acumen of the faculty. Being a community learning program, speakers are faculty, alumni, and students from within the institution. Community Learning gradually evolved into distinct phases which included awareness creation, content perpetuation from the topics delivered that led to subsequent creation of a thread for relevant discussion and collaboration between faculty across disciplines. This community learning program has come a long way with measurable learning outcomes. Discussions in research over a cup of tea, collaborations across disciplines, faculty being trained to conduct workshops, use of technology for collaborative writing and changes in the perception and attitude of faculty towards research are representative signs of a new research culture. This evolved involuntarily and passively on campus, as evidenced from feedback, personal interviews and informal discussions with faculty.","PeriodicalId":47146,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for Academic Development","volume":"27 1","pages":"337 - 338"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48210486","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}
