While ‘academic’ could embrace all aspects of the role of academics, including research, innovation, and contributions to community and professional bodies, the expectation is that the focus will be on learning and teaching. In this paper, I address the extent to which – and the sense in which – this is true. I use the results of several surveys conducted in Australia in 2007 and information emerging from a forum of Australian university personnel associated with the development of academics. These sources show that academic development units often perform a range of functions that go beyond the development of learning and teaching. Reviewing the available data, I conclude that the current role of academic developers is very much influenced by strategic pursuits of universities. In this climate, the potential for academic development to operate with the integrity of a practice informed by the disciplined study of learning and teaching is more limited than it was during periods where the understanding of learning and teaching drove the enterprise.  \nThe Question Addressed  \nH owingd?oesThaiscapdaepmericrdevelopmenteferences survreelyates cotontdeauched  \nby David Gosling in the UK and in South Africa on academic development in Australia to provide a basis for international comparison. While many parties ina university contribute to the enhancement of learning and teaching, in most universities at least one organizational unit is established. The generic term for the enterprise can be said to be an ‘academic de-  \nvelopment centre’ (ADC)– the body representing the heads of organizational units in Australia is the Council of Australian Directors of Academic Development (CADAD) . The data referred to in this paper indicates that, while ‘academic’ could embrace all aspects of the role of academics, including research, innovation, and contributions to community and professional bodies, the focus will be on learning and teaching.  \nPurpose of Curriculum Mapping  \nIn the English and Australian context, three broad approaches to academic development have been distinguished. They emerged in a chronological sequence, but now they co-exist. They have been classed as teaching-oriented, learning-oriented, and strategically-oriented (Table 1; Ling, 2005) .  \nTable 1  \nApproaches to Academic Development  \n\n| Approach | Focus of academic development activities |\n| --- | --- |\n| Teaching-oriented | Teaching strategies/teaching tips |\n| Learning-oriented | How students learn and what students learn |\n| Strategic-oriented | Strategies to assure institutional objectives are met |\n\nTeaching-oriented approaches focus on teaching techniques underpinned in Australia by the HERDSA Green Guides series that includes booklets like Conducting Tutorials (Lublin, 1987) and Lecturing (Cannon, 1992) . In the UK, there are books like 53 Interesting Things to do In Your Lectures (Gibbs, Habeshaw, & Habeshaw, 1987) and similar publications of Bristol, Technical, and Educational Services, later surpassed by 2000 Tips for Lecturers (Race, 1999) . The learning-oriented approach, on the other hand, is epitomized by the UK Staff and Education Development Association (SEDA) publication, Nevermind the Teaching, Feel the Learning (Race, 1993), and by the writing of John Biggs (1999), which focuses on what the learner does rather than what the teacher does. Learning-oriented approaches have been informed by research into learning in higher education, such as those based on phenomenography, associated with the work of Ference Marton (Svensson, 1997) . With this conceptual underpinning, academic development could be said to be a discipline in its own right.  \nIn the current context, academic development is als","cbCaiq7VhHUPzgpg","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq7VhHUPzgpg","pdf",204393,"English","# The Question Addressed\n# Purpose of Curriculum Mapping\n# Teaching-oriented Approaches\n# Learning-oriented Approaches\n# Strategic-oriented Approaches\n# Methodology\n# Data","[{\"question\":\"What main focus does the paper assign to academic development in universities?\",\"answer\":\"It expects academic development to focus on learning and teaching, even though the evidence shows academic development units often extend beyond that role.\"},{\"question\":\"How are academic development approaches categorized in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"They are classified as teaching-oriented, learning-oriented, and strategically-oriented, with each approach emphasizing different goals and activities.\"},{\"question\":\"What sources does the paper use to support its conclusions?\",\"answer\":\"It uses survey data from 2007 and related studies, plus expert input and focus-group reflections from a forum involving academic development representatives across Australian universities.\"}]","Strategic Approaches to Academic Development: Relationship to Learning and Teaching | PDF",1792087254,15]
