Enhancement of Learning & Teaching Practices in a Challenging Context: Evaluating the Outcomes of a Refreshed Peer Supported Review Process
Platt, Amanda
Innovations in Education and Teaching International, v57 n5 p602-612 2020
This institutional case study evaluates staff engagement with a rejuvenated Peer Supported Review (PSR) process, which provides a mechanism for staff to review enhancements to practice within the broad arena of learning and teaching activities that impact on the student experience. The process is refreshed with a holistic quality model, which assimilates the typically distinct fields of quality assurance and enhancement, to exploit the power of the increasingly performance driven HE context. Analysis of the resultant PSR reports indicates that the revised process has delivered positive progress in the extent and efficacy of staff engagement with efforts to enhance their learning and teaching practices. The case study also provides important insights into the possibilities for harnessing the power of the market-driven context to bring a new sense of impetus and value to enhancement, which will be of interest to academic developers elsewhere who are grappling with the same difficulties.
