van den Hende, Franka; Riezebos, Jan – Higher Education Research and Development, 2023
Studies about curriculum internationalisation in higher education frequently report poor academic staff engagement hindering implementation in practice. However, such research does not consider the organisational context in which academics operate. This research applies an organisational change perspective to explore how the "context"…

Zou, Tracy X. P.; Harfitt, Gary; Carless, David; Chiu, Christine S. T. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2022
Academics nowadays are increasingly expected to implement high-quality teaching, what is frequently referred to as 'excellent teaching'. Understandings of academics' conceptions of excellent teaching are, however, limited, despite extensive research on different aspects of quality teaching. To address this gap, there is a need to expand the…

Undergraduate education is competitive. User experience is important to course design because it can improve user-satisfaction and learning. Action research methodology was used in our practice-oriented case study about the application of human-factors methods to re-design an undergraduate second-year occupational therapy course. A cognitive task…

Rowland, Susan; Gannaway, Deanne; Pedwell, Rhianna; Adams, Peter; Evans, Robyn; Bonner, Hailey; Wong, Kai Sheng – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020
Recent focus on graduate employability has exposed the inadequacies of work preparation for science students, who need an employability toolkit to navigate the modern work landscape. An established mechanism to develop students' employment awareness is Work Integrated Learning (WIL), but Australian mathematics and science students participate in…

Peseta, Tai; Bell, Amani – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020
Students as Partners (SAP) initiatives are often framed as opportunities to reanimate university education so that students become active participants in their learning, and change agents capable of transforming their institutions. Embedded in these framings is a view that students are also the primary 'experts' of their learning experiences. This…

Amiet, D.; Choate, J.; Hoskin, J.; Dart, J. – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
Career development is an essential component of graduate employability, particularly for students undertaking degree programs that are not aligned to a specific vocational outcome. For undergraduate career development to be effective, it should be embedded into the curriculum and involve the academic teaching staff. This approach enhances the…

Power, Tamara; Virdun, Claudia; Gorman, Edward; Doab, Anna; Smith, Rachel; Phillips, Angela; Gray, Joanne – Higher Education Research and Development, 2018
Like other Westernised countries, Australia's history of colonisation, racism and oppression has impacted upon Indigenous Peoples' health and well-being. It is also evident that institutional racism and ongoing colonisation are present in the Australian health system. Better preparation of health professionals to work in a culturally respectful…

Baumber, Alex; Kligyte, Giedre; van der Bijl-Brouwer, Mieke; Pratt, Susanne – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020
Partnership in higher education has gained prominence over recent decades, but recent studies have identified a lack of research exploring how partnership practices unfold in specific disciplinary contexts. This article explores how a transdisciplinary approach can be used to better understand and facilitate student-staff partnerships where staff…

Hannon, John; Hocking, Colin; Legge, Katherine; Lugg, Alison – Higher Education Research and Development, 2018
Interdisciplinarity has become part of contemporary university discourses on knowledge in both research and curriculum. The move to break down traditional disciplinary boundaries reflects emerging forms of enquiry into knowledge that are less hegemonic and more distributed, and more tuned to its production, practices and the needs of its…

Benzie, Helen Joy; Pryce, Alison; Smith, Keith – Higher Education Research and Development, 2017
Embedding academic literacies in higher education courses has been a major focus of the work of learning advisers. A number of studies present the results of embedding in specific courses without discussing the processes of negotiation or the different people involved. This paper is about embedding academic literacies in the Business faculty as…
