Higher education (HE) is engaged in a variety of educational innovations, as well as professional development initiatives (PDIs) to support teachers in attaining the required expertise. To improve teacher professional learning and development (PLD) and innovation processes, it is important to understand whether, how and why different PLD practices…

Employing graduate students in undergraduate courses is common practice in higher education. This study focused on the concerns of graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) to learn how their work performance could be improved. GTAs (N = 158) at a major research university in Israel provided written recommendations for enhancing their work. Thematic…

Boud, David; Costley, Carol; Marshall, Steve; Sutton, Brian – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
Doctoral education aims to benefit those who undertake it, but does it exert a wider influence? Professional doctorates are commonly designed to have an impact beyond the individual concerned, but is this influence realised? This article focuses on a collaborative enquiry by a group of academics and doctoral alumni from non-discipline-specific…

Graduate students play a major role in teaching in higher education, particularly in undergraduate programs. The purpose of the present study was two-fold: first, to identify graduate students' motives for working as graduate teaching assistants (GTAs), describe some aspects of their work, and ascertain their perceived benefits; second, to predict…

Saito, Eisuke; Pham, Thanh – Higher Education Research and Development, 2021
The notion of employability has become a focal point of higher education in many countries' strategies to prepare students for employment. Responses to this notion can differ largely from country to country and from university to university, based on their historical, political, and economic contexts. However, very little has been researched in…

Sharmini, Sharon; Spronken-Smith, Rachel – Higher Education Research and Development, 2020

McCulloch, Alistair; Loeser, Cassandra – Higher Education Research and Development, 2016
Supervisor induction and continued professional development programmes constitute good practice and are enshrined in institutional policies and national codes of practice. However, there is little evidence about whether they have an impact on either supervisors' learning or day-to-day practice. Set in a discussion of previous literature, this…

Hancock, Sally; Clegg, Sue; Crossouard, Barbara; Kahn, Peter; Weller, Saranne – Higher Education Research and Development, 2016
This article aims to deconstruct the underpinning tenets of the term "newer researcher into higher education." In recognition of the ambiguities of the term, we begin by questioning the nature of the field(s) of research into higher education (HE). Secondly, we critique the policy discourses associated with the term "newer…

Beck, Eevi E.; Solbrekke, Tone Dyrdal; Sutphen, Molly; Fremstad, Ester – Higher Education Research and Development, 2015
How can higher education educate graduates who know more than "just knowledge"?

When is scientific rigour…
