CHELT: Professional Development Program

Academic Professional Development Modules—in the CHELT Seminar Room (Building 10T)

Wednesday May 29 (12.30-1.30pm) – Learning: do emotions matter in teaching and learning?  

Professor Hans Heinimann from ETH Zurich will lead a discussion on new evidence of the role of emotions in human learning and explore the implications for current, and especially future, approaches to teaching and learning.

Thursday May 30 (9.30-11.30am) – Using the Research Skill Development Framework to drive initiatives in research-led education

Dr John Willison (University of Adelaide) will provide an interactive overview of the Research Skill Development Framework, using discipline-based examples, and then consider how the Framework can be used to facilitate the assessment of research-led education. The RSDF is a conceptual model that makes explicit the incremental and cyclic development of student research skills, and is informing the curriculum and assessment design of content-rich courses across more than 30 disciplines in Australian and overseas universities

(Target audience – teachers of undergraduate and postgraduate coursework)

Thursday May 30 (2.30-4.00pm) – Using the Research Skill Development Framework (RSD7) to support HDR supervision

Dr John Willison (University of Adelaide) will provide an interactive overview of the RSD7 Framework, and then consider how it the can be used most effectively by HDR students and their supervisors.
