Reading Group

The Reading Group is one means by which SchREC promotes discussion of ideas in educational development prompted by published literature on learning and teaching.

All are welcome to participate in our face-to-face discussions at SEDA conferences and in our occasional online discussions, posted periodically on SEDA’s electronic mailing list.

Recent papers chosen for discussion have been:

  • Macfarlane, B & Hughes, G (2009) Turning teachers into academics? The role of educational development in fostering synergy between teaching and research, IETI 46 (1) February 2009 pp 5-14. Susan Crozier and Ranald MacDonald facilitated small group discussions on this paper as part of the SEDA conference in May 2009.
  • Manathunga, C. “Unhomely” academic developer identities: More post-colonial explorations, IJAD 12.1 Ranald MacDonald and Frances Deepwell facilitated this discussion, which was framed with two complementary perspectives prompted by the article, captured on video. The first, by the author herself, justified her perspective on the educational development mainstream as a form of colonialism; the second, by Sian Waring, discussing the significance of disciplinary-based conceptions of pedagogical development as another form of colonialism.
