Academic Practice (Professional) University of Gloucestershire

Overview

Academic Practice (Professional) at University of Gloucestershire provides an opportunity to reflect critically upon your emerging role as part of your institution, to deconstruct challenges to effective learning and teaching and to draw on theory as well as feedback from others – including your students. The design of the course ensures that it is both challenging and enjoyable in equal measures and relevant to your developing professional needs and interests.

Throughout the duration of the PGCAP it aims:

• Enable participants to evidence effective professional practice conducive with Descriptor 1 and 2 of the Professional Standards Framework (PSF)
• Develop critically reflective professionals who draw on research-informed academic practice to impact on the learning experiences of their students.
• Develop professionals who are responsive to curriculum and assessment change, design and development that supports equity in opportunity for the diverse needs of their student population.
• Promote educational enquiry in the context of professionals’ own practice that is shared amongst peers and across professional networks.
• Develop professionals who critically consider various external and institutional factors impacting upon academic practice and from which, plan their own continuing professional development.
