ABSTRACT

Over the past two years, four research-intensive universities in the UK have appointed senior academic leaders from academic development backgrounds, a new phenomenon in this sector of UK higher education that may suggest a changing pattern. This study interviewed these four leaders to explore what the appointment means for their academic identity. The interviewees identified internal and external drivers for change and noted their backgrounds as academic developers made their routes into these senior roles different from their peers. For this reason, their ‘academic credibility’ was critical in order to implement culture change effectively.

从学术发展背景看PVC教育的职业身份

摘要

在过去的两年里，英国的四所研究型大学任命了具有学术发展背景的高级学术带头人，这是英国高等教育这一领域的一个新现象，可能预示着一种正在发生变化的模式。本研究采访了这四位领导人，以探讨任命对他们的学术身份意味着什么。受访者确定了变革的内部和外部驱动因素，并指出了他们作为学术开发人员进入这些高级职位的途径与同龄人不同的背景。因此，他们的“学术信誉”对于有效实施文化变革至关重要。
