There is increasing interest in how academic development of various kinds influences university teaching and student learning. To date the focus has been on formal, expert-led opportunities to learn how to teach. Our institution has developed a less formal, participant-led forum for teaching staff that was initially established to share ideas on teaching techniques and skills. We report here on participant-led research that explores if and how this model of group learning works, and how it might relate to other models that have been applied to tertiary teaching development. Authors adopted a self-study research framework incorporating a collaborative autoethnography. The data emphasises how participants use this forum as a community of practice, as a means for deep engagement with learning about teaching, and as a means to rationally manage their learning against a backdrop of challenges associated with learning to teach in research-led higher education.

“汇集教学技巧”可以不仅仅是“汇集教学技巧”吗？

人们越来越关注各种学术发展如何影响大学教学和学生学习。迄今为止，重点一直放在正式的、专家主导的学习教学机会上。我们的机构已经为教学人员开发了一个不太正式的、由参与者主导的论坛，最初建立该论坛是为了分享有关教学技巧和技能的想法。我们在此报告以参与者为主导的研究，探讨这种小组学习模式是否以及如何运作，以及它如何与已应用于高等教育教学发展的其他模式相关。作者采用了一个自学研究框架，结合了协作的自我民族志。数据强调了参与者如何将此论坛用作实践社区，作为深入参与教学学习的手段，
