ABSTRACT

This text discusses the professional development of academic developers. It is based on the authors’ reflections and observations in the context of a semi-formal programme, Strategic Academic Development, held for academic developers in different regions of the world. Most recently the programme participants were academic developers in Singapore. In this text, we as authors share what we notice as similar traits and common patterns across contexts when academic developers develop professionally and their ‘lifeworld’ changes. Five dimensions are highlighted: expanding horizons; widening orientations; intensified focus on ‘the others’; using and/or producing research; and finally, the frames within which academic developers work.

摘要

本文讨论了学术开发人员的专业发展。它基于作者在为世界不同地区的学术开发人员举办的半正式计划战略学术发展背景下的反思和观察。最近的项目参与者是新加坡的学术开发人员。在本文中，我们作为作者分享了当学术开发人员专业发展和他们的“生活世界”发生变化时，我们注意到的跨上下文的相似特征和共同模式。突出五个维度：扩大视野；扩大方向；加强对“他人”的关注；使用和/或进行研究；最后，学术开发人员的工作框架。
