The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education

The UK Professional Standards Framework (UK PSF) for teaching and supporting learning, launched in February 2006, is a flexible framework which uses a descriptor-based approach to professional standards. There are three standard descriptors each of which is applicable to a number of staff roles and to different career stages of those engaged in teaching and supporting learning. The standard descriptors are underpinned by areas of professional activity, core knowledge and professional values. The framework provides a reference point for institutions and individuals as well as supporting ongoing development within any one standard descriptor.

The UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education

This is a part of a collection of materials developed by the HEAcademy Subject Centre for Languages, linguistics and area studies. The materials provide reflective activities designed to engage teachers with some of the key issues in working with international students and practical ideas for ways in which these can be addressed. They will be of particular interest to new staff or anyone new to working with international students.

Savoirs professionnels en classe de lecture littéraire à l'école

Comment penser la tâche générale prescrite par les programmes français de l’école élémentaire de faire lire des textes de littérature de jeunesse au cycle 3? Cette question peut paraître superflue aux yeux du prescripteur institutionnel. Les maîtres n’ont qu’à enseigner la compréhension du texte littéraire bien utile pour un enseignement de la lecture dans la première étape du curriculum scolaire. Mais elle s’avère nécessaire pour la recherche en didactique si l’objet d’étude est l’activité réelle de l’enseignant. Chargé d’enseigner l’ensemble des disciplines, dont la littérature à l’école élémentaire, le maître agit en situation sociale dans son enseignement qui lui réclame des ressources professionnelles didactiques et pédagogiques pour conduire des séances de lecture littéraire, avec des jeunes lecteurs entre neuf et dix ans. Si la recherche peut aider à cerner la nature et les enjeux de l’activité enseignante, elle peut penser contribuer ainsi à des scénarios de formation des enseignants

ECS Teaching Handbook

This handbook, nominally chapter 3 of the ECS staff handbook, describes ECS educational policy and procedures, as defined and agreed by the school via its various boards and committees. There are sections covering our educational aims and strategy, processes and structures, teaching and learning, pastoral and administrative arrangements, and a glossary. The material here supplements that in the University's quality handbook. (This is the working document which will become our 2009/10 handbook next academic year.)

Innovación educativa en la enseñanza de literatura en la facultad de filología de la UCM en el marco del EEES.

Las siguientes líneas muestran la relevancia de la adquisición de competencia en el manejo de información en el marco del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior y resumen la trayectoria innovadora e investigadora del grupo Literaturas Españolas y Europeas del Texto al Hipertexto (L.E.E.T.Hi.), cuya orientación que tiene como ejes fundamentales los patrones didácticos de la Convergencia Europea y el empleo de los soportes hipertextuales como espacios, no sólo de representación y documentación, sino de generación de nuevas formas de aprendizaje. La investigación de LEETHI se centra en la docencia de las literaturas a través de estos espacios, que generan nuevas formas de lectura y de adquisición de conocimientos de manera asociativa y que, a través de los textos literarios, propician encuentros entre disciplinas y culturas diversas.
