Educational development: research,


evaluation and changing practice in
higher education
Ranald Macdonald

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

This book arose out of a conference organized by the Staff and Educational
Development Association (SEDA) and the Society for Research into Higher
Education (SRHE) Educational Development Research Network in April
1999. The conference, entitled ‘Research and Practice in Educational
Development(s): Exploring the links’, sought to enable participants to share
experiences of practice, research and policy in all types of educational
developments, encompassing a variety of techniques and technologies. The
conference was aimed at, and attracted, teachers in higher education, learning
support staff, educational developers, academics and managers with
responsibility for teaching and learning policy developments, researchers, and
independent educational consultants.
A subsequent call for chapters resulted in offers from a diverse range of
contexts, though with the emphasis weighted towards funded projects. The
decision was taken by the editors to reflect this emphasis, with some
alternative, non project-based, examples of educational development to act
as a contrast.

What educational development is

Educational development is the term which has become most widely used in
the UK, partly to distinguish it from staff (‘faculty’ in the US) development,
but also to mean ‘academic’, ‘professional’ or other similar terms. What they
all have in common is some notion of activities that are concerned with
‘sustaining and enhancing the quality of learning and teaching within the
institution’ (Hounsell, 1994). Webb (1996a) chooses to use the term ‘staff
development’, while acknowledging that ‘staff development in tertiary
