Content:
The SUTQ offers you the opportunity to work on an educational innovation project of your own choice. Through conducting this project, you will develop competencies in using evidenceinformed approaches in education and in participating in a community of practice where ideas and experiences are shared with peers within and outside the university. For little over one year, you will conduct an educational design research project to improve and innovate (your own) educational practice. The project can be performed individually or in a small team (with you in the lead). This is supported by supervision, peer review, methodology workshops, writing sessions, small group meetings with a coach, and participation in the SUTQ community.
Result:
The successful completion of the SUTQ will help you develop towards a Scholarly Teacher, following the Career Framework of University Teaching by Ruth Graham. This framework is integrated into the UTs Talent Map 3.0. The SUTQ is one of the ways to work towards the next step in your career. The Scholarly Teacher should be able to make “a significant contribution to pedagogical knowledge by engaging with and contributing to scholarly research which, in turn, influences educational practice within and beyond their institution".
Organisation:
The project typically spans over the course of 1.5 years, based on your implementation timeline and it will take up to approx. 200hr to complete in total. There are two options to start per year, and it depends on the timing of your target course which you should choose. The implementation phase of your project and run of the course should align.
Option 1: you start in February, this will mean implementing your new design and collecting evaluation data in Q1 or Q2 of the next academic year. Option 2: you start in July, you will implement and evaluate in Q3 or Q4 of the next academic year.
