The (Proposed) Teaching Excellence Framework: Whose world-view is this anyway?
Online registration has now closed. If you want to attend this event, please email events@bera.ac.uk for details of how to register onsite.
This BERA Higher Education SIG event provides the opportunity to discuss views and perspectives on the proposed TEF and other aspects of the recent Green Paper Fulfilling our Potential: Teaching Excellence, Social Mobility and Student Choice.
The day will be in two parts – the morning session will feature four presentations from colleagues, each with their particular perspectives and showcasing key research that reflect the themes and possible impact of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) however it may be defined.
The afternoon session will take the form of a critical discussion around issues arising from the Autumn and Spring issues of BERA Research Intelligence, 2015/16 on the TEF (URLS will be circulated in advance).
A report of the presentations and summary of discussions will then be submitted to Research Intelligence with a view to continuing to construct an alternative/amended proposition, for practitioners by practitioners in the field.
