Project aims and strategy¶
Aims¶
This project aims to:
Revise the existing scholarship of teaching and learning around peer-observation of teaching, particularly when applied to a higher-education context.
Gain evidence-based insights into the existing best practices for implementing peer-observation as a professional development tool as opposed to a quality assurance tool.
Reflect on the current implementations of peer-observation within the School of Environmental Sciences and the PGCAP program of the University of Liverpool in light of the insights gained.
Highlight examples of good practice in the above-mentioned implementations and make informed recommendations for areas of improvement.
Investigation strategy¶
The investigation will be conducted through non-systematic literature review and reflection. Relevant studies will be sourced through scholarly search engines and existing citations within the discovered literature. Special attention will be paid to more recent studies, particularly those taking online education environments into account. A systematic review would have been ideal but given the time constraints and scope of this project within the ADVE710 module workload, the chose approach was found to be more suitable.
