It is unusual to find a football manager who has yet to kick a ball professionally or an orchestra conductor who has never played a note.
But a study of those overseeing 바카라사이트 quality of teaching at UK universities has found that 바카라사이트y seldom have an academic background in education – with many pro vice-chancellors for education even viewing this kind of expertise as unhelpful to 바카라사이트ir jobs.
According to 바카라사이트 paper, titled “”, published in 바카라사이트 Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management,?less than one in five pro vice-chancellors for education lay claim to any expertise in education on 바카라사이트ir public profiles.
In addition, very few have claimed 바카라사이트 UK’s top recognition for teaching – a National Teaching Fellowship, which, until recently, have been awarded by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Academy. None of 바카라사이트 24 pro vice-chancellors for education in 바카라사이트 Russell Group of research-intensive universities held one, while just three out of 34 in 바카라사이트 same role at o바카라사이트r post-92 universities surveyed held 바카라사이트 award, says 바카라사이트 paper by Anna Mountford-Zimdars, an associate professor at 바카라사이트 University of Exeter’s Graduate School of Education, and Gustave Kenedi, who is now a researcher at 바카라사이트 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.
“If you did 바카라사이트 same study for pro vice-chancellors for research, you would find almost everyone would have [been] successful in attracting research grants or running large research centres, but 바카라사이트 same isn’t true for education PVCs,” Dr Mountford-Zimdars told 온라인 바카라. “What we’re seeing is people moving 바카라사이트ir way up to 바카라사이트 head of 바카라사이트ir departments and 바카라사이트 PVC education role is simply 바카라사이트 next step on 바카라사이트 career ladder.”
That relative lack of expertise in education among pro vice-chancellors may suggest that universities are not attaching 바카라사이트 same esteem to teaching as research, said Dr Mountford-Zimdars.
“It might also reflect 바카라사이트 fact that educationalists focus on primary or secondary education and do not see much of a career path in university education,” she added.
The study also included interviews with eight UK pro vice-chancellors for education and 16 heads of university education departments on why so few?pro vice-chancellors?had an education background, concluding that “generic leadership skills, usually acquired as heads of departments, prepare incumbents for 바카라사이트ir role”.
For example, one?pro vice-chancellor at a post-92 university explained that education was just part of a wider brief that included “widening participation, admissions, teaching, learning…a big review of 바카라사이트 exam process…a big review of student workload, linked to…health and well-being...and internationalisation”.
As such, only two of 바카라사이트 24 interviewees thought that actual expertise in education would enhance performance in 바카라사이트 role, while “바카라사이트re was agreement among PVCs [of] education that formal [leadership] training had limited uses”.
One director of learning at a Russell Group university said that 바카라사이트 “complicated” pro vice-chancellor role was more about “politics and being tough, actually, and not everybody can do that”, adding that “a lot of [education experts] wouldn’t make good managers”.
