Teaching Approach
All of my teaching is at Masters level and for the most part, I teach university teachers about learning theory. I ask a lot of my students and expect them to draw on their own experience of teaching and learning and to be able to theorise their academic practice. I try to ensure that my own research is featured in my teaching and since I have a particular interest in dialogic theory, I try to find ways that lecturers can participate in the dialogues of Higher Education through their learning and the completion of assignment tasks.
I have special respect for the work of Peter Jarvis, Noel Entwistle and Joseph Novak, these researchers having influenced my own work deeply. I recommend the following texts as a general background to most of my teaching and research:
Bakhtin, M.M. (1986) Speech Genres and Other Late Essays, Ed. C. Emerson & M. Holquist, Trans, W. Vern. (University of Texas Press, Austin, Texas).
Entwistle, N. (2007) Research into student learning and university teaching, in: N. Entwistle & P. Tomlinson (Eds) Student Learning and University Teaching, British Journal of Educational Psychology, Monographs, Series II, pp 1-18.
Research - King's Research Profile
I am a Senior Lecturer in Higher Education and leader for the e-Learning team in King's Learning Institute.
My current research is rooted in the study of teaching and learning in Higher Education and I am interested in the use of technology to enable the pedagogies of university teaching and learning. For nearly a decade, Dr Ian Kinchin and I have been working to develop a new approach to concept mapping theory and practice that draws on the notion of dialogism in Higher Education. Much of my research is currently done in partnerships with lecturing staff at King's College London and we are currently funded by the Higher Education Academy to use concept mapping to facilitate learning in Neuroscience, History, Classics, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and several other disciplines.
