  • using an online tutorial to teach rea data modeling in accounting information systems courses
    Ais Educator Journal, 2017
    Co-Authors: Poh Sun Seow, Gary Pan
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Online learning has been gaining widespread adoption due to its success in enhancing student-learning outcomes and improving student academic performance. This paper describes an online tutorial to teach resource-event-agent (REA) data modeling in an undergraduate accounting information systems course. The REA online tutorial reflects a self-study application designed to help students improve their understanding of the REA data model. As such, the tutorial acts as a supplement to lectures by reinforcing the concepts and incorporating practices to assess student understanding. Instructors can access the REA online tutorial at http://smu.sg/rea. An independent survey by the University's Centre for Teaching Excellence found a significant increase in students' perceived knowledge of REA data modeling after using the REA online tutorial compared to their knowledge prior to using the tutorial. Students also rated their overall satisfaction with and the effectiveness of the REA online tutorial as high.

  • metrics and methodologies for measuring Teaching quality in higher education developing the Teaching Excellence framework tef
    Educational Review, 2018
    Co-Authors: Andrew Gunn
    Abstract:

    AbstractThe creation of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) represents a significant development concerning the Teaching mission of the university in the UK. This paper considers the background to, and the development of, the TEF. It explains the context from which the TEF emerged and unpacks a series of rationales which illustrate the need for, and the role of, the new framework. The TEF is presented as an instrument to fulfil a range of functions, including: a mechanism to determine tuition fee rises and inform student choices in a reconfigured higher education market; a means of updating the quality and regulatory regime; and a way of raising the esteem of Teaching within the academy, and the importance institutions place on student education. The paper explains how the contested idea of “Teaching Excellence” is defined within the framework, and the metrics and methodology used to assess this. An overview of the submission process and results illustrates how the TEF works in practice. How the TEF e...

  • the uk Teaching Excellence framework tef the development of a new transparency tool
    2018
    Co-Authors: Andrew Gunn
    Abstract:

    The results of the first UK Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) were published in 2017, with each HEI receiving a Gold, Silver, or Bronze award. The TEF is comprised of three components: Teaching quality, including student satisfaction; the institutional environment in which students learn; and student outcomes, including the performance of under-represented groups. This new classification, solely assessing the ‘Teaching mission’ of the university produced an unfamiliar hierarchy of institutions. This chapter provides an overview of the rationales for the TEF as set out by policymakers. It also accounts for the development process of a new transparency tool which involved defining and measuring ‘Teaching Excellence’. It argues that the TEF can be viewed as a multi-purpose instrument which seeks to provide accountability (by providing performance data to inform applicant choice and fee rises) and drive improvement (through raising the importance of Teaching and learning within HEIs). The analysis explores where the TEF is situated relative to established Quality Assurance agendas on the one hand, and wider government ambitions to reconfigure the higher education sector on the other. The paper concludes with a summary of what the wider EHEA community can learn from the implementation of the TEF.

  • The English Teaching Excellence (and Student Outcomes) Framework: Intelligent accountability in higher education?
    Journal of Educational Change, 2019
    Co-Authors: Rosemary Deem, Jo-anne Baird
    Abstract:

    This paper explores what underlies the recent introduction of a Higher Education Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) in England. Related changes to the higher education landscape are discussed: the 2017 Higher Education Act and creation of a new HE regulator, the Office for Students. How TEF works and some of the consequences of TEF are outlined. As well as discussing what constitutes Teaching Excellence and what TEF itself is attempting to signal (which includes graduate destinations), we also analyse the underpinning ideologies and logics of choosing metrics to assess Teaching Excellence, albeit accompanied by peer panel evaluation of institutional written submissions, in determining Gold, Silver and Bronze TEF outcomes. We introduce the notion of TEF as an index rather than a measure. It is suggested that what underlies the English TEF is not about improving Teaching but rather an endeavour to pit universities against each other in a highly marketised competitive system with an oversupply of places, in which student debt levels are rising fast. TEF policy is considered with respect to features that would be required of an intelligent accountability system for higher education Teaching quality.
