UK Survey of Academics 2012| Information Literacy Weblog

UK Survey of Academics 2012| Information Literacy Weblog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Last month results of survey of British academics were published. The questionnaire had 3,498 responses. Responses are often presented by broad disciplinary groupings (Humanities./ Social sciences/ Science/ Medicine and veterinary), as they did find disciplinary differences. There were some questions about research (e.g. motivations for choosing research subjects, use of digital tools for quantitative research (though not qualitative, oddly), whether they collaborated in research) and also some questions about the use of technologies in teaching (though I think the options in these questions were a bit limited). There were questions about how the academics started a subject or known item search, preferences between print and digital forms, how they kept up with new developments in the field, use of digital tools etc.

TEL Survey2012 Case studies_FINAL report

The TEL Survey Report highlighted that meeting student expectations was a key driver for TEL development within institutions, ranked the second most important concern after enhancing the quality of learning  and teaching, and this finding is reinforced in the case study interviews. Student expectations and student experience are identified as the main drivers for TEL, and no doubt the recent increase in tuition fees within English institutions and the requirement to demonstrate value for money in service provision have helped to draw attention to the student experience. A couple of institutions also mentioned competitive advantage or ensuring provision matches competitors as drivers. Queen Margaret University mentioned the importance of developing student skills in technology for when they graduate. IIn terms of staff engagement, departmental and/or institutional culture is the main factor affecting uptake of technology to enhance teaching and learning.
