The Power of Collegiality in Developing Higher Education

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter is a commentary on the book as a whole. Based on the overall PeTS project, the empirical findings from the four educational settings and the conceptual portions of the book, this chapter focuses on three specific aspects of peer group mentoring: the move from teaching as a private matter to teaching as a collegial responsibility, the relationship between collegiality and peer group mentoring and the relationship between collegiality and teaching and learning cultures. Previous research shows that these aspects are considered vital in supporting the professional development of university teachers in their local disciplinary/departmental context and in promoting the development of teaching and learning in the academic organisation. Some considerations for future research are also noted, including the need for and role of documentation of learning through peer group mentoring and role of multilevel leadership in it.
