Learning and Teaching Symposium 2018

Learning and Teaching Symposium 2018

Westminster Pedagogy: Making a Difference

The Westminster Learning and Teaching Symposium is an opportunity for staff to share innovations, contribute to debates and build networks and collaborations.
In its first year of operation, Westminster’s Centre for Teaching Innovation met, networked and consulted across the University with staff who teach and support learning and teaching and elicited that teaching and learning at Westminster has three key areas of distinctiveness:

  1. Transformative Learning and Teaching (e.g. critical pedagogies, digital learning, collaborative learning, cross disciplinarily, learner autonomy, innovative feedback etc.)
  2. Diversity and Inclusion (e.g. valuing difference, co-creation, partnership, intercultural learning, multilingual learning, internationalising the curriculum etc.)
  3. Inspirational Professional Practice (e.g. experiential, questioning, practice-focused learning etc.)

This year’s Symposium provided an opportunity to explore in more detail these areas of distinctiveness and took place on 26 June 2018 at the Marylebone campus.

Keynote

The keynote this year was delivered by Tansy Jessop who is Professor of Research Informed Teaching at Southampton Solent University. She thrives on developing intellectual curiosity in students through linking research and teaching, and through valuing the pedagogic relationship. In a climate of metrics, markets and mass higher education, Tansy believes in articulating a counter-cultural purpose for higher education. She leads the ‘Transforming the Experience of Students through Assessment’ (TESTA) research and change process, strengthening programme approaches to assessment in more than 50 universities in the UK, India and Australia. Tansy’s interest in student learning is driven by democratic and participatory approaches to pedagogy. She began her career as a secondary school teacher in South Africa, completing a PhD on teacher development in rural KwaZulu-Natal in 1997. She has published on social justice in education, narrative inquiry, learning spaces, and assessment and feedback, technology and is working up a few pieces on research informed teaching and curriculum.
