CESA Discussion Paper No. 47

Summary of PowerPoint Presentation at Vienna

University of Economics and Business

Submitted by Anthony G. Shannon and Jacob G. Munday
Abstract
The Boyer model of scholarship is misunderstood at several levels. The categories can be distinguished, but not necessarily separated. This can result in non-traditional scholarly activity which is not always appreciated externally by granting bodies and regulatory authorities, and interiorly by CEOs and academics who do not see scholarly activity which informs teaching as essential, particularly when the nature of the research is non-routine, or the scope is industry-oriented: such as in business, management and accounting, or with fractional staff from accounting firms and banks.

Research Assessment Issues: 

    Scholarly Report/Research Thesis/

    ​Dissertation Assessment Guidelines

Submitted by Emeritus Professor A G (Tony) Shannon, CESA Academic Dean
Introduction
 
This document is a first attempt to try to help students in their initial research efforts, such as capstone projects. They frequently find the structure of such reports difficult and cannot interpret what it means to go more deeply into something that that they have already written.
 
Another motivation was that I have examined doctoral theses from three different universities in recent months, and the guidance is often quite vague; this can make the examination process unreliable. I have read dozens of such theses over many years and am aware of my likes and dislikes, but they may differ from the other examiners. The variability of marking schemes can contribute to the unreliability of the process especially when external examiners are engaged to safeguard standards of validity and levels of achievement.
 
Many of our members are research candidates for higher degrees and many are supervisors and advisors and external examiners for such degrees. The purpose of these guidelines is to attempt to improve the reliability of research degree examinations. It has been prompted from acting as external examiner for many different universities with seemingly quite different expectations for the HDR assessment processes. Thus, these suggestions are intended for discussion among candidates, supervisors and examiners.

Scribite Scientes . . . Write, Ye Learned Men!

The Worshipful Company of Scriveners

Submitted by Peter Forster
Reproduced from CESA Report "73," Volume 1, Number 12, Pages 26 - 28
Introduction
The early records of the City of London reveal little about the “good men of the mistery of writers of court letter”.  These writers or scriveners (a form of spelling dating from Butler 1680) were professionals – bound by a code of ethics and of standards of performance, although they practised from “shoppes” in the City of London and elsewhere, “…I did resort ‘to a scriveners shoppe’ to have a letter written to my wife’s mother” (1602).

Capstone Units and Student Folio Presentations

     with particular emphasis on industry collaboration &

     the scholarship of teaching

Submitted by Emeritus Professor Tony Shannon AM
Introduction
Capstone units seem to be increasing in popularity as a step from undergraduate study into the world of employment, particularly during the COVIC-19 remote teaching periods [8,9]. Their assessment with folio reports also seems to enrich the realism, especially in commercial subjects.

What is your favorite teaching tip?

Everyone has a favorite teaching tip?  What is yours?

When I was teaching (I'm a full-time administrator now), I taught university seniors who would become business teachers the following semester.  My favorite tip was to model my classroom under the same guiding principles as they would be facing as teachers.  In other words, I didn't have assignment deadlines.  Instead, the students were assigned a mock teaching date near the end of the semerster/term.  They were required to provide me with all of their materials on the day that they taught.  This included:
  • A detailed lesson plan
  • A copy of their presentation materials
  • An explanation of how they would be teaching the foundational vocabulary, the way they would teach the content knowledge, and the gaols for how the students would use the content knowledge
  • A copy of all student handouts
  • A copy of all assessments with an answer key and rubric
  • A reflection of the planning process
We worked on these items for about 10 weeks and the students received feedback from me along the way, but nothing was "due" until the day that they taught.  This was the only way I could simulate the planning process for their own classroom of the future when they were in charge.  There would not be a professor telling them to have the lesson completed by a specific date.
