National Teaching Fellows 2012 Professor Rachel McCrindle Professor of Computer and Human Interaction and Director of Enterprise, School of Systems Engineering University of Reading Professor Rachel McCrindle’s roles and responsibilities at the University are multi-faceted. In addition to undertaking research projects, leading research teams and engaging with industry on enterprise related projects, she supervises student projects and lectures on a range of computing and engineering related subjects. Rachel’s teaching is informed by the research she undertakes as well as by her work with external organisations to identify, define and implement highly strategic systems/business processes critical to their future direction and/or performance. Rachel is passionate about the value that knowledge transfer projects can bring to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), global companies and new graduates, as well as to university research and teaching. In 2010 she was awarded the Knowledge Transfer Partnership’s (KTP) Academic Excellence Award. By combining and embedding principles of research, enterprise, entrepreneurial activity and professional issues into her teaching, Rachel actively seeks to inspire students to be independent learners. She also aims to give them real-world skills in addition to the rigorous academic techniques they need for the modern workplace thereby enhancing their employability. One key example of this is the assignment she has developed for a first-year module during which her students go through an engineering process themselves. They develop board games that incorporate the principles of software engineering in such a way that if someone else plays their game, they too learn about software engineering, thereby reinforcing learning on several levels. As well as developing their technical knowledge, Rachel’s processes are designed so that the students also enhance their softer skills. These skills include teamwork, time management, presentation, design and development, creative thinking and critical evaluation. All of these, while key to software engineering, also make a valuable contribution to other modules and experiences they will encounter during their degree, industrial placements and graduate employment. The innovation of this as an approach to teaching was recognised nationally when Rachel won the HEA Engineering Subject Centre’s Teaching Award in 2010. 36
Dr Undrell Moore Senior Lecturer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Newcastle University Dr Undrell Moore teaches oral and maxillofacial surgery to a wide range of learners with the main emphasis on dental undergraduates at the very start of their clinical career. He strives to ensure that his students learn to take responsibility for their decision making and clinical treatments. Since arriving at Newcastle he has enhanced the system of learning and teaching in the clinical environment which has helped to focus the learning experience with the emphasis on student centred teaching. The changes to the course have been enthusiastically received by students, who thrive on the challenges inherent in this clinical environment. Comments include: “I loved it. Can’t wait to come back. Lovely environment, lovely helpful people” and “Best time yet in 3rd year!” As part of the course development he initiated a portfolio which formed the basis of the essential feedback required to allow students to become their own teachers and engage in the process of lifelong learning. Undrell has been instrumental in resurrecting a defunct textbook, Principles of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, as editor, to support the teaching in Newcastle. The fifth edition was republished in 2001 and subsequently translated into Portuguese for the Brazilian market. A sixth edition was published in 2011 and continues to offer an educational aid based on the broad guiding principles of safe diagnosis and practice over the range of the specialty. He has also contributed to two other textbooks in his specialty. Undrell has been the chair of the Stage 3 examination in dental materials and clinical dental subjects for the past ten years in which time the examination has been radically changed from a traditional written paper to a series of in-course assessments and objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE). He has become increasingly interested in the achievement and assessment of competence in the clinical undergraduate and his workshops have led to international involvement in dental education through the Association of Dental Education in Europe (ADEE). In 2010 he was invited to help lead a Special Interest Group within ADEE in competence assessment which is helping to establish the dissemination of good practice across countries and specialties. 37
