Marrying equity, efficiency and quality: 'the need for third generation' academic development - Chrissie Boughey

Drawing on an analysis of the history of the area of endeavour known, in South Africa, as Academic Development and, internationally, as Educational Development, this article argues the need for a Third Generation model of Academic Development Practice in South Africa. The Third Generation model links Academic Development with quality management and promotion and requires a reconceptualisation of Academic Development practices, the theories which underpin those practices, and the structures in which Academic Development practitioners work and the processes they engage in.
