 IBSTPI Instructor Competencies validation study - Online, F2F, and blended
30 September 2019

The International Board of Standards for Training, Performance, and Instruction (IBSTPI) is updating its previously international validated and published set of Instructor Competencies (2004). Last year, we began our initial validation study and we now are seeking additional responses. If you have instructor responsibilities and/or manage other staff with such responsibilities, we would be very grateful for your participation. (If you previously responded to the survey, we greatly appreciate your time, but there is no need to respond again.) 

We expect that it should take approximately 30 minutes of your time. Those who complete the survey before the deadline of September 30, 2019 can enter a drawing for a chance to win one of 10 complete sets of the IBSTPI competencies and performance statements. 

To access the survey, please click here: https://sdsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bfsXUwQpUcnZUP3?Source=HERDSA

2019 Symposium: Capabilities and Capitals: Implications for Students’ Persistence and Success at University
Registrations open until 8 November

This symposium will bring together key thinkers and scholars who have applied the capability theory (Sen 1992, 1993) and capital theory (Bourdieu, 1986, 1993) across disciplines to consider how this framing may assist us to reconceptualise student persistence.

We know little about how learners draw on ‘internal capabilities’ (Nussbaum, 2011) when persisting in university; these capabilities are not innate but develop in interaction with the individual’s environment (social, cultural, familial and political). To contribute alternative perspectives on the issue of student participation and retention, this symposium deliberately shifts attention away from deficit views of student cohorts and instead utilises the Capability Approach and Capital Theories to understand the ways in which students successfully navigate higher education and reach graduation.

Held over two days (21 and 22 November, 2019), this symposium will be of interest to HE researchers/scholars, equity/widening participation stakeholders, academic staff, policy makers, not-for profit/community organisations.
