Why academics in an Australian university want teaching-focused roles
Differences in how teaching-focused roles are envisaged are evident in two main narratives, deficit-based and strength-based, that appear in the literature, often together. Few studies have explored academics’ motivation to change to teaching-focused roles. This paper examines 45 applications for 12-month secondments to teaching-focused roles at an Australian university received between 2019 and 2021. Summative content analysis was used to build …

This paper presents a conceptual framework for intern…
