Academic Archetypes

2 September 2025

Start date: May 2020                             Completion date: November 2022

Abstract

The project will establish the first empirically derived archetypes of academics working in Australian universities. Archetypes can help academic development units in Australia’s universities to determine priorities and goals without bias or assumptions. The archetypes can be used to inform the design and delivery of resources, products and services that support academics in their teaching practice and provide professional learning opportunities related to learning and teaching. This project will therefore directly support CAULLT’s mission to “enhance the quality of learning and teaching in Australasia”. The project will directly address Goal 6 of the CAULLT Goals for 2019-2021: Advance and support professional learning in learning and teaching through the development of an evidence base set of archetypes that can be used by CAULLT members.
