Lecturer professional development (LPD) plays an important part in promoting student achievement and education quality improvement. At Ha Tinh Univerisity (HTU), Vietnam, the CDIO - based curriculum has been implemented since 2016 in different study programs. In order to make it succeed, LPD is considered a key measure. This qualitative case-study research aims to investigate the perceptions of HTU managers and the lecturers on LPD related to the CDIO based curriculum implementation using the data from the interviews, questionnaires and the documents. Significance of LPD related closely to the CDIO-based curriculum implementation is highly appreciated by HTU managers and lecturers.

BackgroundHealthcare quality improvement (QI) efforts are ongoing but often create modest improvement. While knowledge about factors, tools and processes that encourage QI is growing, research has not attended to the need to disrupt established ways of working to facilitate QI efforts.ObjectiveTo examine how a QI initiative can disrupt professionals’ established way of working through a study of the Alberta Stroke Quality Improvement and Clinical Research (QuICR) Door-to-Needle Initiative.DesignA multisite, qualitative case study, with data collected through semistructured interviews and focus groups. Inductive data analysis allowed findings to emerge from the data and supported the generation of new insights.FindingsIn stroke centres where improvements were realised, professionals’ established understanding of the clinical problem and their belief in the adequacy of existing treatment approaches shifted—they no longer believed that their established understanding and treating the clinical problem were appropriate. This shift occurred as participants engaged in specific activities to improve quality. We identify these activities as ones that create urgency, draw professionals away from regular work and encourage questioning about established processes. These activities constituted disrupting action in which both clinical and non-clinical persons were engaged.ConclusionsDisrupting action is an important yet understudied element of QI. Disrupting action can be used to create gaps in established ways of working and may help encourage professionals’ involvement and support of QI efforts. While non-clinical professionals can be involved in disrupting action, it needs to engage clinical professionals on their own terms.

Welcome to the first issue of the Journal of University Learning and Teaching Practice for 2017. This issue contains six papers that broadly cover topics related to assessment, educational collaborations, academic development and social media The first two papers in this issue have a focus on assessment. In the first paper, Francis examines and evaluates the link between assessment rubrics and student performance and evidences the importance of students engaging with and discussing assessment rubrics. The paper presents practical suggestions for effectively using rubrics and fostering improved student performance and engagement. In the second paper Tadesse, Manathunga and Gillies broadly examine the perceptions of a range of stakeholders in higher education in Ethiopia, on the quality of their experiences of teaching, learning, assessment and review. A qualitative case study design was used and found that recent quality improvement efforts in Ethiopia have been more focused on quality assurance than quality improvement. The recommendations of this study suggest the need for internal system enhancement, adoption of formative assessment and support and ownership of those working in the sector and responsible for quality improvement.

Qualitative case study research can be a valuable tool for answering complex, real-world questions. This method is often misunderstood or neglected due to a lack of understanding by researchers and reviewers. This tutorial defines the characteristics of qualitative case study research and its application to a broader understanding of stuttering that cannot be defined through other methodologies. This article will describe ways that data can be collected and analyzed.
