SU Teaching Fellowships
A proposal for the creation of teaching fellowships at Stellenbosch University was accepted at a Senate meeting in 2009. The University has successfully awarded ten fellowships to date. This programme is an excellent opportunity to consolidate and extend expertise with regard to teaching and learning at the faculty or departmental level.
Aims
- To enhance the stature of teaching and learning at Stellenbosch University
- To provide an opportunity for selected academics to develop their teaching expertise
- To stimulate the growth of the scholarship of teaching and learning at the University
- To provide the opportunity for a systematic, rigorous and reflective approach towards teaching and teaching innovation at the University.
A University fellowship scheme is intended to convey prestige and provide support for selected academics to focus for a stipulated period of time on the practice and scholarship of teaching. The scheme will make provision for a minimum of one award per annum. The fellowship scheme provides the opportunity for excellent teachers and scholars of teaching and learning to spend more consistent periods of time, with various forms of support, to focus on aspects of renewal, exploration and dissemination of good practice within Departments and Faculties.
The individual will remain in his or her Department, but will focus on aspects of teaching and learning that will enhance his or her teaching and contribute to the development of the scholarship of teaching and learning in the department and faculty. The project is managed by the CTL.
National TAU (Teaching Advancement at Universities) Fellowships
The TAU (Teaching Advancement at Universities) Fellowships Programme was initiated in 2015 as a collaborative project between several South African universities under the aegis of HELTASA (Higher Education Learning and Teaching Association of Southern Africa) and with the support of the CHE (Council for Higher Education). It is funded by the DHET (Department of Higher Education and Training).
Aims
- To contribute towards the enhancement of teaching and learning in higher education in South Africa by supporting the development of a cadre of academics across institutions and disciplines as scholars, leaders and mentors in their fields
- To enhance the status and stature of teaching and further popularise the concept of teaching excellence
- To contribute towards the definition of what teaching excellence means in varied institutional settings.
The Fellowships are awarded in two-year cycles. Up to three nominees per institution may be put forward. Nominees must have at least a doctorate and be in a senior lecturer position. A national committee selects the candidates.
