Scholarship and Scholarly Practice Framework
ICMS’s Scholarship and Scholarly Practice Framework aims to build a strong scholarship culture. This supports our vision of producing industry-focused quality education and student outcomes.
We’re committed to ensuring that staff with academic leadership, teaching and supervisory positions are equipped for their role in their courses of study through continuing scholarship work, research activities or advances in practice.
Scholarship informs our learning, teaching and assessment practices, ultimately benefiting students, the academia, industry and the community.
Our approach is structured around three core pillars:
- Infrastructure
- Culture and capability building
- Dissemination and impact
ICMS three-pillar scholarship strategy
The success of the three-pillar strategy depends on sustained commitment from all academic staff. Together, we can amplify the impact of our scholarly endeavour.
ICMS’s four categories of scholarship:
Original research
This research is relevant to the disciplines taught at ICMS, such as business management, tourism, event and hospitality, sports, property development, investment and valuation, and IT. The outputs may include peer-reviewed journal articles, books or book chapters. See the latest academic scholarship and research activities.
Learning and teaching
This includes activities that inform learning and teaching practices, for example curriculum and assessment design, student engagement and academic integrity. Outputs may include peer-reviewed course or subject development and teaching practices informed by scholarship, including assessment redesign. Explore our Learning and Teaching principles.
Industry or professional practice
This encompasses scholarly contribution to industries that are directly related to the disciplines we teach, aligned with ICMS’s industry-focused strategy. Examples include a consultancy report for a business; standard, guideline or knowledge resource development; conference or symposium keynote presentations; and media features or interviews. Read the ICMS Scholarly Impact publications.
Civic engagement
This is engagement that involves conducting scholarship in collaboration with community partners to address community-defined challenges, generate knowledge, and inform community action. Examples include community service projects, supervision of student volunteer programs, or not-for-profit community events.
