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.
We employ a three-pillar strategy to foster a positive scholarship culture among all staff. The three pillars are:
- Infrastructure
- Culture and capability building
- Dissemination and impact
ICMS’s three-pillar scholarship strategy.
The success of the three-pillar strategy depends heavily on sustained commitment from all our academic staff. Together, we can make a positive impact with our scholarly work.
ICMS’s four categories of scholarship:
Original research
This research is relevant to the disciplines that the staff member teaches at ICMS (for example, business management, tourism, event and hospitality, sports, property development, investment and valuation, and IT). It might be in the form of peer-reviewed journal articles, books or book chapters. See the latest staff 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. It might be in the form of peer review for the development of a course or subject, teaching practices, or validation for assessment design. 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, which is particularly pertinent to ICMS’s industry-focused strategy. It might be in the form of a consultancy report for a business, standard, guideline or knowledge resource development, conference or symposium keynote, and media feature or interview. Read about our scholarly impact activities.
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. It might be in the form of community service projects, supervision of student volunteer programs or not-for-profit community events.
