- Abstract: This paper contends that one key reason for the lack of adoption of comprehensive change models based in higher education (HE) teaching and learning is that they lack a strong theoretical underpinning, thus potentially impeding their effectiveness in dealing with the complexities of human and organisational behaviour. Change theories that articulate the specific roles and influences of context, time and key actors in the change process are interrogated to highlight barriers to sustainable change in HE. A new theoretical framework for sustainable change is proposed that integrates these change theories in the context of HE professional disciplines. The findings provide several recommendations for university management in implementing change models including the provision of reciprocal feedback loops, enhanced learning for staff and students through scaffolding, developing workplace and professional networks, and implementing study and work unit flexibility.

Les théories du changement qui articulent les rôles et influences spécifiques du contexte, du temps et des acteurs clés dans le processus de changement sont interrogées pour mettre en évidence les obstacles au changement durable dans l'enseignement supérieur. Un nouveau cadre théorique du changement durable est proposé qui intègre ces théories du changement dans le contexte des disciplines professionnelles de l'enseignement supérieur. Les résultats fournissent plusieurs recommandations pour la direction de l'université dans la mise en œuvre de modèles de changement, notamment la fourniture de boucles de rétroaction réciproques, l'amélioration de l'apprentissage pour le personnel et les étudiants grâce à des échafaudages, le développement de réseaux professionnels et de travail et la mise en œuvre de la flexibilité des études et des unités de travail. … (more)
