Overview

Launched in 2019, the Teaching Cultures Survey shines a spotlight on the culture and status of teaching in higher education. Universities participating in the survey are planning or already implementing systemic changes to academic career pathways and the ways in which achievements in university teaching are rewarded. The survey enables them to capture and track the culture and status of teaching across their academic community and compare findings with global peers. The research forms one element of a wider project – the Advancing Teaching initiative – focused on improving the reward and recognition of university teaching. The first two runs of the survey – held in 2019 and 2022 – are now complete. The final survey will be held in 2025.
