Prof.
Crawford’s Significant Institutional Contribution to:
University of
Wolverhampton Business School, and
University of
Greenwich Business School
Significant Institutional Contribution:
University of Wolverhampton Business School:
His
roles within the University of Wolverhampton Business School
incorporated:
Doctoral Research Supervisor.
Head of Human Resource Management;
Head of Organisational Behaviour;
Module Leader;
Postgraduate Research Supervisor;
Undergraduate Research Supervisor;
In his capacity as Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) of Human
Resource Management and Organisational Behaviour, he made the
following Significant Contributions:
Enhanced the People Management Course, editing the Inhouse Course
Book, published by the Courseware Development Unit. It became the
required text, that all students studying the module were required
to purchase. People Management grew in popularity and was a Core
Module, in most Schools within the University, including:
Wolverhampton Business School,
Wolverhampton School of Art
School of Humanities
School of Sciences
University of Wolverhampton Law School
Conducted a series of
Empirical
Research, from which he produced several articles. In one
academic year, He presented thirteen
(13) different Papers at thirteen (13) International Conferences,
leading to Published Conference Proceedings and Refereed Journal
Articles. His Empirical Research Dissemination contributed greatly
to the University’s International Popularity, improving its HFCE
Rating and Times Higher Education Rank.
He boosted Student Recruitment, by:
The Creation of Videos about the University and the Business School,
Individual Programmes and Modules, packed with interviews with, and
comments, from, lecturers, current and past students;
Reorganising Open Days, to facilitate the use of the pre-recorded
videos with comments from lecturers and students, regarding modules
and courses;
Staging of Road Shows, in different counties and countries,
utilising the video-resources that he previously created, along with
pre-printed booklets;
Visiting schools and colleges, to provide prospective students with
taster sessions of the courses that they were likely to study at our
university;
Positioning a panel of lecturers and students who addressed
questions from prospective students, in real-time, regarding their
chosen courses and programmes.
He
enhanced his colleagues’ teaching and research capability by:
Providing them and external colleges with PowerPoint Presentations,
for their lectures;
Developing Lecture Guide for all areas;
Developing Seminar Activities, for each topic in Organisational
Behaviour and Human Resource Management;
Holding Standardisation Meetings, prior to their marking of essays
and examinations;
Moderate Assignment and Examination Marks;
Helping them to construct Multiple-Choice Questions;
Designing several Banks of Multiple-Choice Examinations;
Helping them to develop and utilise Detailed Objective Marking
Schemes, for use with assignments, examinations and dissertations;
Supporting them in their Research-Specific Professional Development.
His input was particularly important for them because
the Dean had established an ultimatum for all pre-existing staff,
with undergraduate qualifications and below, to gain a Postgraduate
Degree. Several of them, who made efforts to comply with the Dean’s
stipulation, had problems with their dissertation. While his
Research Methods Classes were open to them, they were intimidated
to attend them, with the students whom they also taught. In their
support, he wrote a series of articles on Research Methods, that he
shared with them, as well as with his students. He also gave them
some relevant coaching. They succeeded in completing and submitting
their dissertations, some receiving their Awards just before the
expiration of the deadline that the Dean had established.
Helping some to develop proposals for their Doctoral Research;
Provided them with needed guidance in the students’ Dissertation
Supervision. This measure incorporated the use of annotations and
the provision of guidance and written comments to students;
Contributing to Research Seminars, for the benefit of those with
limited research exposure.
Significant Institutional Contribution:
University of Greenwich Business School
In the University of Greenwich Business School, he was a Programme
Leader, Personal Tutor, Head of Human Resource Management and
Organisational Behaviour, as well as Undergraduate and Postgraduate
Research Supervisor. He was also expected to deliver Conference
Papers and submit Journal Articles. Most of his colleagues, who were
not research-active had a heavy teaching load and script-marking
schedule. Marking had to be done within a narrow window, to
facilitate external marking and Examination Boards.
At the end of each Semester, most lecturers were locked away in a
Hall, where they marked and moderated scripts, from within the
University and its Affiliate Colleges. He resolved their most
pressing problems, those of preparing and delivering lectures,
conducting seminars, and marking examination scripts, by:
Providing his colleagues and external colleges with PowerPoint
Presentations, for their lectures, accompanied by Lecturer Guide and
Seminar Activities, for Organisational Behaviour and Human Resource
Management;
Teaching them to develop ‘Objective marking Schemes’;
Helping them to construct Multiple-Choice Questions;
Designing Banks of Multiple-Choice Examinations;
Designing a Computerised Answer Sheet;
Working with his Information and Communication Technologies’
Colleagues to develop a program that was capable of perfecting the
following:
Read the Computerised Answer-Sheets;
Record correct responses;
Calculate the marks;
Enter the marks on individual student’s profile.
His colleagues, who observed that ‘life at the Business School had
never been more pleasant, greatly appreciated his effort. They were
highly motivated, translating in their improved lecture quality,
greater student-interaction and enhanced overall results. As are
exemplified, below, his Institutional Contribution, also included
students.
When he assumed the Combined Honours’ Programme Leadership, at the
University of Greenwich, there was a high failure rate among
first-year Combined Honours Students, consequent to their choice of
inappropriate courses. The problem was not uncovered until Semester
2, when it was normally too late to change courses. This issue is
exemplified by those who studied a half programme in Computing, with
Information Systems, but who had little Mathematical Aptitude.
Because the problem was detected only towards the end of the Second
Semester (Year 1), they faced failure and resit, which, in most
cases, also resulted in failure.
In an effort to reduce the frustration among students and improve
our retention, and eventual pass rate, in that year, he worked with
other Programme Leaders and Personal Tutors to change their
problematic half programmes. Lecturers agreed to provide additional
support for them to sit some modules during that Semester, while he
championed their cause, at the subsequent Examination Board, to
enable them to carry over any failure to Year 2. We arranged their
Years 1 and 2 Timetables, avoiding clashes. They all succeeded, in
both years, progressing to Year 3, several achieving 1st Class and
2.1 Award, on Graduation.
Following our unfortunate experience, detailed above, he worked with
his colleagues, to provide clear guidance to all students,
particularly those of Combined Honours, regarding the changing
expectations of their courses. We also instituted a Report System,
wherein Module Leaders provided frequent feedback to Programme
Leaders and Personal Tutors, on the progress of their students,
prior to their End of Semester Examinations. This measure
facilitated their provision of the necessary support, to students,
where necessary, thereby drastically increasing their success rate.
Because he developed his colleagues to be more self-reliant, they,
eventually, demanded less of his time, thereby allowing me to devote
much of his effort to Research, Research Training, Conference
Attendance and Journal Publications. His overall support for his
colleagues and students greatly enhanced the University’s HEFCE
Rating, and ‘Times Higher Education (THE) Rank’.
