Combined and anonymised survey findings taken from across all participating institutions which will be made available after the close of each of the three survey runs

2022 survey findings

The Teaching Cultures Survey 2022 is the second of three cross-sectional surveys designed to capture and track the culture and status of teaching within universities worldwide.

This report highlights consolidated findings from the 16 universities across eight countries that participated in the Teaching Cultures Survey 2022, including three new institutions that joined the survey for this run (11,614 academics in total). The report focuses on the ways in which survey findings have changed over time, between 2019 and 2022. The 2022 survey comes in the wake of an extended period of ‘emergency teaching’ across the higher education sector prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2019 survey findings

This report highlights consolidated findings from 15,659 academics who participated in the 2019 Teaching Cultures Survey, taken from 21 universities across 10 countries. Launched in 2019, the Teaching Cultures Survey is designed to explore the culture and status of teaching in higher education. Most 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 university teaching amongst their academic community and compare findings with global peers.

Institutional findings

Participating universities will be provided with the survey findings from their institution; these findings are strictly confidential and will not be shared elsewhere

On completion of each survey run, participating universities will be provided with:

(i) a report outlining the key outcomes for each institution, mapped alongside the amalgamated data for all institutions;

(ii) a spreadsheet of aggregated findings for each survey question, cut by role, gender, discipline, length of employment at the university, and level of focus on teaching. Where the number of survey participants in a particular group (e.g. a discipline group) is small, categories will be combined to protect anonymity

Both items will be strictly confidential and will be shared only with the project's institutional and administrative lead from the university in question at the close of each survey stage.
