Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of institution-wide curriculum reform on a multi-disciplinary group of teaching-focused aca-demics. Using the participatory action research method of co-operative inquiry, the study contributes several insights for supporting academic development during curriculum change. It highlights that teaching focused academics place high value on student engagement as both a driver and consequence of their teaching during curriculum reforms. The inquiry also demonstrates how shifting perceptions of student engagement can precipitate concomitant shifts in academic teaching identities. We conclude that collaborative reflection is invaluable for developing identity, enhancing agency and assisting academics to navigate the complexities of curriculum reform.
