Many changes in higher education derived from Europe-wide initiatives such as the Bologna process have given increasing attention to student-centred teaching approaches, allied to growth in teachers’ academic development (Clarke & Reid, 2013; HE Academy, 2011). Our study is one component of a long-standing project focused on ways to promote academic development in the context of higher education. Work since 2001 has provided a strong understanding of the dynamics of student-generated questioning, inquiry-based learning and academic practices (Pedrosa de Jesus, Lopes, Moreira & Watts, 2012)
