Abstract
This article discusses the use of action learning groups to develop the teaching practice of postgraduate research students (PGRs) who are engaged in teaching and/or supporting the learning of students in their departments. Evaluation of the intervention is described from the academic developer and the participant perspective. From this evaluation it can be concluded that participants in this study benefited from the intervention and there was evidence of professional development in their teaching practice. One insight in particular is the conflict experienced by PGRs who are simultaneously student and colleague of their respective research supervisors. Suggestions are made as to how to ensure PGRs are appropriately supported in their teaching practice.
