Through its unique theoretical framework - a cultural understanding
of teaching and learning - this book develops a new way of
understanding educational improvement, one which focuses on the
formation and transformation of the practices through which
students learn. Based on detailed ethnographic research of
seventeen learning sites in further education colleges, this book
generates a unique insight into a wide variety of practices of
teaching and learning. Illustrated by case studies, it is
structured around three key questions: What do learning cultures in
FE look like and how do they transform over time? How do learning
cultures transform people? And, How can people (tutors, managers,
policy makers, but also students) transform learning cultures for
the better? Through a combination of theory and analysis, Improving
Learning Cultures in Further Education makes a strong case for the
importance of a cultural approach to the improvement of teaching
and learning in further education and provides practical guidance
for researchers, policymakers and practitioners for implementing
change for the better.
