Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education offers a
combination of critical perspectives and practical advice that is
ideally suited for individuals interested in enhancing their
practice through analysis and critique. The aim is to promote a
critical understanding of one's own practices: to foster personal
and professional formation through a reflexive engagement with
one's environment and circumstances. At a practical level this
means to continuously think about how to adjust practice rather
than following a formulaic approach derived from any particular
educational theory.
Teaching, Learning and Research in Higher Education argues that
academics can find space for their own agency in the midst of
institutional policies and practices that serve to frame, as well
as delimit and constrain, what counts as good academic work in
teaching and research. This text bridges a gap between those books
that provide a high-level analysis of contemporary higher
education, the more practical texts on how to be a good teacher in
higher education, and those texts which aim to improve teaching
through better understanding of the learning process.
Topical chapters include:
Teacher-learner relationship, Learning groups, Practice-oriented
learning, Teaching for diversity, e-learning, Assessment,
Approaches to Staff Development, Quality assurance, Supervision and
Research education, Doing research, and Teaching &
Research.
A must-have resource for higher education professions, academic
developers, professionals, and anyone looking to improve their
teaching and learning practices, Teaching, Learning and Research in
Higher Education is also appropriate for continuing and
professional development courses in the UK and teaching and
learning courses in the US.
